But if you're willing to make a donation for the 'fill up the parking lot with SUV's' program at the DoI they will process your application in one or three working days.
I proudly paid the parking lot donation fund. Had only 3 days to get the EOS. Got it in 1. With 2 days to relax and not worry about Khmer bureaucracy screwing up plans. Typhoons however, can’t be bribed and do screw up plans.

I've got a retirement visa and returning to Cambodia with only 4 days left on the visa, I intend to go to travel office first thing to renew my retirement visa
Will I have any problems at the airport coming in with only 4 days left on the visa?

Nope, you won't have any problems as long as it is either a 6 or 12 month multiple entry ER EOS. But make sure you apply for a new EOS immediately...be sure to keep a copy of your passport and EOS, as applications are taking on average 10+ days to process...will be longer now due to Pchum Ben.


If you only have a single entry 1 or 3 month ER EOS, then you will need to start fresh with a new E-type VOA.

Thanks for the info it's a one year retirement visa so multiple entry, and yes as soon as I arrive will go get visa , was thinking of just crossing road straight from airport and doing it at integration or using passport to book into hotel somewhere and getting travel agent in St 172 to do it , as most hotels need passport
Need catch up for that beer maybe when Rugby on I'm back 8th November
