EB visa
Here's the situation (I'll try to make this succinct). An individual enters Cambodia with an Ordinary visa and an EoS for one year. The visa ID is "EI ###########. Then when that expires extends for three months. The three month extension has "EB" stamped underneath the "EI ########". I know that is a business visa and it is my understanding that you must have a work permit if you have a business visa (emphasis on "my understanding"; there is so much contradictory information about this from individuals and government websites). If the person leaves during the three month extension, will there be any problems departing the country with no proof of the WP?

I saw a post on Facebook where somebody said that when you leave the country with an EB EoS and you don't have a WP you will be fined 10 USD from the starting date of the EB. Anybody with any info about that? First hand, preferably; Facebook seems to be full of "I heard this" or "somebody had something done to them".
Never happened to me or others I know in the same boat, recent experience as I fly in and out regularly.johntpartee wrote:I saw a post on Facebook where somebody said that when you leave the country with an EB EoS and you don't have a WP you will be fined 10 USD from the starting date of the EB.

I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Thank you; I figured as much. If you're on Facebook, go to the "Cambodia Visa and Work Permits" forum. Some pretty amusing stories; most of them sound bogus.
There are reports of people being fined $10 per day from the WP application deadline date, for not having a valid WP (if working), but not linked to visas.

Yeah, I've heard that as well. But I've also seen reports that say that if you have the EB EoS you must have a work permit (even if you're not working). Sounds dodgy.
Yea, the wording of the laws in Cambodia are too vague and most are outdated. One of the Prakas' ( Immigration or labor, will look it up later, from 1997 iirc), states that holders of a Business Visa ( there is no business visa anymore, only Business EOS) must be in possession of a valid WP.

And what if the bearer of the EB EoS is departing and can't pay the penalty? What are they gonna do? Make you stay? Throw you in jail?
Immigration and Labour departments are separate departments, like I said I fly in and out regularly on a an EB EOS and have never once been asked about a WP or anything to do with working in Cambodia.johntpartee wrote:And what if the bearer of the EB EoS is departing and can't pay the penalty?

Yeah, you're the only person I've encountered with first-hand experience; all of the people who say the sky is falling are "hearing about such-and-such and this'n'that". Appreciate the input.
