ER visa (retirement visa in Cambodia)
ER visa (retirement visa in Cambodia)
I’m thinking about going to Cambodia for a while. I’m over 55 and want to try and get the ER visa. I’ve noticed that the requirements say you must show pension or social security but I have neither because in Australia pension doesn’t happen till I’m 67 and super can’t be accessed till 60. My income will come from renting out my apartment and also interest from a large amount of money in a fixed term account. Will this be accepted? No Australians have pension or social security at 55 which is the age you need to be for ER visa.

Re: ER visa
show up at border, request a Ordinary ( business) visa $35 for 30 days
go to just about any agent and pay $280-300 and get a 1 year extension.
Only need give them ur passport, 1 photo and that ur landlord has registered you on the FPCS app , ( screen shot)

Re: ER visa
What the other guys said, at most you may be asked by your agent (not always a requirement, it varies from agent to agent) to sign a declaration form stating you have a monthly income from outside of Cambodia.
If required, the agent will provide that form for you to sign (and how truthful the declaration is, is up to you, it’s highly unlikely anyone will check)

Re: ER visa
Wow ok seems very relaxed. So after 1 year is up do you leave and come back for further renewals? Hope they don't change it all like Thailand and Malaysia have. Both countries now only giving long term visas to the very wealthy.

Re: ER visa
Nope, no visa runs required, just contact your agent one month before your visa/extension of stay expires and apply for another 12 month extension of stay (rinse and repeat)

Re: ER visa
if ur in Thailand on a 1 year extension ( same you get in Cambodia) you never need leave
ur confusing 1 year extensions with the new long term visa program in Thailand

Re: ER visa
In the case of Thailand, that's not true at all. The official requirement has remained unchanged for many, many years - and I'd hardly call having 800,000 baht in the bank "very wealthy". There are some new programs with extra benefits and additional requirements, but they haven't replaced the existing retirement "visa" (extension of stay).

how long does the process take to obtain the one year visa
Re: ER visa (retirement visa in Cambodia)
1. You must enter the country on an E-type (Ordinary) Visa, $35 on arrival, valid for 1 month
2. Prior to your Visa expiry date, go to a Visa agency and apply for an Extension of Stay (EOS). There are different EOS categories available, the main ones are;
- EB (Business/Employment) EOS - 1,3,6,12 month options, can be renewed indefinitely
- ER (Retirement) EOS - 1,3,6,12 month options, can be renewed indefinitely
- ES (Student) EOS - 1,3,6,12 month options, can be renewed indefinitely
- EG (General - seeking employment/business opportunities) - 1,3,6 month options - 1 time deal, cannot be renewed in-country
Only 6 & 12 month options valid for multi-entry/exit.
Each EOS category has it's own supporting documentation requirements, but minimum requirements for all are;
- Valid passport with minimum 6 months validity remaining from the date the EOS will expire ie. If applying for 12 mth EOS, you need at least 18 months validity remaining on your passport
- Minimum 2x blank Visa pages in passport
- 1x Passport pic
- Completed EOS application form (most agents will complete on your behalf)
- FPCS details screenshot
For the ER (Retirement) EOS:
- If aged 55+ and applying via a Visa agency, no additional supporting documentation is required
- If aged under 55 and applying via a Visa Agency, proof of retirement and sufficient funds are required
- If applying directly via the DoI, the supporting documentation requirements are extensive and strict
Costs if applying via a Visa agency (price depends on agency and location);
- 1 mth EOS = $45 - 55
- 3 mth EOS = $70 - 90
- 6 mth EOS = $150 - 170
- 12 mth EOS = $270 - 300
There is no standard processing time, average is 7-10 business days, but you should allow up to 14 business days, anything less is a bonus. If you need it quickly, you can pay an additional $70 - 100 for express processing (next day) when applying via a Visa Agency.
*You also can apply for your EOS directly at the Department of Immigration (DoI) Visa Office in Pochentong, Phnom Penh, but only if you have all of the necessary supporting documentation, which they are very strict about. Official fee for a 12 month EOS applying directly is $180.
