Bad Experience at Poi Pet

One of the travelers would like to share his experience in Poi Pet.

I recently visited Cambodia and I wish to report an unpleasant experience I had during my entry. I entered the country at Poi Pet on 20/Dec, after taking the train from Bangkok to Aranyaprathet.Because I didn’t have a Visa, I went to the Visa Office to get one. On my way there, I was approached by several touts, but I turned them all away because I’ve always liked to do things professionally and not be a victim of scams.When I got there, I went to grab a form, but before I could do that,someone dressed with a yellow polo shirt handed me one.Then, I sat down at the chairs to fill the form and an immigration police officer offered me a seat next to his desk, located around 10 meters from the office counter. I kindly rejected and sat by myself.

Friendly Cambodia Immigration Officers
Since Cambodian Government launched e-Visa on April 2006, the immigration officers have taken their initiative to learn on how to process travelers with e-Visa. Although the process is slightly different from the traditional way, the immigration officers have given their full cooperation and allow e-Visa travelers to pass through immigration without any delay. Moreover, the immigration officers also help to direct e-Visa travelers to the correct lane.
