Only APSARA Authority has the legal authority to issue entry tickets, and they do not issue a "one year pass" of any kind (if you are a long term resident registered with your Sangkat, you generally do not need a pass at all). I would check the fine print on what you were given to make sure you weren't boosted with a swindle.

You are completely wrong on this. I got a one year pass just over a year ago, must remember to update it but I used it last January and it worked fine.

On the website for the state-owned enterprise that manages the Angkor Wat site, they say *only* they may issue entrance tickets:

Angkor Enterprise wrote:The Angkor Ticket Office (Angkor Enterprise) is the only place where you can purchase entrance tickets for the Angkor Archaeological Park. Tickets purchased elsewhere are not valid

And it would appear that the longest duration pass they issue is for 6 months, so a year-long pass is almost certainly not an officially recognised ticket that the APSARA Authority is obliged to honour.

Otherwise, wouldn't every business that could afford to issue their own tickets and passes, denying the state one of their favourite sources of revenue?

No one I can see is saying passes are issued by anyone other than Angkor Enterprises.

One year passes are a legit thing. Here's my second one, issued at the official ticket office.

Why would anyone believe that? The height of culture for you is probably a casino or a KTV.

I have never been to a Ktv alone , a coupla times,only as a guest not my bill .
I would not waste money on them .
i been to the beach and the chicken farm but those days are long gone .
I been to all the temples I need in my life when I was young and living in thailand
What’s the point now of angkor wat for me ? I can see it on you tube and save gas
If I want to go i can go anytime , and I might get the urge , who knows
I would never pay to see old rocks and tourists , i can see that online and save energy .
Regarding the casino , you have to go , it was a way of life at the time , but I do not live there anymore
and i have a responsibility to do my best ( altho I feel i’m a failure at ) raising a child here who needs attention
alot more now than his baby years . It is wearing me out , but I have to get him ready to take care of me
when I get demented , or be on his own without me . Orphan
Stressing about his future is constantly on my mind .
No time to relax with all of that going thru my mind .

It’s not normal for a 71 years old man who can not even cook
( I just learned how to make rice ) to be a single parent

1. Foreigners who have resided in Cambodia for at least 2 years are eligible to apply for a free 12 month unlimited pass to the Temple complex. This pass can be renewed annually, i have applied for 2 since it was introduced, veru simole online application.

2. Doesn't matter if you're a long term registered resident, pass is still required. It is only Cambodian Citizens who do not need a pass.

What are the requirements for residency status? Do you need to be registered with your local Sangkat or will a long term visa plus considerable periods of stay suffice?

No requirement for residency status. You just send photos of your visa extensions for the past 2 years.

As John said, just need to show/upload your current and previous Visa Extensions of Stay which show at least 2 years residency.
