I'm currently in Siem Reap, Cambodia with six days validity left on my visa and I've decided to pay the $45 for an extension since I like it here and since with the weekend starting and then Tet starting in Vietnam with a slew of public holidays I probably can't get a Vietnam visa in time!

Anyway, the information I find on the web tells me to extend in Siem Reap I must go to the

Office for Foreign Aliens in Siem Reap town.

But I can't seem to find where that is. Yesterday I thought I found it on Google maps but ended up in some bizarre half-dead failed development area between the town and the archeological park!

So yes I can ask at my guesthouse, but for the benefit of other people on the interwebs I'll ask in a post here. Where is this "Office for Foreign Aliens? aka Where do I go to extend my visa in Siem Reap?

It looks like that page I quoted on www.cambodiahome.com is at least out of date, and probably just outright wrong.

I asked the person at the desk at my guesthouse and it seems jpatokal and Tom are right that it can't be done directly in Siem Reap.

The guesthouse quoted me a price above $60 taking four days by sending it off to Phnom Penh.

I think I'll head for the capital tomorrow and try to get the extension on Monday at the office in the airport.
