(Another) visa question
(Another) visa question
I will be arriving in Cambodia by air on a Thursday and will be leaving a few days later on Sunday for a short visit to Vietnam. I will then be returning to Cambodia by land and plan to stay long-term to look for work (but want multiple entry).
What kind of visa should I get when I first arrive? When I return to look for work?
My concern is that if I enter initially on a tourist visa, I won't later qualify for an ordinary e visa on my second visit (from what I've read). If I enter initially on an ordinary E class visa, I won't have time to apply for an EG visa.
Can anyone confirm or suggest the best way to go about this?

Re: (Another) visa question
1st entry ; regular tourist visa $30
2nd entry; Ordinary visa $35 ..which can be extended to a 6 month EG extension..looking for work
or if ur lucky and get a job in 30 days a EB extension for 1 year

^that
You wont get a multi entry visa when you enter.
<edit>
If you want multiple entry, make sure you get the 6 Month extension, up to three months is single entry. Goes for EG (looking for work) and EB (business) ext.

Re: (Another) visa question
As above, get a Tourist Visa first time, then an Ordinary Visa second time, and get a 6mo EG extension (EOS) on that while you look for work - it's multiple entry.

Re: (Another) visa question
Is this a cyclic ‘mess with the foreigner’, or ‘its approaching KNY need more tea money’ thing?
I have a new E visa as my previous extension would expire part way through this visit.
I’ve just been to a previously recommended agent, to be told that I now need a reference letter for the 6month multi entry extension.
The reference letter would be from my employer. (I’m not employed here)
They are offering to provide the reference letter for $75. Clearly, the letter would be a fabrication demonstrating false employment; sounds crooked and risky in equal measure.
Before I head over to the DofI, is this the norm? The last extension was straight forward. This one effectively increases the cost by 50%.
Cheers in advance

Re: (Another) visa question
Sadly no. It was AtoZ
Re: (Another) visa question
Yikes, thanks for the heads up.
Did you also happen to hear the business name of this agent?
Re: (Another) visa question
As you don't work then you should be applying for the 6 month EG EOS, which requires no supporting documentation apart from a letter from you explaining why you require this extension, most agents will do this on your behalf for free, you just need to thumbprint it.Freightdog wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 9:34 am Is this a cyclic ‘mess with the foreigner’, or ‘its approaching KNY need more tea money’ thing?

The reference letter from an employer is required for 6 and 12 mths EB EOS's.
Go.to.a different agent.

Re: (Another) visa question
This is exactly what I had last time, through the same agent. I explained this to the same person that I dealt with last time, but she said this is ‘new procedure’. Maybe it’s the heat from the lack of cooling due blackouts that’s getting to her. I might try again later as AtoZ have been a popular recommendation up until now.PSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 10:40 amAs you don't work then you should be applying for the 6 month EG EOS, which requires no supporting documentation apart from a letter from you explaining why you require this extension, most agents will do this on your behalf for free, you just need to thumbprint it.Freightdog wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 9:34 am Is this a cyclic ‘mess with the foreigner’, or ‘its approaching KNY need more tea money’ thing?
