In reply to Ian. Yes, this is not an official service offered, although it is regularly offered, and it should cost $2, and can probably be negotiated to $2. That said I have not crossed the land border lately and do not know if the price has been impacted by inflation.

Hi, Regarding scanning your passport for a visa photo, you say;
The “official unofficial” cost for this service is $2.
what do you mean official unofficial?
Do you mean the price for this scanning has a “normal price” of $2, even though this is not an official service?
Thanks

Anyone who has a lonely planet guide and does a minimal amount of research will know what the safe ways to transit the border are. You just have to do a minimal amount of planning ahead. We got our Cambodia visas in Bangkok ahead of time so it wasn’t an issue at all for us.
