What happens if you refuse to pay the $3 visa photo "fee" at airport immigration?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Only a blowhard would presume that someone travelling to SEA for the first time would automatically think to bring a stash of passport photos
tbh the first time i came out here i knew id need a stash of passport photos so i tried ordering 12 photos (for visas etc) turned out they gave me 12 x 6 photos, 6 years later im still using them (and still have quite a few left) trouble is it looks nothing like me now and usually gets a laugh :D

i look like a fucking pikey/bogan in it its bad! haha i would post the picture here for a laugh, but i prefer to stay anonymous on these forums :roll: :wink:
if i ever got in the shit in Cambodia though and my passport picture gets posted, you will see, as i regrettably used the same photo when i renewed my passport a few years ago :BangHead: :suicide:
