Hi,

normally I don't get any problems, because I am taking the visa-run company. Today we did small trip with a car, and on this trip I decided to make a visarun to Cambodia, I did it before with company, so why not try it alone and possibly cheaper. So here is my story:

I come to Cambodian Border, I got with me 20 USD, copy of passport, photo. I leaved Thailand without any problem. After Thai border is VisaRun company, which did last time everything for us on "package tour", but today I was alone. They ask, where I go, and I said, I am going to make a visarun. Somebody said, it is illegal to stay 1 day in Cambodia, and they asked for visa-service 1200 baht or something. I got 20 USD and prepared for this, so I just go straight to Cambodian Border. Officer in uniform, in office on "Arrivals" (I fill up the forms and so on), asked me, where I go to Cambodia. I said, I am making visarun, so I am coming back to Thailand. Then, he said: this is illegal, you have to stay at least 1 day in cambodia, but if you give me 1000 bht, it will be OK. I said, I got 20 USD with me, and I want tourist visa - he said, not possible. So then, I was lucky, and got 1000 bht with me, so I gave him. Ok, I got visa, now another window - departures. After filling forms, etc, I wanted to "leave" Cambodia, and officer ask me for 300 bht, because I did not stay there at least 1 day! I say WTF, I just paid 1000 bht for this. Anyway, to make long story short - I gave him 200 bht (I didn't have more...), and went back to Thailand, and my visarun was OK, but I didn't expect this.

My questions:
- it is really illegal to make a visarun, one must stay in Cambodia at least 1 day?
- what I can do next time, when OFFICER don't allow me to enter/exit Cambodia without giving to him some coFEE? I was thinking to call somewhere, go to big boss, but I think big money is there, so nobody cares about the real rules.

I think this is just * scam going on and this visa company got really good business there together with officers.

Please advice. Border was Phser Prom.

Hi all,

I am living on island, we don't have any real shop, which can print photos for good prices, so usually I print my photos in Europe, but I want switch.

So question is, do you know some good online shop, where one can upload photos, they print it, and send ? I was looking for such a service and found nothing (and website should be also in english:)

Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to make my first business visa, I am from Slovakia, 30 years old. With making business visa, it shouldn't be problem, but I worry about work permit - which I will not have. My question is:

do you have any advice, when I will make my first visa-run after 3 months on business visa (I will apply for multiple, 1 year), if they will change it to tourist visa, if I will dont have work-permit? I heard something, they have power to do this, but I want to know, in the reality, how often is this applied, or to know which border to avoid, etc.

Thanks for any help guys, your opinion/experience is welcome.
