What Visa is available for a female foreigner married to Khmer male
Scenario that has come up for an acquaintance.
A foreign woman is married to a Khmer male. They want to move to Cambodia, where he will work and she will be a housewife.
Looking through the recent literature on the new visa classifications, I can see that if a foreign woman follows a foreign male to Cambodia, then she can piggyback on his work permit by getting a letter from the husband's employer stating the employer will assume responsibility for the family.
But what happens if the husband is Khmer and doesn't need a work permit? What visa is available for the wife in this case? She's not going to work, and she's not retired.
Does anyone know?

Same as a foreign male who doesn't work but is married to a Cambodian woman...EB EOS, or ER if you meet the retirement requirements.

Oh, and by the way, Cambodians are technically required to have WP's also

Yes, I know foreign women who are married to Cambodian men. They are treated the exact same way as any other foreigner, in that they need visas, extensions of stays, and pay the foreign rate for work permits. Officially a person who has resided here for a certain amount of years and is literate in Khmer should be able to apply for citizenship, but cases of this actually happening outside of highly favored or extremely rich individuals are rare.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

She will have the same visa options as any foreigner who wants to live in Cambodia. Being female will not get her any extra options that a man married to a Khmer wouldn't also have.

Hi,
What is "EB", "EOS" and "ER" visa type?
Can you advise where or which department to apply for such visa? Are they renew annually? how much does it cost?
I am newly-wed moving to Cambodia.
Thank you.

So. You managed to miss every other Visa related post to bring up this one which is 12 months old and ask your mundane question. [Mod edit: More insults deleted.]
