Re:- work permits.
The work permit law covers all foreigners working in Cambodia, with the exception of diplomats, foreign government employees and domestic servants. Anyone who receives a salary should have a work permit. A small business owner living in Cambodia also needs a work permit.
As far as retirees receiving pensions, Cambodian law is unclear.
“If the expatriate has an E Visa before applying for a work permit, he will get it,” notes Mr. Puth, whose firm is part of Saint Blanquat & Associates. “As far as volunteers, they must ensure before coming to Cambodia, that their NGO has a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry to obtain a Visa B, which does not require a work permit.”
From now on at the departure area of Cambodia’s three airports, passport control is checking to verify that departing E Visa holders also have a work permit. Those who do not must pay a fine if they want to catch their flight. The outcome can depend on the relationship between passport control and the expat.
Now,this last paragraph is the one that worries me. It implies that if you have a E visa you need a work permit,even though you are not working!!!!
I will be flying out early September for 5 days,so will keep you informed.
