They said it was the airline's policy and arguing about it for half an hour got me no where. In the end they suggested that I buy a cheap onward ticket, then cancel it and get a refund upon my arrival in Cambodia, which is what I did. The onward ticket I got was about $100 to fly from PP to HCMC, you don't need to double the cost of your ticket by getting a return, you just have to have another ticket to somewhere else. By the time it was all resolved the only cost was a bit of stress and a $30 cancellation fee.

No, you're not the only person denied boarding on a flight to Cambodia, or any country, due to lack of an onward ticket. It happens all the time. Not every airline checks for an onward ticket and not every staff member checks it, but some do. Some airlines may let you sign a waiver, some don't give that option.

He should buy a cheap onward ticket or arrive at the airport early enough that he can buy an onward ticket over the wifi on the spot if they don't want to check him in.

I would buy the throw away tickets in the past just in case some airline in the USA gave me a hard time or if I arrived and had an issue...
Then, I met a guy who said...Just buy a bus ticket..
So, I buy a bus ticket leaving in 28 days...
My Retirement visa extension solves all that these days...
But, cover your ass is my advice.
As far as African visa on arrival...it depends on your country...
Go on line and buy a $13us ticket to Bangkok or Vietnam that departs before 30 days...
I am not sure if you need the pics anymore..they have cameras and take your pic upon entry...
shit changes..
good luck

Hello,

This seems to be the most recent post on visas. It's been a while since I was out of the country and am coming back soon. I am trying to decide whether to get a tourist visa or a ordinary visa. I don't have work so I guess I would need the EG visa if I wanted to use the ordinary one.

It seems the main advantage of a ordinary visa over the tourist one is that it can be multiple entry. I am planning to go to Vietnam and would like to come back. In that case the tourist visa is void as soon as I leave. But in the case of the ordinary visa would I not have a multiple entry status until I apply for the 6 month, extension, correct? Do I have to wait until nearly the end of the month of the ordinary visa to apply for the 6 month extension?

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

But if you're willing to make a donation for the 'fill up the parking lot with SUV's' program at the DoI they will process your application in one or three working days.

Thank you both... I decided to get the tourist visa this time, but on returning from Vietnam, I may opt for the ordinary visa, with an EG EOS. Am I correct that it is the EG EOS that allows one to stay while one is looking for work? And is it still true that one can only get one EG EOS, or are you now allowed to get more than one?

Thanks for the info! This is a good deal and sounds like an improvement. I think it was in 2017, they were saying you could only get one EG. It seems to give you quite a lot of time to become productive!

Just don't be surprised if the rules for EG EOS change while you're here.
