I went to them and asked about a retirement visa. they took the yellow small immigration from you fillin on the pklane and wrote a big E in the bottom left corner.
Went to the counter. They gave me back the white immigration form, took the yellow one and releived m of $35. they di no want any photos, and that was it, ten minutes later I had an E visa. SO don't they need photos anymore? and what is the point of the big white vuisa on arrival form if you dont need it? I suspect maybe its because i showed them i had a previous ER visa which expired 4 monhts ago and maybe if i was a first time visitor it would have been different?
Weirdness 2 and 3 both happened last week. i went to get my E changed to and ER at lucky. they told me it would likely be october now because of Pchum benh. I screamed and ranted and they told me there was a 1 day service availbale for $75 or a 4 day service for $40. I went a bit ballistic and showed them pictures of the kids i needd to take to the dentist and why was i forced to pay corrupt immigration officilas so much and hey presto the manage did a 1 day servce for $220 ( othere wanted $240 and no, i am not going toqueue up for 3 days at the airport getting nowhere like last time)
And finally today is the first night of Pchum bneh and i just went out for a shopping trip. Almost everyone was stopping at the red light at midnight? WTF are they putting in the water these days?
