Unlikely that owning an apartment will be enough to qualify you for an E-type Visa from most Embassies.

However, the criteria being applied for E-type Visas varies from Embassy to Embassy, so contact your nearest Cambodian Embassy to confirm what their criteria is. Most require applicants to have employment or business interests and a letter of invitation, but some are issuing them with no supporting documentation whatsoever.

Which country are you in?

You cannot apply for an EB from an Embassy, the EB is the Business Extension of Stay category of the E-type (Ordinary) Visa. Extensions of Stay can only be applied for once you have entered Cambodia.

If they are referring to you attempting to apply for an EB EOS once in Cambodia, they are correct. Once you have been issued an ER (Retirement) EOS, the DoI will not issue you any other E-type Visa EOS, as you have been issued an ER on the basis that you are legitimately retired therefore are not eligible for any other category of Extension.

The only way to get an EB EOS if you have had previously been issued ER EOS's in your passport, is to get a new passport, enter Cambodia on a fresh E-type Visa and then apply for an EB EOS.

Even with a new passport, Cambodian immigration would not be able to identify from their records (I think they have computers) that someone had already been issued an ER? So a new passport gives you a clean slate of no previous visas? Just asking because I know PSD is correct 99.9% of the time on these issues.
