Can I get a business visa on arrival?

Post by OrientInvestor »

I have all the documentation (company invitation letter, company tax document, form etc) but my flight is on the 28th and I don’t have enough time to send it all to the embassy in Berlin and get it back on time to my country for my flight.

Is it possible to use the documentation I have and apply for business visa at the airport upon my arrival?

Should I just in case also make a e-tourist visa?

My understanding (but experts here will know better) is you can get visa on arrival pay $35 and check the box for ordinary visa don’t choose the $30 tourist visa on arrival.
Then you can extend it indefinitely.

If you enter on the electronic evisa you can only extend it once for 30 more days.

@OrientInvestor , you heard wrong, the issuing of E-type (Ordinary) Visas (often incorrectly referred to as Business Visas) was never scrapped. The issuing of ALL Visas on Arrival was suspended for 2 years, but you could still apply for an E-type Visa from a Cambodian Embassy/Consulate.

With effect 17th March 2022, the issuing of ALL Visas on Arrival was reinstated.

Just tick the Ordinary Visa box on the Immigration Card to obtain the Visa on Arrival, $35, valid for 1 month, no supporting documentation required.

Then prior to your Visa expiring, you need to apply for the EB (Business) Extension of Stay, easiest way to this is via a Visa agency, a 12 mth EB EOS will cost you $170 - 300, depending on the agency and/or location. Business/employment related supporting documentation is required, as is a screenshot of your details from your landlords FPCS account.

Thanks that’s a great news will do that. I hope airlines in Europe won’t make issues if I don’t have a visa ready during boarding.

@OrientInvestor it's been a month, most airlines should be up-to-date, although some people have reported having issues with check-in staff with some airlines still.

I advise you to carry copies of the official notices
