Work Permit Possession?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Work books are no longer issued, the MoLVT has done away with these. Only permits now.

Staff at the MoLVT, confirmed by a guy I know is the head of HR for one of the largest employers of foreigners in Cambodia.

Amazing! One call from the mother in law to the village big man (whom she knows) and everything is forgotten. He called the local cops and apparently now all I need is the visa I already have.....love Cambodia!
