Cambodia Visa Extension (agency or do it yourself?)
Cambodia Visa Extension (agency or do it yourself?)
I couldn't find the information when I did a search on this forum!
I've done a Duckduckgo search and found conflicting information. Some say it's a lot of trouble to get a visa extension and to go through an agency while others said it's easy to do it yourself in 2019.
I've been quoted by my Hotel for a 30 visa extension (10 days) for $55. From what I've been told it's only $30 if I do it myself but it can take 2-3 weeks? Some sites say 2-4 days??
Should I do it myself or through an agency?
What is the cost for 30 days visa extension?
How long does it take?

What city are you in.
Re: Visa Extension (agency or do it yourself?)
What type of visa do you currently have?
Which part of Cambodia are you in?
By the sounds of it, you may be on a Tourist Visa and only want a 1 month extension of stay (which is the max for a Tourist Visa).
If that's the case, I would advise just using a visa agent, maximum you should pay is $45. Allow at least 7 - 14 days.
It's only really beneficial to apply yourself directly at the Department of Immigration if applying for a 6 or 12 month EOS.

I'm in PP.
I got a normal 30 day visa on arrival at the airport.

Re: Visa Extension (agency or do it yourself?)
I don't have a clue what they gave me at the airport. I joined a line with everyone else, gave my passport and they said to wait at the collection window with another line. They never asked about what visa I wanted where I only took about 5 minutes. I paid about $35US for 30 days (I'm Australian).
What about my Thai girlfriend who is on 14 days? What are my options for her? Can I apply for an Evisa for her?

Re: Visa Extension (agency or do it yourself?)
It's up to you to figure out whether you got an extendable $35 "ordinary" visa on arrival or a non-extendable $30 tourist visa. Did you check tourist visa on the form or ordinary visa?fitnesspm wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 7:20 am I don't have a clue what they gave me at the airport.

The 30 day Tourist visa can be extended for 30 days.

When all else fails read the government of Cambodia law (Ministry of Foreign affairs and International Co-operation) re: visa regulations.
You could be next.

Locate the number on your visa. It should be printed on the left side. If it is prefixed by a T, it’s a tourist visa. Ordinary visas are prefixed by an E.fitnesspm wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 7:20 am I don't have a clue what they gave me at the airport.

About your girlfriend’s 14-day-entry, I don’t know. I would use a travel agent if you only want a month’s extension. They should also be able to tell you what options your girlfriend has.
Almost all travel agents should be able to help to extend a tourist visa and advise on your girlfriend’s options.
If you are in Phnom Penh and don’t have a travel agent close by, you could try CINA Travel on St. 130 or Lucky Lucky Motorcycles on Monivong. Just Google to see which one is closer.
