Anyone been through VOA lately and can confirm?

============
From the FAQ page on VOA.
(http://www.embassyofcambodia.org/faq.html)
One recent photograph (4x6 cm)
============
From the page on a mail-in visa application. (http://www.embassyofcambodia.org/visa.html)
One current passport sized photo (2"x2")
============
a standard passport picture is what they expect.

Don't sweat it. You don't need a photo. What you need is $2. Bumped up from $1 not long ago.

While I've never used VOA I've also never used a 2x2 picture for any visa app in Asia. In fact for my most recent Cambodian visa extension I forgot my pic and my TA's exact words were: Oh no problem, we'll just scan your passport photo.

Point being bring whatever photos you currently have and don't fret it.

I believe Cambodian Immigration concluded that foreigners of many nationalities kind of look a little bit like George Washington anyway, so that is why they will accept official US Government issued documents containing his picture, in lieu of your picture, should you hapen to not have a picture of yourself with you.

never tried e-visa but I always had front seat in plane so got to the counter first.
Next time I'm taking PG for the first time and all asr seats were rows 15+.
So I´ll try my luck to negotiate front seat during check in. E-visas can't be extended for more than one month.
Oh and those full-page-visa stickers.. visa extension takes one more page ! holy cr*p

If you want to extend to a 6 month or 1 year, be sure to check 'BUSINESS' on the immigration form.

How are you seeing the seating chart?

On PG's flights BKK-PNH v.v. (except for the ATR72) rows 1-3 are either C or pseudo-C; rows 4-7 are reserved for Premier members.

And pony up the additional $5 ($25 total).

6&12m gets multi-entry too. Not bad for ~250us compared to never ending thai visa runs.

pg933 should be a320, one-class flight.
Premium priced Y gets rows 1-14. Two cheaper fares get 15+.

A 1yr extension runs $283 US. Possibly this is $258 + $25 but I've never had it broken down for me.

If a 320 then yes, it's guaranteed to be a 1 class flight. As for the designations of row numbers I've no idea. Typically the first 3 or 4 rows of Y are held for Premier members and potentially overflow should it be a full flight. It's been a few years since I've sat more than 2 rows behind the Y bulkhead on any PG flight.

ETA: Row 1 on the A320 is not a great seat if you have any carryon. The overhead over ABC is restricted and the one over DEF has a shelf system on one side minimizing what can be put up there.

Website errors galore. First I get time-outs, now it says "Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.visitorlog'.'PK_visitorlog' in database 'evisa_db2' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup".

these things happen in Cambodia... Sometimes it gets so disorganized, it starts to look organized.. And you love them even more!
For 28 us for a tourist evisa, i'd skip all e-stuff and fill in the application in plane.

Cambodia: Change in Website for E Visa?

I read somewhere that there is a new change in where to find the website to obtain an E Visa for Cambodia. Can anyone give me the website that is the official one for the E Visa and any experience you have had with it?

Thanks

Thank you for your help. I presume people have found this works well, and is better then waiting until you arrive there to get the visa?
