New Cambodia 3 day transit visa - $15
I wonder why they are doing this and who is the target market? Visa runners from Thailand?
I'd be afraid that this might encourage backpackers to only spend 3 days in Cambodia instead of 5-10.
Also, whenever I see the term transit visa, I question whether it will be only to travelers who are stopping in Cambodia on their way to a third country, or whether someone flying Bangkok-Siem Reap-Bangkok could get one.

Can you overstay the transit visa and pay $5 a day? If so, this visa will be the cheapest option for stays of 5 days or less.

Plus $7 fee so total cost will be $22. The press release wording suggests the transit visa will only be available as an evisa.

Haha, right. Why enter on a $30 tourist visa and overstay forever when you can enter on a $15 transit visa and overstay forever?

Yes, it sort of suggests that. That's an interesting question - can you get a transit visa at the airport if you don't get the e-visa online and pay the extra fee.QED wrote:Plus $7 fee so total cost will be $22. The press release wording suggests the transit visa will only be available as an evisa.

So they create a new transit visa that will mainly cater to visa runners and a few business men but don't sort the retiree and other badly needed visas to sort the WP clusterfuck ??

Who transits in Cambodia?
They could have at least been sensible and offered a 7 day visa free period at border crossings so the tourists bother crossing from Vietnam and Thailand.
