International Border Crossings

 Cambodia shares overland border crossings with Thailand (Poipet, Koh Kong, O'Smach, Pailin, and Kamreang district), Vietnam (Moc Bai and Chau Doc) and a semi-official crossing with Laos (Voeung Kam). The Thai crossing at Poipet is the closest to Siem Reap, Koh Kong is closest to Sihanoukville and the Vietnamese crossing at Moc Bai is most convenient to Phnom Penh. Visas at Overland Border Crossings Border crossings with Thailand Cambodian visas and 30-day Thai transit visas are available at all Thai/Cambodian border crossings. Thai transit visas are free of charge. Other types of Thai visas are not available. At the Poipet and Koh Kong crossings, Cambodian immigration is charging 1000 baht for a tourist visa and 1500 baht for a business visa. Unlike the rest of the country, they sometimes refuse dollars. At current exchange rates, the price in baht is significantly more expensive than the official prices of $20 and $25. If they try this scam, just be politely insistent about paying the right price. Be prepared for minor scams from the Cambodian border guards, especially at Koh Kong and Poipet. Scam #1: Touts! They will insist that you need their help to obtain a visa. This is not true. They want to charge an ex1ra fee. The visa process is easy, straightforward and do-it-yourself. Scam #2: Immigration police may try to over- charge 100-300 baht for the visa. Try asking for a receipt.
