Quick question: In making a visa run (it will be to Phnom Penh), is there a requirement of Thai immigration that one has to be out-of-country 24 hrs, or can it be a same-day turn-around. Many thanks.  I have lived here many years, recently on a Non-O, so, new to me.  With thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual inquired about the necessity of staying out of Thailand for 24 hours when making a visa run to Phnom Penh. Responses indicated that an overnight stay is not required; however, entering Cambodia by air necessitates a visa on arrival, incurring a fee and using a passport page.

No need to stay overnight but entering Cambodia by air requires a Cambodia VOA. That means one passport page wasted and USD30 fee to pay for (or 32 if you don't bring a photo along). Penang could be a better option.
