Some have claimed that Filipinos are not accepted in Phnom Penh, which is not true if you submit all the important documents, then you will also be accepted. See picture. It is true that in Phnom Penh a lot of applicants have been rejected recently. But we submitted all the papers and were approved.

Hi,

I'm in a bit of a situation.

I'm a Filipino and I work in Poi Pet, Cambodia. I frequent Bangkok once a month for leisure since Poi Pet is a boring town if you're not into gambling. I've been to Bangkok about 4 times since I started working in Poi Pet mid 2018.

Last Friday (December 14), I was planning to go to Bangkok but was stopped at the immigration office in Aranyaprathet. I was not aware foreigners can only cross the land border twice per calendar year. So, they denied me entry, gave me a written notice and wrote something on my passport.

Again, I went to Bangkok 4 times through the land border this year (I have the stamps to back it up) and not once was I told I was breaking a regulation. According to the piece of paper they gave me, it says I did not obtain the proper visa to enter Thailand.

To make things worse, I have a flight back to the Philippines through BKK airport in January 2019. My concerns now are:

1)Will my two-entries per year refresh even after they gave me a written notice?

2) If I would need a transit visa, would they give me one considering I was given a written notice?

Thanks.
