Urgent visa run to Thailand!!!!!

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Why do you say that? If you are a newbie in Asia all this stuff can be confusing and there is a shedload of conflicting advice usually on the internet? Not all uk visitirs go via Thailand, so its quite possible he doesnt know about Thai visa rules

'I' can't be bothered to invest too much energy into your comment (indefinitely), but you sir are synical and most likely very jaded. I suggest you change your lifestyle, you're wildly negative.

I had someone lying to me about the visa run and luckily for ME, (some) of the CEO crew will have your back and out you on the right path.

We all have to start somewhere buddy, big shout out to the supporters you've taken a LOT of stress off my mind.


P. S. Reminder everyone, be kind, ALWAYS pay it forward....... And be happy - HappyChappy

Happy chappy you was not exactly clear from the start of your post, that I would say was misleading. So what of the visa, what visa is required for volunteers doing unpaid work?

AFAIK work is work and requires an e visa and work permit whether it is voluntary or paid unless arranged as part of sponsored visit ("pay to volunteer") programme.
E vis a and work permit is required if you work in Cambodia, even if you are paid and pay taxes abroad, somnething digital nomads ignore. i believ thailand has a special scheme for digital nomads who work in thailand but get paid elsewhere, for example if you run a web design service in London and pay uk taxes but just happen to park your but in Thailand. thinks its quite expensive though. In europe some countries do the same. You can pay a fixed mount of tax instead of the normal calculations but it is not cheap.

Thing is their, that Thailand has a tax agreement. So basically for digital nomads you could in effect take the lesser tax amount, but at least you would not suffer the double tax.

You do not get double taxed in Cambodia if you are a brit either. I asked at both tax offices. HMRC say that there is no official tax treaty with Cambodia but if you can show you paid tax here on earnings in Cambodia they will not double tax you. Cambodian tax office said pretty much the same thing but said that applies to all foreigners. They only tax you on income generated in cambodia. Cambodian citizens, however, are supposed to be taxed on all their worldwide income

Yes this is so, I think at the moment the only official tax treaty is with Singapore, what was more of a concern, were pensions at one time. Has you had mentioned before about digital nomads I remember meeting 3 in Thailand (subcontracting the same company has I was). But they kept on moving in them old days, now it is all a little different.
