Do we need Cambodian visa to enter Cambodia?

Looks like if Phu Nam Ron does not open before April I will just go to the Chaengwattana Immigration office as will work out cheaper.

In I had a multiple non O visa, my wife knew an immigration officer and he used to send my passport to Padang Besar to be stamped every 3 months. This cost me a bottle of whisky every time! What about catching the train to Padang Besar and doing a quick border bounce?

Hi Paul, my wife phoned Kanchanaburi Immigration on Friday and they said Phu Nam Ron is not open for Foreigners yet. I used Poipet once in 2007, I caught the train from Bangkok to Aranyaprathet. I obtained a Cambodian visa from the embassy in Bangkok, I spent 3 days in a hotel in Poipet then came back no problems, I had a multiple entry 3 month non O visa. Do you think I could use Poipet again just to do a border bounce straight in and out?

@Paul ******

Does the Immigration office at Phu Nam Ron have a direct phone number?

@Paul ******

Will the Thai Immigration office in Kanchanaburi be able to give more details on this border opening?

I crossed the border at Mai Sai twice in 1994 in a minibus and we had a look around Tachileik, I was with my Thai wife and her family they purchased lots of silk. When we crossed back into to Thailand it was 4.30pm which was fine for Thai people but we missed the sign saying foreigners must cross before 4pm! Immigration would not give me my passport back unless I paid a fine, when I said I would want a receipt he just handed my passport to me.

Thanks again Paul. I have sent an email to xploreasia.org who are based in Hua Hin, they used to organise visa runs from Hua Hin to Phu Nam Ron. I asked them if they have any details on the border opening.

@Paul ******

yes, that's what I meant, another years health insurance. When you went in the past did you go straight in and back out again or did you spend a few hours in Myanmar?

@Paul ******

Do I just need to take my passport and medical insurance documents?
