No more way to be expat in Cambodia, no more visa for non-retired and non-worker
Hello,
My EB visa expire in 3 weeks. I am less than 50 years old. I don't work in Cambodia (and sure, I will never do, because I get money from foreign investments).
I just called the biggest (I guess) travel agency, the closest of the immigration office... they just say me : you can go outside the country and come back to get 1+6 month with an E+EG visa, but after it's done. They say : EG, it's "one time" even if you cross the border, even by plane. Only "one time" in your whole life.
You all really cheat with a fake letter & stamp which expose you to big troubles for fraud in the future ?
Do you know similar countries which still have the wind in their sails ? (without racism, and where we can find western product in the capital, it would be good to start)
Thank you

It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it’s damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.

search Function … ER (Retirement) EOS (Extension of Stay) if under 55... easy-peasy.

Is this rhetorical?
Assuming not, no, many if not most of us have a valid reason to be here, the correct visa and EOS, taxed employment that is registered with the MoL, a leased property with a residence certificate, and a work permit. At least, the people I typically hang with do. Sorry if your experience is different.

It was rhetorical, but anyway, thank you for your interesting/precious answer StroppyChops

Not true. Do a visa run and get a new E+EG.
I've done it as have many others.

Maybe try another agent?
Several people have told me they got a 6 months EB extension without any documents. They all arranged it after the elections though. I had to renew mine before and had to jump through quite a few hoops.

I didn’t have to leave for my first EG EoS. They just gave me it when asked.
I’ve just popped back to NZ and the immigration in Cambodia thought they had struck a gold mine (I hadn’t left Cambodia since 2015). It took their big boss coming over and bollocking them before letting me pass through. I don’t actually know what they were rubbing their hands together over but my only guess was the fact I had transferred from an EB to an EG without leaving.

Thanks for all your testimonials.
So, they are clearing the country with a good pressure washer ? Just need to hold on waiting the storm to end ? Without that, who will rent yearly the new brand condominiums which grow everywhere in PP ?
