NEW ! Information on Work Permits.

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I would love to get a work permit but the company I work for are not registered so online I am stuck. This is good info but not for the gullible suckers who paid all the back pay over the last few years 😉

Are we absolutely sure that it states all back fees?
eg say I had 5 years worth of business visas - would that mean I would just need to pay for this years work permit, medical and working visa?
They would surely be losing a lot if that were indeed the case.
5 x 100 work permit back duty + 5 x 25 medical and the fine of 5 x 100.

I've already had to pay back fines... Anyways, if I no longer have an employer in Cambodia, am I liable for a fine or something? Not unless I start working for a registered company again, correct?

Let us know how you get on when you're caught working illegally.

I'm the same, 7 years of business visas but not one day working in the KoW. I'd get a work permit just to be in compliance of what ever grey area law.

I'm in the same boat as you Peck, have even tried getting a WP the last few years to avoid any issues, but without a business license or employer you can't get one anymore unfortunately.

Ya PSD, I don't foresee me working in the KoW but you never know. Plus if they do ever get around to visa changes, which have been talked about for years, we might be stuck in a technicality of having to pay.
