No more freeloading....

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Paid $150 for the conversion and $290 for a year. No overstay fine... ImageImage
So you entered on a Tourist Visa back in 2020 and were still able to convert to an E-type Visa EOS now? Based on those prices I'm guessing was via a Visa agency. Care to share details because there are a lot of you in the same boat.
I would imagine all travel agencies that deal with visas can sort this out. =)

The reason there was no overstay fee (from the 22th of April) was because nobody (including the travel agencies) was notified about the change.

That makes sense. While I'm not surprised that they've ended the "freeloading" now that the travel restrictions have been lifted pretty much everywhere, they really should have given some advance warning.

There's nothing to complain about -

Tourist visa $30 for 2 years stay. $150 conversion = $180
E- visa $290 same has what all pay. $290 x2 = $580
Always "hope" but never "expect".
