Another Visa Overstay Question
Another Visa Overstay Question
Can anyone give me answers to my questions based on practical experience?
I have overstayed my e-visa by six months but will soon have the cash to pay off the fine. What's the best way of doing this? If I pay at the immigration office near the airport, do I get an exit stamp there? If so, how long before I have to leave Cambodia?
My plan is to pay the fine, get an exit stamp (in a new passport, as I don't have enough pages left to cover entry exit stamps/visas), enter Vietnam by bus (UK national so visa free 15 days), then re-enter Cambodia and buy a new e-visa at the Cambodian border.
Is this workable? If anyone has done this, or something similar, please share your experience.

I paid an overstay a couple of years back, at the immigration office across from the airport. No exit stamp, which you wont get until you leave the country anyway. Just paid for an up to date visa.
No problems on leaving or re-entering the country.
All they want is your money.

New rules. For anyone with a significant overstay they must leave country within something like 3 days.
$10 per day fine - that's a healthy fine you have built up.
Wouldn't be surprised if it isn't as easy as you suggest to get back into Cambodia - although equally wouldn't be surprised if you breeze right through...

Overstaying your Cambodian visa
It’s not advisable, but you can overstay your Cambodian visa at a cost of $10 a day, payable at Immigration on your way out of the country (the price has recently been raised from $5 per day).
If you plan to only stay a day or two over 30, this is often cheaper than getting a visa extension. However, be warned that you’ll need exact change in US dollars. If you present them with a $20 bill for a $10 overstay, it’s very likely that you won’t be given change.
The Cambodia government immigration site says that overstayers are also liable to pay the cost of an extended visa, but in practice overstayers are only charged the $5- or $6-per-day fee.

So you might not only be charged 10 USD per day, but also the costs of a visa, which adds about 180 USD in your case.

E-visa is the electronic tourist visa. I think you mean an E type visa, also known as the ordinary visa and previously known as the business visa.

I don't think anyone who overstays by six months or more ever has the money to pay the fine. The fine for that would be $1,800. You could have extended the visa for six months for what, $180?

I corrected my overstay of 60 days in the beginning of this year. Didn't have to do anything besides pay fees.

So you could have been here legally for 6 months the same price as 16 days worth of fines.

Yeah, it doesn't make any economical sense. These imbeciles probably have friends who have bummed around here for a bit and tell them not to worry, you can always bribe an immigration cop with a few bananas or something. Next thing the stupid cunts are in jail with a large bill. Maybe it's cheaper to just get kicked out than pay for a visa extension in their minds?

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Thanks for your replies. The other day I went to a travel agent who told me that if I submit a "letter of apology" (in Khmer, available from a notary office/translator) with my personal details filled in, along with passport, overstay fine and fee for new extension I wouldn't have to leave the country. I'd just get a new extension in my passport (in Cambodia) and carry on from there. Has anyone heard of this?
By the way, I know it's an "e-type", business, normal visa.

Why did you overstay and how did you come up with the $1800 -- sorry now $1810 -- to pay for it?

Ignore some of these law abiding idiots. You can pay your overstayed visa for less than 10 bucks a day and renew your visa within the country, either single or multiple entries. There are agents around that could get it done.

Yeah, people who obey laws are idiots. Especially those stupid laws forbidding guys from beating their wives.

Aww how cute you still clinging the only thing that you could counter me about a post I was venting off around 3 years ago, and this is the 4th time you are having a go at me. I appreciate you still genuinely care the well being of my family 3 years later.gavinmac wrote:Yeah, people who obey laws are idiots.

You on the other hand is a sane, traveling back and forth to Cambodia from the states for pieces of action on the riverside seeking nymphets in the last decade...I am not sure which is more sad.
Anyway OP, you can renew your visa and pay your fine within the country.
