You apply when you land in Cambodia. Make sure you get the business visa and not the tourist visa. You then have one month to extend it at any participating travel agent (which is most of them). You can extend it for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. If you haven't found a job within the first month I think you can only extend it for 1 or 3 months as you need a letter of employment to extend it for 6 or 12 months. That's how the rules used to be anyway. They may have changed.

I believe the visa is called an ordinary visa (e class) and should cost 35$ just to avoid any confusion.

I then had a letter (one I wrote up at home) confirming I will be seeking employment and looking to extend my visa by 6 months whilst I look, I took this to a visa / travel agent and paid them to extend for 6 months. The letter was printed and signed, not sure if it made a difference but that's what some internet blog advised and sure enough it was approved.

The extension is an EG extension.

This may have changed, the 6 month visa is also a multi entry
