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.

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.

There are a couple of things that require it, like business registration in your own name. Otherwise, yeah, ignore it for as long as you can.

My business licence is due for renewal this month, so not long to ignore it.

Have you updated your registration to the new online system? You may not need it for an established business. I'd be keen to hear how you get on with a renewal, though - can you post after the event, please?

I talked to my landlord, who is also a high rank police officer. I asked him if he could possibly sort out this new document. His reply was to put the business in my lady's name and get myself a retirement visa. He recommended that would save trouble and expense.
I am not one for giving up too easy.

Went to the sangkat yesterday, and was told to get photocopy's of documents needed and take them today.
I arrived at the sangkat this morning to find it was closed. Cambodia now never surprises me.
