yes i agree it makes no sense you would have to cancel visa to go home, makes absolutely no sense. Like, they would deny your exit? Nonsense. But, this is what they told me, I know, makes no sense
no, I was actually told by the immigration i have to cancel it. If not, it can be made at the airport etc but it might get me late from my flight, because its not just stamp out, its paperwork with school
no even when you drive abroad, they make the paperwork (about the car, insurance, all) pain in the *** what i have heard... thats why its a slow border i guess, but never had my own experience this is only hearsay
i drove to pakkad border 2 times, all smooth no problems, 15mins back in car heading back home (i had my dtv approved in my home country, and i waited there)
not troubles about dtv but in general, i dont have experience from there but every time i talk with any longterm resident here about border run, they say dont go poipet
dont go poipet border, its known for troubles so i wouldnt be surprised if they compare your dtv approval date to your indonesian exit stamp, and try to ask for bribe or something
