Alternatively I guess Cambodia has the potential (albeit a hassle) of living on tourist visas, extended every 1 month and doing visa runs every 2 months. Is that feasible?

Visa run every 7 months: Get an Ordinary visa on arrival plus a 6mo EG EOS. But- only as long as this is possible. They could well stop this at any time, but for now it seems possible.

Here' s my situation: I work online and wanted to stay in Cambodia 1 year or more. So, 2 years ago, I know you could just fly there, pay for a 1 year Business Visa and that's it. Then all the changes. So basically, there is no way to just stay there and do your own thing anymore? You'd have to work, be a student, be of retirement age, or perhaps start your own business which if I'm correct costs thousands and not sure if you actually have to run a business or if it can just exist on paper. So no business visa because I never planned on working for a Cambodian company right?

The first line you say you work. So yes if you work and live here you should set up a company and pay taxes like normal people.

I already pay taxes to another country, but if it makes you happy, send me a Paypal invoice and I will send you some nominal tax fee -- keep the invoice reasonable, I don't make that much to begin with.

As I understand it, you don't need to spend thousands and set up a company. You can register yourself as a self employed sole trader. (That has been covered on the main visa thread).

You pay tax in a country you don't actually live? Join the club, I also pay tax in 2 countries. VERY easy to avoid if you want. I just want to keep my benefits in my home country but have no problem also paying taxes in the country I actually spend most of my time in. What would the benefit to Cambodia be of you living here? None?

Is bringing in external income and spending it on rent - and elsewhere in the local economy - not a contribution? Especially when you're (mostly) being charged Barang prices...

He just said he doesn't earn a lot. Not enough to spend 10% of his income on tax. So stay away if you can't contribute. You think his 150$ in monthly rent is gonna make a difference? A tourist spends more in a day. And good luck in finding a place with lower taxes if that's the only reason why you're interested in Cambodia.

you have just returned from a visa run due to the inability to get an eos on B visa without WP, right timmy?

it seems PP and regional centers operate from completely different rules, SV and Kampot seem to have a lesser requirement and more susceptible to moderate expediting fees and favors.

there have been so many changes this year alone, and so little consistency that it is difficult to know what it will be next week.
americans can get a multi entry one year visa now to vietnam for abt $500 iirc, and many are moving there from SV to Vung Tau.

I think I like the Vietnam program better -- you can just buy the business letter and don't need to actually work for the company.

Wasn't the draw all along to Cambodia the easy, cheap 1 year Business visa, no questions asked? I wonder how many have left because of the changes, or are planning to leave. I'm guessing like 20 to 30% of the expat community. I mean, Vietnam and India are just two countries in the continent that offer much easier visa schemes.

That has always been a puzzling answer? I spend my money here! I think to myself if you live here where else are you going to spend it?
Regarding tax if your a resident, your also liable to pay on your overseas income too. So regards to the other poster whom works online his overall income is subject to Cambodian tax law. If none resident tax at 20% on earnings in Cambodia.
Posted the new tax book on another thread.
