Free Angkor Wat Pass...or Not?
Free Angkor Wat Pass...or Not?
Dear all,
Quick question...I have read of the possibility of a 'one-off' free Angkor Wat pass for foreigners who have lived here more than two years. Has anybody here used this oportunity? What are the actual requirements? I have lived here for more than ten years but am not a resident as such. Do I qualify...and how does one obtain such a pass (if eligible)?
Warm regards,
Crackers

Surely if you live somewhere you are a resident? Anyway all you need are consecutive visa extensions for 2 years. You send photos of them and a passport photo and a photo of the main page of your passport. Easy. I got mine within a few days of applying.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Free Angkor Wat Pass...or Not?
It is not a "one off", any foreigners who have resided in Cambodia for at least 2 years can apply for an unlimited visit 12 month pass, once that 12 months is up you can apply for another one.
Just applied for my second one 2 weeks ago (even though my first one hadn't even expired yet), very simple. Just need to upload a digital passport style picture, your passport bio page, and Visa Extensions of Stay covering the past 2 years. Applied in the morning, pass was issued a few hours later, you don't even need to print it off, just keep digital copy on your device, I printed a wallet size copy and laminated it just to be on the safe side.

That's cool. Wasn't sure if they were going to keep this going or it was a one off, post covid measure to get people to siem reap.PSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2023 5:55 pm It is not a "one off", any foreigners who have resided in Cambodia for at least 2 years can apply for an unlimited visit 12 month pass, once that 12 months is up you can apply for another one.

Can we assume that this is going to be a long term offer? Or should I start thinking about extending my first one too (I think it is valid until September)

For me it got processed in less than a week. The fun part was at Angkor Wat itself at the ticket checkpoints where I showed them my printed out pass.
"Oooh, special guest!!"
"Yeah, yeah, that's me, thank you"

My understanding is that this is permanent. After decades of lobbying.cautious colin wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 8:45 amThat's cool.
