visa

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Yeah,

Arrive on a tourist visa, and pay $500 to change into a 1 year business visa as of approx 48 hours ago

If willing to start a company, if necessary, will it pay you to do so, can you cover all the costs and also employ people? If not don't think of it and retire, or wait a little until the visa situation is sorted out.

You can convert a tourist visa now? Or is it still the "ordinary visa"? I'm not familiar with whatever happened 48 hours ago.

With effect yesterday - The DoI have now made it official that T-type (Tourist) Visas and e-Visas (electronic online Tourist Visa) can legally be converted to an E-type EOS ie. EB (Business), ER (Retirement)...which means that there should be a standard conversion fee across the board when using an agency, most agents are charging $150 for the conversion fee on top of their standard EOS fee.

Whether this is a temporary or permanent move is not yet known, however I suspect it is just gonna be temporary until the issuing of VOA's is reinstated.

PSD-Kiwi is always a solid and reliable source of info regarding everything visa related and I’m sure he’ll oblige you with proof but, as I said, he’s pretty much been spot on over the years.
