Visa Extension Costs: Any Updates?
Re: Visa Extension Costs: Any Updates?
I know what you're trying to say Jamie.
The initial VOA is still called an Ordinary Visa, it is the EB EOS that people are calling a Business visa. Up until Sept last year, the EOS for an E-type (Ordinary) visa was just called an E-type EOS, or EX.

Re: Visa Extension Costs: Any Updates?
It was called the Business Visa for years before they changed the name to Ordinary Visa. Since then they seem to use both and the terms have become interchangeable so it doesn't matter. It's always been an E-class visa (not to be confused with evisa online visas) but all those subclasses are new.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 11:36 pmits only recently been called a Business Visa thoughAndyKK wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 11:27 pmI think you have the wrong angle on this. Holding a EB visa is for the purposes it was meant for, people working or with business in the country.
The law of the WP was introduced in 1997 and revised in 200? and now again and enforced very soon. Before it was a loophole or grey area.
I have known people holding a WP for the past ten years.
Have the correct visa for the purpose of stay and no problems.
it wasnt long ago it was simply called an "Ordinary Visa"

Funnily enough, I know a guy who managed to get about 80% of his overstay fees (3-4 years worth) discounted by doing exactly this!

Not like its thousands of $$$
did u think it would never be enforced??
Cambodia is just getting in line with other countries nearby as to visa laws and more important RAISING MONEY from the easiest to raise money from,
the expats who cant complain, ( if they want to stay)
EXPECT a visa for married expats with Khmer's in the future to come out, who can choose to work ( obtain a wp) or not
And when do you think that's gonna happen? First they have to get rid of that idiotic law that says farangs over 50 can't get married to Khmer women in Cambodia.

Re: Visa Extension Costs: Any Updates?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. What about people who already have expired 1 year visas in their passports? When they say "first time" they mean first time ever, presumably. Still nothing has actually been cleared up in the slightest by it officially going official.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 11:13 pm im guessing you cant just do visa runs when your visa runs out, and starting fresh instead of renewing for a 2nd time,
something ill find out next year anyway

What they state they will do or what they say they want to do is a very different thing to them actually getting it done. I don't know how to make it any clearer.
How about:
Me want. Me no have skills/infratructure to do.
No can do.
Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.

I was meaning the racist/ ageist marraige laws, but that's interesting.siliconlife wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:43 amFunnily enough, I know a guy who managed to get about 80% of his overstay fees (3-4 years worth) discounted by doing exactly this!

I've met a few expats who've gone for the older model. Not a good idea in some ways. These third world countries are run on debt. The older the model the more debt. And guess who ends up paying it all off. It can take afew years of bits and pieces before full disclosure. The horror, the horror... Glad it seems to have worked out for your buddy.

You're missing the point I was trying to make!.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 11:27 amThe guy was trying to get an EG at the VOA counter at the airport. "No have" is actually the correct answer.Fourkinnel wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 10:00 am But then the problem is someone reporting they tried to get an EG and they were told "No have"
Ok, has anyone managed to get a EG extension of stay??? It's supposed to be General, for those not retired and NOT working. Not much use unless it's actually available!
And has anyone Recently, I mean in the last week or so got a ER? And at under 50years old??. Income or funds needed to be shown or not???

Re: Visa Extension Costs: Any Updates?
These are exactly the same questions I have. At this stage I plan to change to EG if possible when my EB runs out in December. At least I have a few months to see what comes out of this mess. If yours is due now/soon you could always get a 3 month EB (if you not planning on going anywhere in the meantime) just to wait and see how it pans out?Fourkinnel wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2017 10:01 amYou're missing the point I was trying to make!.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 11:27 amThe guy was trying to get an EG at the VOA counter at the airport.

Re: Visa Extension Costs: Any Updates?
I will admit that I just scanned through the above entries in this topic but here is the little bit I do know.
Today I received my retirement visa through LuckyLucky. She stated the minimum age is 55. Since I am between 55 and 60 I would guess this is probably correct. No type of retirement letter was needed. I have a friend who is 52 so I asked the girl how he can get a retirement visa. She said he needed "a letter" from the embassy stating he was retired. When asked it became obvious that the only thing she knew about this letter was that it needed to state the person is retired.
In the past I obtained business visas through a place in TTP. This time when I tried to get a retirement visa through them they said they didn't think I could go from business to retirement visa. They did not even want to try.

So in other words you pretty much had to shop around to get the best and easiest deal when it came to getting your retirement visa?KickingWithRedLabel wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2017 6:58 pm I will admit that I just scanned through the above entries in this topic but here is the little bit I do know.
