RE: Visa Situation Now
RE: Visa Situation Now
Sorry for posting this here, but I don't see anything recent from looking over the board. I got out of the U.S. military in June of this year and have been staying on as a consultant hoping for a door opening in Indochina. I am currently in Saudi Arabia and would like to make a long-term move to Cambodia when it reopens its borders in next month. Attempting to apply for an electronic E visa from the Cambodian website will not allow you the option to apply for anything other than the eT visa if you are not from China (and, oddly enough, Taiwan). Are there any other options for getting an E-Business visa to Cambodia these days? Can you change an eT visa into a long-term stay visa in-country? Are there any other venues by which to apply from outside the country for long-term stay visas? Attempts to contact the Cambodian embassy in Egypt have resulted in them telling me to apply online since I am not in Egypt.
Thanks to anyone who can give some guidance and direction in regard to this matter.

Or come on a T-visa, get one extension, hope the rules will be more relaxed in two months time and do a visa run then.
Currently visa runs are not really an option due to lack of flights and quarantine.

Re: RE: Visa Situation Now
Is it true that if coming from Thailand, you don't have to quarantine in Cambodia?
Re: RE: Visa Situation Now
No, not yet. The PM said that in a conversation on Friday night. Nothing from that conversation has been made official yet, the headline of the VOD article is misleading.
It is unlikely they will introduce quarantine free arrival for travellers from Thailand only, it makes no sense, a country where COVID rates are ridiculously high and vaxx rates are low, to enter quarantine free but make everyone else arriving from other countries still quarantine. (But hey, stranger decisions have been made, TIC)
We are likely to see further changes soon. But please don't put any faith into articles like the one that "announced" this news, wait until there is an official announcement and directive.
Re: RE: Visa Situation Now
Ok, it appears that it is no longer a mandatory requirement to pre-book an ASQ Hotel in order to apply for the e-Visa, as you can see from the screenshot, they have removed the asterix which indicates mandatory, from the Health Insurance & Hotel Booking.
Re: RE: Visa Situation Now
It might make sense to prebook.. That way no need to wait for any refund. I noticed the pricing for 7 days in the Olympia and Toyoko Inn are below 1k.
Seems easier to pay in advance and not deal w/ waiting for refund--
thanks as always @PSD-Kiwi for all the new info
Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it
Re: RE: Visa Situation Now
Updated entry requirements table (graphic is shit, any way to upload a pdf.?)
