Re: EB visa requirement

Ok, a note on the $500 figure, this was an example of a low ball amount to demonstrate a point about purchasing power parity. However, I wouldn't spend much more if I didn't have to. This is Cambodia, not Manhattan. I think many expats have been price gouged into submission to where they feel the ne...

Re: EB visa requirement

What would the benefit to Cambodia be of you living here? None? Is bringing in external income and spending it on rent - and elsewhere in the local economy - not a contribution? Especially when you're (mostly) being charged Barang prices... He just said he doesn't earn a lot. Not enough to spend 10...

Re: EB visa requirement

I think I like the Vietnam program better -- you can just buy the business letter and don't need to actually work for the company. Wasn't the draw all along to Cambodia the easy, cheap 1 year Business visa, no questions asked? I wonder how many have left because of the changes, or are planning to le...

Re: EB visa requirement

Based on the letter/WP requirements it seems that Cambodia isn't nearly as easy as it was a few years ago. I would say Vietnam's 1 year business visa is easier to obtain (just pay for a letter with no actual job required). I guess in Cambodia with about $1000 in the bank and another $1000 or so in f...

EB visa requirement

What is your recent experience with EB visas? Some sources like movetocambodia.com say any length EB visa requires a letter of employment. Another site states three month EB visas are easier than 6 or 12: "Three-month EB visas for Cambodia can be obtained without a work permit/employment card, ...
