Official changes to 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.

Thanks, that's what I'm concerned about. My landlady and her family are very nice, I've known them about 5 years and have been to quite a few of their celebrations. However if it's not worth their while paying some (maybe backdated) extra tax I could understand if they decided to renegotiate or terminate the agreement.

We had some ministry officials around checking all our passports/visas/ work permits today. We were asked to supply residency certificates earlier in the year to comply with some new (or previously unenforced) directive. This time they said all foreigners will need a residency certificate for our new permits. I'm not sure how easy it is to get one, if anyone knows I'd be interested. I know you can get it from the sangkat but I don't know if I'm registered with them.

Is this the same has a rent agreement? Problem is it is wrote in Khmer, I myself would not be able to read it.

The "Stay Permit" is actually your current, valid visa EOS, not your Certificate of Residency (which you also need to submit with your app).

AndyKK, the certificate of residence is not the same as your rent agreement/lease. I have a sample copy I will try loading when I have time.

This thread explains how to get your residency cert, it is very simple, I've done it for my last 3 apartments each Sangkat charged me a different rate, max I paid was $20

I (genuinely) don't like to be a nit-picky bastard, but that document needs a photo of your smiling mug on it to be valid - surprised you got one without it.

Not the same, Kiwi's information is better than mine.

I understand. It's just one more paper to obtain. It's getting to be a pain dealing with the Khmers in their officers. Most of all they don't know why you are there in the first place. :(

The cost at the sangkat for the document (above) is very fluid, depending on how barang you look. Ask your landlord to sort it out.

Hmmmm, perhaps a sideways approach to the whole thing is best?
