Just thinking about visa extensions in next month

Post by SiemReapRoddy »

Do you think there will be any knockback effect on someone trying to extend their ordinary visa to an EG 6 month visa?

Technically they will be looking for work so why would Cambodia not be stricter due to coronavirus?

Or will everything just be business as usual?

Thai banks don't even exchange currency because they think the coronavirus is on paper notes. The countries are taking things quite serious.

I'm guessing there will be a lot of expats who end up overstaying because of this, I wonder if they'll get amnesty.

I don't see any reason why Cambodia would not extend visas as before, but then stranger things have happened.

^ Because Cambodia. If you're from an infected country(other than China, the most infected country), then they'll be safest if you aren't here, regardless of the fact that you haven't been to your home country in a year. It doesn't make sense, but that seems to be how things are shaping up.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

But if you were on an E type visa, you were probably already here far past the 14 days of virus incubation.

Correct. Like I said, it doesn't make sense, but it's how things are shaping up.

Yes, of course, it's not always logical. But, hey, you never know!
