I'll come to Cambo at the end of this month and just come back from the french Cambodian ambassade in Paris and they don't make more than 1 month business visa (new from the 1sr january 2005)...
According to the Cambodian ambassade in Paris you still can have your visa at the airport but as they told me no more than 1 month Business visa...
NEW BUSINESS VISA

Silly question but must ask since I will need the info very soon myself...
When renewing your business visa, do you get a "price break' if you want to buy 3 months at a time, or something like that? Or is supposedly (depending on whom you are dealing with) $25 per month always...
Was never clear on that one, so hope someone can clarify for me. Would be nice to just pay for multiple months at a time also. Is that possible?

Seems good...except the 3 month should only be $75, one month $25.CamSoze wrote:Shadow,
Yes, VISA extensions are available as 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, but prices vary depending where you get them. I usually take 6 months, so not so sure about the others, but prices ashould be 45 (1), 80 (3), 145 (6), 240 (12). And yes, I know I might be wrong about 1-3 months, maybe someone can clarify. Anyway, it doesn't work strickly as 25 for each month.

I have a guy who works out at the airport for a certain Ministry, got connected through a student... he gets me 12 months for $180. Our school also has another contact that uses the same department, at the same price.
Some ppl say it is all up to whether it is an E or B class visa, but actually it depends on which political party is backing the Ministry that issues it.
Recently some of the visas issued by FUNICIPEC controlled ministries have been getting cancelled at the airport, by CPP officials. Even this isnt reliably so though. I know one woman who went through in the morning at the airport, and got her 12month (just purchased) visa cancelled. Her sister, with the exact same visa, purchased together, went through in the afternoon, and wasnt even questioned.
Recently the Minister of employment sent his goons around to all the schools to check that all the foreigners had working visas (they always do this before Chinese New Year to get themselves some extra tea money for the holiday). Our visas stood up with no problem from that Ministry. It seems the only problems exist when leaving PP via the airport.
For me, Im happy to have the cheaper visa. I will always go and come via land borders, so it isnt an issue for me....
I also have a friend teaching privates to some top level generals staff in the ministry of interior. Whilst getting free joy flights in the generals new helicopter (ah, what a life!) he was offered some ridiculously low prices for his visa. Recently when he was going to the airport, he was worried about it getting cancelled, so the general had him driven with police escort to and through the airport to make sure he was 'looked after'. Mind you he is just a regular-joe-teacher, but lucky enough to be teaching 'the right people'.
What Im saying is a lot of it depends on Who You Know, and the longer you are here, the more people you will get to know.
(Of course the downfall in this is that the longer you are here, the more people you know..the more weddings you have to go to!!!)
