Will UK citizens be banned from Cambodia?
Hello,
It's been a while since I've posted here, but I have a rather important question I need answered.
I have a feeling the apocalypse is coming. Every country in South East Asia (even as far as India out west) have essentially banned every foreigner until end of this month. But I'm pretty sure this will be extended for months at the very least and they're just trying not to panic anyone.
Cambodia is the only country in the region left apparently lets UK citizens inside. I know they have alreaded banned US, Italy, Spain, France, and Germany. At the rate the UK is getting worse I'm sure they'll be added to the list soon enough.
So my life in Thailand is over. I could extend my visa for a month and try somewhere else if they do lift bans on 31st March, but I can't see it happening.
I would like to come back to Cambodia, get a long term visa, and ride out the storm until it passes.
I'm I crazy in thinking if I show up at Poipet they'll take my $35 (plus bribe) and give me a visa + plus they'll give me a nice long one at Lucky Lucky?
If not, I might need to go back home to a life of depression and normality.
Cheers!

My guess is yes but don’t know when. Today, tomorrow, one week.
Many are going home including expats to be with family. It’s like that movie 2012 where that couple hug each other on the beach before the tsunami hits.
Get a grip people!

LOL I've just been on holiday with my family in Thailand for a few weeks and they are most certainly fine.
I don't have any old relatives left. If I started that last sentence with 'luckily' it would have been so wrong.
So you reckon I might be okay for a few more days?
I don’t know.
The longer you procrastinate the less chances you have.
Don’t be that 2012 couple.

That 2012 couple got back together again when the new husband died.
It's a bad example lol

Didn't the tsunami already happen on the coast though mate?
Well, Sihanoukville, certainly looks like it's been through one anyway. What an absolute shithole.

I fly back to the UK from my lockdown in Quito tomorrow. I have a Salvoconducto and a letter from the British Embassy to aid my trip to the airport, just hope I can flag down a willing taxi.
My plan was to fly to the Philippines in two weeks time, spend two months travelling around Malaysia with my Filipina girlfriend.
Then the Philippines and Malaysia bought in their big clampdowns, so I changed my flight to Thailand planning three months solo chillout in Thailand and Cambodia.
Then the Thais clamped down, no way to get a health clearance so Thailand is off the books, Travel to Cambodia would have a flight connection in Thailand so I guess that is also impossible.
I could currently still fly from the UK to Mexico. A friend in Mexico tells me that she hasn't ventured out for a week, a lot of places there are closed, everything seems quiet, and the Mexican President is considered insane because he is still hugging and kissing people.
So it looks like I will be stuck in the UK for a long time. I cannot see how restrictions can be eased, Thailands strict entry policies for UK travellers will not be dropped any time soon, why should they when one infected tourist could trigger an epidemic.
I reckon that International travel from the UK will be severely impacted for at least a year, possibly far longer.
If I was in Thailand or Cambodia I would NOT return to the UK.

All UK citizens except for the Welsh should be banned from travelling( full stop).

We are now closed for any non-EU citizen and Belgians, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Ha I knew it was bound to happen.
Thankfully Thailand has decided to keep letting people extend their 30 day visas at immigration until the world has come back to life.
I will come back when the ban lifts.
Just annoying I have to live one month at a time now.
