So if you work and/or own a business you should have an EB AND a WP. No question.AndyKK wrote:Regarding having the correct documents, paperwork such as business licence, and obviously EB EOS and work permit, a few years back we had (that is all westerners) running businesses had a visit from the immigration officers of Phnom Penh, also an officer whom I know from the works and labour department, in tow were also local police. The bar as never been has full. But it was all conducted very professional, owners or workers of business if they did not have everything in order had fines to pay, and back payments for holding the correct working visa but not holding a work permit, if working or not, people too had been given an official receipt of payments and fines, the ones whom did not comply are not working anymore. They, that is immigration spent about ten days in Koh Kong, also calling at the homes of many barangs to look at their passports and valid visas.
I could not believe this thread when I first saw it, I messaged Stevie C to see if it was true, he confirmed and really didn't know the answer why, but said it had been very costly experience to himself.
I know at the time I left Koh Kong already there seemed to be small change happening in the way of Chinese investment, and on a visit back at one time I had been told by two Khmer restaurant owners (but renting the properties) on the main street, with uncertainty they need to earn. They told me that their leases end in less then a year and would not be renewed to them. Chinese tenants have secured the new leases.
You can’t own a business and then claim you don’t work there so don’t need a WP. At some point you’ll have to do something to do with the business - buying stock, ringing suppliers, working the bar of short staffed etc.
If you don’t work (and don’t intend to but are under 55 and can’t get an ER) but have an EB and no WP then immigration don’t care. I was asked why I had an EB and I simply said I couldn’t get an ER. He asked if I worked and I said no. Not in six years. He says “If we catch you working we will fine you and maybe deport you. Ok?”

If you hold a EB and no work permit! How do you manage to get a EB EOS. Think about this, if you have had a EB for 6 years and no work permit, immigration can charge you back payment for 6 years. So it could end up like your saying, or back pay $600 plus fine if they wish.whatwat wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2019 3:38 pmSo if you work and/or own a business you should have an EB AND a WP.

No. You only get fined if you apply for a WP.AndyKK wrote:If you hold a EB and no work permit! How do you manage to get a EB EOS.

You’ll either get another EB or EG or a ER if your lucky.
No fines if you don’t actually want an EB.
And if any case it’d be cheaper to “lose” your passport.

Work Permit is not required as supporting documentation when applying for a 6 or 12 mth EB EOS (although that appears to be changing for EB renewals, but nothing official yet).AndyKK wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2019 5:33 pm

Immigration can not charge you back payment for not having a WP...but if you do eventually apply for a WP then the MoLVT can/will charge you retroactive fees for the years in country on any E-type Visa EOS without a WP.

Local Sangkat has no authority over Labor related issues...walking around selling pies legally would have required you to have a registered business (MoC) and Work Permit (MoLVT) and EB EOS (DoI). Doesn't really matter now though, as your pie hawking business is one of the professions foreigners are banned from.

Did you really say that.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
