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.

They were applying for it, but there has been no reports of either country signing the MOU yet, only Japan.Alexandra wrote:It was reported in 2016 that the Chinese and Korean brothers can apply for 3 year multiple entry visas.

http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/n ... nch-sept-1“The multi-entry visa is being implemented from September 1 for international tourists and international businessmen, but the conditions of stay and payment fees will vary depending on the agreements between the government and each [other] country’s government,” Veasna said, adding that so far only Japan had finalised such an agreement, giving its citizens the option to apply for one-, two- and three-year visas.
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.

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?

Yes Mig, you can still apply for WPs after the deadline, but run the risk of paying late fees now.
In regards to the original topic...changes are coming, and sooner than I was originally led to believe. Immigration and Labour are working closely together and are going to be clamping down harder than ever. Expect an updated Prakas or sub-decree soon.
They really need to create a marriage/spousal/family visa for those that qualify but don't fit any of the other categories.

Do you know anyone that's successfully gotten Cambodian citizenship after being married for 3 years, as the law allows? (And without paying a substantial amount.)PSD_Kiwi wrote:They really need to create a marriage/spousal/family visa for those that qualify but don't fit any of the other categories.
Nope

I expected the hostess bar crackdown to happen before this. My target is under 12 months for that.

The hostess bar crackdown won't happen within twelve months. That area is of little interest to developers/investors. What I don't get about work permits is, what if someone arrives for a work contract in say, September or October? The employer still needs to apply for a work permit, right? They should break the cost of the work permit per day or something, otherwise it makes no sense (well, it makes sense to their pockets). Is it still possible to apply and receive a work permit if you apply that late? Will the worker be able to even get a visa while they're applying for the WP?

Exactly. Or at a land border for that matter. Cambodian based expats have had it easy so far. In Thailand, only 2 visa free entries allowed per calendar year for visa exempt nationals (exceptions are those entering under a bilateral treaty and ASEAN nationals). Expats have for many years needed to be on some sort of visa or extension of stay appropriate for their purpose of residence - student, marriage, retirement, non-B (business, work) etc. even endless back-to-back tourist visas are starting to be scrutinized.Zillah wrote:A valid concern. Malaysia tolerated it until, one day, they didn't. Unfortunately, that was roughly the time they stiffened the requirements for the Malaysia My Second Home retirement programme. The new requirements included proving the equivalent of roughly USD 4,000/month in pension income, in addition to the fixed deposit they'd always required.Londo wrote:It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if you're permitted indefinite visa runs.

Personally, I don't want to be standing at the Immigration desk in Phnom Penh after a visa run only to hear that no entry visa will be issued.
I can imagine Cambodia following suit, but it will take some time before Cambodia becomes anything like Thailand. Vietnam is where to look - for some time they haven't issued 6 or 12 months visas anymore (with some rare exceptions) the longest is generally 3 month multi entry. A couple of in-country extensions are allowed but then you have to do a visa run.
