And is it fact that when this expires one has to leave the country but can return and do this process again repeatedly.
Seems the rules changing every week and no official notice in any language for us, even the travel places don't know what's next! .

My EOS is due end of December and I'm gonna give EG a crack. Hopefully someone else will have got one by then but if not I'll post the details.

If you want to look for work then you need an EB visa.
EG visa. The EG visa is intended for those searching for employment, and can last 1, 3, or 6 months. At the time of writing, the employment requirements are not strictly enforced for the EB visa, so the EG visa is redundant, but if in the future the requirements for the Cambodia EB visa become more strict, the EG visa will be useful for new expats looking for a job.

Apparently new rules came in to effect yesterday (2nd October).

No supporting documentation required for EG. After 12 mth EG EOS you need to apply for the EOS relevant to your situation ie. EB,ER... or leave the country. Will you be able to get another EG EOS? The sub-decree is not clear on this, as with everything else.

No idea, What's an EG?
For people who aren't working but are (supposedly) looking for work.

So a little like being on Job seekers, or on the dole without payment. It's amazing how people will find loopholes in the law.

I saw a link to a news story at it implies that you can only get a max six month EG.

It's not really a loophole if you're neither retired nor working is it? Why should I need an EB and WP? I'm self funded.

That quote is very truthful. Like many in this situation. Being self funded sums up 99% of westerners in Cambodia. So on that note holding a EG visa would the self funded people be actively looking for employment? Or would the visa be mistreated? Self funded, would that fall in the category of a tourist?

Tourists don't need a 6 or 12 month visa though. I guess they want to clamp down on drop outs and junkie bums so this is the first step to tightening up on that... so I'd guess the EG will probably not last long if people start taking it up in big numbers.

We are in sensible agreement upon some aspects of the visas. Like I did say most are self funded even when working. So no Visa for someone outright using their own monies! What is the alternative at this time or future, Citizenship would be accepted and line the appropriate pockets.

Citizenship is out of reach for most if not 99.9% of expats.
I've heard costs of 20k - 100k plus you need contacts. As in a few down from HE.
