My first solo visa run

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

You can obtain the ER (Retirement) EOS at any age if you can justify and can provide the relevant supporting documentation and proof of sufficient funds. The youngest person I know to have obtained one is in his mid-twenties.

If aged 55+ and applied for via an agent, then you do not need to supply any supporting documentation or proof of funds...if aged 55+ and apply directly at the DoI Visa office then you need to provide proof of funds and supporting documentation.

Thanks very much for this, I’ll go and see an agent tomorrow.

Next time pop up to O'smach border. Not too far away and a quiet easy border.

Leave Cambodia, enter Thailand, walk back, stay the night at the Casino (in Cambodia, but technically in no mans land - no one checks anything).

In the morning walk back to Thai Immigration, leave Thailand, enter Cambodia and catch a ride back to SR.

I have crossed at 7 different border crossings, '(5 of them with á Cambodian registered bike), Poipet is the worst, Osmach and Pailin are the best. Kho Kong is not bad either'- I cross there the most, but too far from SR.

Interesting you posted on this thread you were packing some work - just in case!!!

And I do believe you were advertising for staff.

What jurisdiction is your business registered then Rozzie?

Not that it matters... Just wondering...

If you do the work while you are in Cambodia you should be paying Cambodian taxes, regardless of where you are paid

According to you, or according to the law?

I have often advertised on behalf of other people though - I do a lot of business mentoring and often help with marketing.

That’s right. I can connect you with the proper people so you can settle your taxes monthly and come up with a settlement plan for all those past due taxes. I’ll need you business records

Will message you tomorrow in this regards, I’m no longer providing these services in Cambodia but still have contacts that can assist for a nominal fee.
