You cannot apply for an EB from an Embassy, the EB is the Business Extension of Stay category of the E-type (Ordinary) Visa. Extensions of Stay can only be applied for once you have entered Cambodia.

If they are referring to you attempting to apply for an EB EOS once in Cambodia, they are correct. Once you have been issued an ER (Retirement) EOS, the DoI will not issue you any other E-type Visa EOS, as you have been issued an ER on the basis that you are legitimately retired therefore are not eligible for any other category of Extension.

The only way to get an EB EOS if you have had previously been issued ER EOS's in your passport, is to get a new passport, enter Cambodia on a fresh E-type Visa and then apply for an EB EOS.

I think most of the posters on here are under 55. I'm not sure how relevant that is anyway, what you do and how good you are at it are more important.

It's relevant in China because you can't work over 55. He may be assuming that the same thing applies here.

Or maybe wife-hunting, not sure if that old law still applies,

If I own an apartment in PP, will they give me a visa? Would like to come to Cambodia by the end of the year.

Unlikely that owning an apartment will be enough to qualify you for an E-type Visa from most Embassies.

However, the criteria being applied for E-type Visas varies from Embassy to Embassy, so contact your nearest Cambodian Embassy to confirm what their criteria is. Most require applicants to have employment or business interests and a letter of invitation, but some are issuing them with no supporting documentation whatsoever.

Which country are you in?

Of course that is very wishful thinking and have no links to back it up

Case numbers are rising in almost every country, some quite sharply. I’m thinking maybe around Easter they’ll start letting in people who have a vaccination certificate.
