Really?
I got offered that yesterday.

Sadly I don’t have $60k kicking around but if I did I’d be up for that.

Sir, would you like to buy a bridge?

@newkidontheblock have you received your "Authorisation To Marry" letter from the MoI and your official Marriage Certificate issued by the Sangkat?

Plenty of good advice offered already, as stated there is no "Marriage/spousal/family" Visa category, and there is no exception in any of the Immigration Prakas' and sub-decrees for those legally married to obtain any visa type...BUT, in practice it is available, if you do not work in Cambodia but are legally married then you can obtain a 12 month EB EOS without the need to have a WP, the EOS will be stamped "Employment not permitted".

You need to be legally married in Cambodia and be in possession of the official Marriage Certificate and Authorisation to Marry letter issued by the MoI, along with other documents as already mentioned.

You do NOT need to use an agent, although for ease Call Kim is highly recommended. You can apply directly at the DoI, and if you're switched on you will only pay $170 -180 for the 12 month EB EOS.


Note: If you work, or intend to work in Cambodia, you still need to apply for the EB EOS the regular way with an official letter of employment, and obtain a WP.

Are you still drunk?

Have you been blacklisted for violating Khmer culture?

With that response, I would assume that YOU are an expert on visas.

Otherwise, I am NOT an expert, and so I ask.

You assume I am drunk because I don’t know the answer to that question?

If your significant other tells you something, you never believe them? Sad.

Khmer culture means following YOUR every desires? Does that mean YOU have the power to blacklist people from Khmer culture?

Sorry, god for offending you.

Selective quotation NKOTB, but you're forgiven.

I just seriously doubted you contacted Lucky about this, and if that's the case you just did some scaremongering. While the visa doesn't officially exist it's been in use for ages, if you provide the documents thatis. That's what Lucky would have told you - because there's a piece of the pie for them if you arrange it through them.

And if my 'significant other' (or her friend) tells me something about the visa situation in Cambodia I don't believe that, that's correct. Hell, sometimes I find it even hard to believe the DoI because they might give me another answer the next day. I'd rather (double)check it myself. The DoI told me this visa can not be arranged through them directly because of lack of prakas, but PSDkiwi was told another story.

I'm rather surprised you got yourself into a marriage without fully knowing about your options to actually stay with your wife in Cambodia.

Anyway, good luck obtaining the visa. You can apply one month before your current ordinary visa or EOS is due, assuming you've got the right documents.

so are you living in KOW and if so, what visa? ER?

I live here in the Kingdom and am on yearly EB visas. I work online and have a self employed work permit.

Water Festival dude...nothing will happen until Monday at the earliest. Currently Visa EOS's are taking anywhere from 5 -21 days, although for an extra $100 you can get same or next day fast tracking.
