achtung- new visa rule!

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

I think last month she announced you will need employment letter to extend an ordinary visa, and now the change is that employment letter plus work permit are required?

It may have been last month to give a little breathing time for some nationalities who may not have received their work permits.
Before it was wp and business cert. Change every few months now. :(
