From the end of December 2012, Thailand and Cambodia have signed the ACMECS which is an agreement of using a unique visa for traveling multi countries. This agreement lets a traveler from 35 countries and mutual domain can use only one visa for both countries. The visitors are able to get visa at the local embassies, the immigration office at Thais or Cambodian custom port, then they can stay at any territories in an agreement.
