What is the best long stay visa for Chinese wife

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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Yes, but I can't confirm whether they recognize the marriage if it was in a 3rd country. You need to apply for recognition at the MoFAIC, if they authorize it then you'll be issued s letter of authorisation to present to your Sangkat who will then issue an official Cambodian marriage certificate.
I got a feeling I read somewhere that the marriage restrictions only applied to Foreign men marrying Cambodian girls. it may be far easier tor Cambodian men marrying foreign girls. Best ask MOFA

@pczz...although you're straying off topic, I'll reply to your post

Age and income restrictions are for foreign males marrying Cambodian women...however, recent reports indicate that foreign women marrying Cambodian men must also meet the $2500 monthly income requirement even though there is no sub-decree to that effect.

Other first hand reports also indicate that the Cambodian partner can sign a waiver which allows the foreign partner to marry even if they don't meet the income requirement.
