Cambodia 12-month Visa Renewal
Cambodia 12-month Visa Renewal
Dropped my passport off to get another 12 mth renewal on Thursday, got a phone call yesterday to say that immigration won't renew because its more than 10 days before my current visa expires. Anyone else had this issue? Might take it to another renewal joint tomorrow and see if i have more luck.

Re: Visa Renewal
I don't have a link for you, but I seem to recall it needs to be dropped to an agent within a few days of expiry... a bloke raised this last year on 440 and ended up taking it on the last day of his current visa - no drama. Don't rely solely on my word though, obviously.

Re: Visa Renewal
If you have somewhere reliable (travel agent etc), just leave it with them and they'll submit it within the necessary time for you. I know a place if you need one. Have left them passport for 1 month and someone else I know left theirs for several months. Usual prices.

Re: Visa Renewal
I'll be interested to hear how you get on PSD_Kiwi. Mine is due for renewal at the end of October and I was hoping to get it done towards the end of this month to beat the 1 October price hike...
Re: Visa Renewal
Yes. This year has been a bit different, but in the past that has been pretty standard. They generally don't want to renew visas until the current visa is almost expired, but I don't think it's a hard and fast rule. Maybe try pleading special circumstances.PSD-Kiwi wrote:Dropped my passport off to get another 12 mth renewal on Thursday, got a phone call yesterday to say that immigration won't renew because its more than 10 days before my current visa expires.

Re: Cambodia 12-month Visa Renewal
I can only report personally on renewing my visa this past December.
I was able to renew mine about 6 weeks before it expired, BUT I would lose the number of days I did it before the 30 days of expiration.
If I had waited until it was within 30 days of expiration, I wouldn't have lost any days.
I did it 10 days early, which means I lost 10 days from when it should have been extended to.
Yes, I know that's confusing.
I also know things may have changed a lot since December, 2013.
I should try mailing it back to one of you peeps and see if you can extend it in-country for another year while I'm here....hmmm

Re: Cambodia 12-month Visa Renewal
Thanks guys. My current 12 mth visa doesn't expire until the end of October, but I'm headed back to Iraq soon and won't be back until November, which is why I tried to renew it now. I would've lost about 20 days by renewing more than a month before the expiry date, but it would have saved me using up another full page in my passport, and having to pay the increased visa cost after Oct 1st.

Did they quote you the new price of extending your Cambodia visa for 12 months after October 1?PSD-Kiwi wrote:Thanks guys.
