Scary Confirmation of fears about work visa/work permit

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

However unlike these petty bullying issues this one is a real cash cow that the provincial fiefdoms will revel in. Again, I hope I'm wrong, but politics has been weird lately and I don't feel that requesting and sharing information is the same as conducting a fear campaign. This-suit yourself.
Fair comment. My thought is that if it was sanctioned, and if it was successful, it would have stormed the rest of the country as the latest cash cow... maybe it's just taking a while to mobilise. I imagine that if some fool gave immigration officials a list of expat names and home addresses in another khan, they would pull the same stunt, but I would have expected this to take more hold by now if it was going to be introduced across the Kingdom.

Honest question - worst case scenario, what would this cost an working expat initially, and then per year?

That may depend on how you define 'working expat'.

I'm a working expat, and it's not going to cost me any more next year than it has in the past. My employer pays for my Visa and Work Permit (as they should!). I pay taxes to the Cambodian Government.

As for, let's say, low level teachers in language factories, that may be a different kettle of fish. It will be interesting to see how many of those schools will be happy to cough up for the Work Permits.

The ONLY good thing about this, if/when they really start enforcing it widely, is it might scare off many new people in the potential work force who won't work here if their employer won't handle it all for them. :good:
