No of foreigners working in Cambodia is 160k (or 176k)
Number of foreigners who don’t have a WP is over 100k.
I read that as perhaps within the 100k we have people who
- are working, should have WP but don’t
- are working, don’t need WP and don’t have one
- aren’t working and don’t think they need a work permit, but crap themselves every time the police stop at their house
- are working, want a WP but have no idea how to do it (freelance)
I reckon they just don’t have a clue how many of the 100k are actually required to have a WP.
Yesterday another ministry claimed about 160.000 foreigners are working in Cambodia and might be in need of a work permit.
I believe those two numbers (176k staying, 160k working) from two different government institutions do not match.
Foreigners working in Cambodia I would assume to be long term residents
Foreigners in Cambodia includes short term visitors.
Its futile trying to second guess them. One could even be using old data.
