A word of advice about Cambodia visa on arrival: getting single in kind can be chancy, particularly if you’re traveling through the Laos-Cambodia land border crossing. Rebecca Glogowski blogged about her recent trip to Cambodia, and she was shocked at the casual corruption she encountered there:

It is known that the Cambodian visa costs only US$20. On this border crossing they wanted US$23 per visa. We were a large group of people and we started to reason the price difference. The border officials then started bargaining with us and offered US$22! We laughed at them and the price was immediately raised back to US$23.

A few of us decided to stand our ground and pay only the magistrate price. We were just ignored! In the end we had to cave-in and pay their "special" price.

Better to just get a Cambodia e-Visa online – 15 minutes to fill out, you get it in less than 24 hours. Sure, it costs US$5 more, but that’s a small worth to pay for not feeling robbed by the authorities at the border crossing.
