Changing O/A to O visa retirement:

My O/A visa expired yesterday so i flew to Phnom Penn and returned back to DMK airport today.

I was armed with loads of back-up paperwork Covid Vax certifcate flight out of Thailand and 20,000 baht cash and I was greeted by an extremely polite I.O. Officer who asked for NOTHING no questions whatsoever just stamped my passport for 45 days visa exempt and said with a big smile welcome back Mr. Malcolm.

Special thanks to this group in particular Stewart Cumming for his help and advice 👍🏻🙏🏻
