Reports of major change to visa laws imminent
Given the coming massive oversupply of condos to the property market - almost all seemingly directed at ex-pat buyers - this hardly seems the best time to bring in such laws, after the government ignoring their implementation for over 20 years. However logic was never Cambodia's strong point.
Do you mean Chinese buyers? Because China will buy Phnom Penh after they are finished with Sihanoukville and these changes won't bother them much.RBD wrote:almost all seemingly directed at ex-pat buyers
That's why the girlie bars will close. To make room for Chinese investments.

This has been discussed several times. These new-builds are not aimed at western expats, but rather Chinese investors who will never live in them but use them as a vehicle to access USD.

Am I right in thinking the Chinese and Korean brothers already get 5-year visas? Could have imagined it.
Only Japanese pp holders currently, and max 3 yr visas (E3 & T3), China and Korea haven't signed the MOU yet (unless that's changed very recently and it wasn't publisized?).RobW wrote:Am I right in thinking the Chinese and Korean brothers already get 5-year visas? Could have imagined it.

It was reported in 2016 that the Chinese and Korean brothers can apply for 3 year multiple entry visas. I don't know exactly what the prakas say about it.RobW wrote:Am I right in thinking the Chinese and Korean brothers already get 5-year visas? Could have imagined it.

China and South Korea are currently applying for the three-year option. Depending on the individual agreements, some visa holders may be required to leave the country at certain intervals, Veasna added.

I don't understand why the haven't raised the price of these 12 month visa extensions. The price has been the same for a decade right? The 30 day tourist visa cost went up by 50% in that time.
Follow my lame Twitter feed: @gavin_mac
The fee increased by $10 in October, 2014, and by $5 or so in July, 2017. Aren't you supposed to remember everything? You're slipping, this was only 3 months ago.gavinmac wrote:I don't understand why the haven't raised the price of these 12 month visa extensions. The price has been the same for a decade right?

That sounds naieve to me. I'm not on the ground, but several serious people are telling me this is the real deal this time. Normally I would dismiss it as 'again?', but with all the other shit going down, there does appear to be a shift in attitudes and tolerance.
Maybe I'm wrong. I dunno.
I blame all the lefty liberal beardy types who think they are journos.
Personally I wanted to leave anyway but now I'm going to stay, just because I'm sure I can.

Work Permits are valid from 1st Jan till 31st Dec, applications are from 1st Jan till 31st Mar (this year the deadline was extended until end of April).Lucky Lucan wrote:That's true about the dates, they are basically valid for one calendar year. The first one I got was applied for in February but took a while to process and only got delivered around September with 3 months left on it. I didn't care as the whole backlog had been sorted out. The next one was a bit quicker. Now you get a neater credit card-style permit now instead of some laminated document.Bubble T wrote:violet wrote:Other than extending only for three months, I wonder what the best course of action is for a person whose work permit ends in December and whose EOS ends in January.
Afaik all work permits expire on Dec 31st, and you apply for next year's before that (I think its supposed to be November, I can check at work tomorrow). That means anyone applying for a long term visa from September would be doing so with only a couple of months left on the work permit. I can only assume this means you need the permit for the visa to be issued, but that the permit doesn't have to be valid for the full term of the visa.
I don't see how it could work any other way.

Visa fees were increased...But the EOS fees have not increased in several years, the cost of an extension of stay is the same as it was when I first came here, even longer from my understanding. You having trouble reading tonight? HahaAlexandra wrote:The fee increased by $10 in October, 2014, and by $5 or so in July, 2017. Aren't you supposed to remember everything?
