Does anyone know what companies do a border run to get a visa? How long does it take and how much?

I had a c-2, renewed once and now they say I have to leave to get another.

Everyone I know does it on there own (as I did prior to TRC). Get the bus to Phnom Penh, apply for your visa there (6moths easily available and 12 month on occasion).
Good way to relax for a couple of days and easy to do.
