That's because the link in the OP, cut and pasted directly from the OP's pdf is wrong.

Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training would be 'mlvt'.

Try this one https://www.fwcms.mlvt.gov.kh/

Excellent, thank you.

Does anybody have any idea what the "Stay Permit" part of the application is referring to?

What changes, nothing new in that announcement that I could see? These type of announcements are made every year in advance.

We had some ministry officials around checking all our passports/visas/ work permits today. We were asked to supply residency certificates earlier in the year to comply with some new (or previously unenforced) directive. This time they said all foreigners will need a residency certificate for our new permits. I'm not sure how easy it is to get one, if anyone knows I'd be interested. I know you can get it from the sangkat but I don't know if I'm registered with them.

This is typically organised with the participation of your landlord, but may or not be influenced by whether the landlord has paid tax on the property recently. If he hasn't, you may or may not be screwed.
