Thailand is known for foreigners to obtain a residence permit extended. However, need a tourist visa from Western countries like the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, and you leave the country every 60-90 days. There are several reasons for these two political and economic, but a separate argument.
I have the car from Bangkok as this is the most populated and central place. Bangkok, in all tourist areas offering services toutbe "visa runs", which is located mostly in travel agency and at many hotels. The inflated prices are very good for Thai, but it's worth for many people, these services completely all for you. It is not even physically see an immigration officer! Simply fill out the form and the person by the body, takes along with your passport at the border and bring your stamps. I always have my passport, it was difficult to treat another person, especiallya stranger from another country. However, there are many agencies that offer this service, and I know that people can use these services, no problem. To use, they are generally a safe.
Because I like frugality, so I wanted the cheapest way possible. Here's what I did and what I spent in Bangkok.
He took the subway station Mo Chit. This cost $ 15-40B to the second coming, where you are.
TakeA taxi from the station Mo Chit Bus Terminal to the North. 50B.
Get a bus ticket to Aranyapathet 400B, and back.
The bus stops at the bus station Aranyapathet about 6 km from the border. You can walk, but it is better to take a tuk-tuk 50B.
This step is important. You men cambodian approach is the support several times to close the border with the handling of visas. You need to do this. They are very friendly and hospitable. They arehave an official looking registration form. You can accept their offer, if you choose, but you pay more and more we have a complete stranger to treat the passport. Politely decline and continue to advance in the Thai immigration authority. Once you get to line up on a foreign passport. Make sure the card to start. You have so do not worry if you do not sell. Get the stamp of departure and leave the office. There is no paid leave.
Next you need acambodian visa. This is one of the things that boys will approach. Do it yourself with ease. Once you leave the immigration authorities in Thailand to go right to Poipet, the Office of Border Check Point Commission. Will go into a seemingly empty room with a big enough officers in uniform cambodian government. Fill the visa application and submit it to the window. It will help officers to assist. However, they demand a higher rent thannecessary. It 'clearly written that the fee is $ 20USD. Politely insist that you only pay that amount. If not a $ 1000B, is the price at the Embassy of Cambodia in Bangkok. He will ask if you have health insurance or to say that it is a new processing fee. It is not true. These officers, while only trusted earn about $ 30USD per month and is trying to extort money from foreigners. But remember, always polite to deal with. There is also aphoto on the passport application is mandatory. They will ask 100B, after the photo. I paid since I am not a photo, but they never took my picture. They have turned my visa and sent me on my way! The picture is not necessary, but there was no way that you can not call.
After I went to the office cambodian immigration, which is about 500 meters down the road. Technically you left Thailand. There are many casinos and many duty-free items along the 5-minuteWalk. You meet more men seek to support the processing and children and beggars. Keep walking. Once you arrive at the Cambodian Immigration, you will receive an arrival form to complete. This time you have to offer to the Cambodian officials, this process for you for a fee. Politely refuse again and conflict with them. There is no fee.
Once you have your stamps, you leave the office, and we are officially in Cambodia. There is not much in the small town of Poipet to do, but thingsfound even cheaper than Thailand.
You can now turn around and go back to Thailand. The exit is just across the street. Fill in the form of departure, which they attacked in your passport. Tail and have your passport stamped again. There is no paid leave.
Back to the street after the casinos of the Thai immigration. It is located on the opposite side of the road from where did you find out you need to know to ignore that offers anyoneto help you. Fill out the form to get your arrival at the office and processed again.
Leave the office and was back in Thailand. The renewal of visas is now complete. Take a tuk-tuk 50B to return to the bus station and back to Bangkok.
Here's a summary of costs:
Metro / Taxi to the Northern Bus Terminal 90B
Roundtrip ticket forAranyapathet 400B
Tuk-tuk from Aranyapathet Border 50B
cambodian visa600B ($ 20USD)
