is this for real concerning wp??

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Article is from July 30 - looks like old news/rumour unless someone can prove the contrary. And I think we would have heard if this was happening ?

In the mail.




I exited Cambodia via land (Poipet) in mid August with no issues.

I have several 12-month regular/business visa extensions and can't even spell "werk permit."

No issues at all.

I'm not suggesting anything one way or another, just sharing the facts of my experience.

(I admit, I was ever so slightly nervous while leaving, given the random reports of it happening, though.)

In MY own experience, and several others, nothing has changed regarding work permits since I first arrived in Cambodia some 7ish years ago until now.



If I was anyone working without one more I'd be in no great hurry to rush down to the nearest government office to sort the shit out.
