Hi!
Going to Cambodia in a few weeks for a two week vacation (first visit ever). Is it Ok to just board the
flight to PP and then you get some form to fill in during the flight and then You pay at the immigration
counter and You get in? Or any tips for a first time visitor? I have got $300 in small notes incl $1 notes
to pay since I read that a common trick is "to have no change". It will be me, my wife and our toddler
so I guess 3x$30 for 1-month single entry tourist visas? Our passports are valid for more than 6 months
after leaving Cambodia and we are all EU citizens.
Anything I've forgot? I will have a hotel booking for the first nights if that is requested at immigration.
Is there any benefit of applying for the eVisa or is it just as easy to get a visa at the airport?
Cambodia Visas
^ Spot on. Just get your VOA, e-Visa (electronic T-type) is more expensive than getting a T-type VOA, the only benefits are that you will not have an entire passport page taken up by a full page visa and you won't have to wait in line to receive the VOA.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Bring some passport photos, they'll want one at immigration. They don't have to be passport quality, you can just get a whole tiled sheet of passport-style photos printed and cut them out. You might more of them for other stuff too, like later visa extensions. They will often let you pay if you don't have any, but I've heard this charge has gone up from $1-$3 to as high as $10, so just bring some.Dahon wrote:

I don't think that's an issue here, it can be in Thailand but you can just fill in the name of any hotel.I will have a hotel booking for the first nights if that is requested at immigration.

Do you need directions from your house to your home airport?

I posted this question in the facebook but thought to try my luck here as well: my last year's 12 month visa extension was marked as "single entry", which has never been the case before. I wonder if there is an option on the form to choose single or multiple entry and the agent has gone and ticked the "single" one without asking me? Or what other reasons could there be? I don't intend to go out of the country but sometimes things happen outside my control, like having to go to my mother's funeral (my father's could be soon) or a hospital visit etc: I certainly don't want to pay for another 12 month extension if the current visa has still months left on it!

Hello and Greeting all
I have read and re read this thread and I cannot really find the answer to what kind of Visa class would someone be under if they worked online and wanted to stay for a long term , say a year at most ? Really self employed person who worked online.
Many Thanks
RS

Get E Visa (1 month)
- extend with EG "looking for work" (6 months)
Hope they have sorted out the rules by then for people who work online
Yep, rules have changed significantly. Great initiative by the DoI to get rid of all the latte sipping hipster digital nomads and bottom feeders

Thanks for the replies . So it seems that its a grey area of the unknown. Also I guess it would be impossible for them to actually find out one of these digital nomads was holidaying or working within the country.
Maybe I will contact the consulate here in Australia and see if they have any clue as to what class you fall under. I guess since working for ones self that they can register a business as well there if required.
Also a tuff one if your traveling about seeing the country with a little bit of work in-between.
Cheers

If you want a WP/visa as a digital nomad then accept to pay tax on your income here. Can’t have it both ways.
pew, pew, pew, pew!

That's not really a tough one, because no country in the world will care if you do some work online on your holiday -- most travelers are checking work emails, etc.russianspy wrote: Also a tuff one if your traveling about seeing the country with a little bit of work in-between.
What you're really asking is that you'd like to live here for a year. You can't do that in the U.S. if you're not an American, can't do it in Europe, and actually can only do it in a few places in the world. Cambodia has always drawn a number of people here because of the easy visa situation, which is still very easy. I'm sympathetic that you want to be here for a year (or more), and make a living online, and it would certainly be nice and convenient if that's possible. But it's not a tricky situation to see that if you are here on a 30 day, 3 month, or 6 month permit, and work online, you're fine.
If you want to be here, then come and get the 6 month extension of stay on the 30 day visa as mentioned. You can then do visa runs after that, decide to register a company, or any of the many other options.

Thanks for the replies .
Its not that I need to the make a living online whilst there . Its more that to relieve the boredom during rest time between bike riding trips there would be the opportunity to work. I don't really understand what a " Visa Run" is ? if it is as simple as leaving the country and re application before enter that works in perfectly with one of the rides I want to do into Vietnam. I guess its just a matter of pre planning and organising the dates correctly. I think a year is sufficient to cover what I want to do and actually have a holiday for the first time in six years .
Regarding the Tax would anybody know if there is a interlinking payment option much like the UK has with Australia where you can pay you tax in Cambodia and it is also classified in Australia. Here there are limits lol but basically all internationals don't really pay any tax whilst here apart from the GST and PAY tax. Also is there any information on tax brackets etc in Cambodia ?
Thanks Again
