Didn't say that.

However, the rules are changing so things may get tighter in the future. Who knows?
For context...please advise:

How much of the $280.usd is actually for the VISA Extension i.e. documented fees, and how much are the agency and their contacts pocketing. I don't mind paying, just curious.

Thank you.

I understand the documented fee is around $150. But, I've never heard of anyone getting it for that price. Plus, I think you need to apply months in advance.
Most agents charge the $280. (That seems to be considered normal price).

i "lost" pulled out an old Cambodian visa sticker about 3 years ago,

NO ONE would place a stamp on that page till i went to Burma an asked them to staple their visa on the page,

U might as well get a new one as your going to have to leave sooner or later an with no pages.....

Maybe if u slip them some extra $$$

No mention of work visas, CJM?
I forwarded your enquiry to my in-house legal adviser, current Mrs CJM444, I understand the situation is I am retired but it could equally have been retarded.

They won't do that, you will just be required to carry around BOTH passports until the old visa in the old passport is no longer valid/needed.

That will happen when you exit Cambodia next.

They will stamp you out on your old passport and all new visas will go on your new passport, thus rendering your old passport officially dead.

I remember reading about someone doing it on 440 and I think it was just a few weeks and he went to a place near the airport, can't remember the specific ministry.

In any case, unless you're short on cash, I really wouldn't recommend the headache. The system seems designed to route us through these extension agencies, so any attempt around that is going to involve heavy resistance. Why bother?

Just expended mine and was 280. Asked a few places and little difference.
Be interested to hear any stories of folks who have managed to get it much cheaper.
