Can I apply for a business visa? Where, and how much? And how long can I stay with it in Cambodia?

There are more documents and hoops and proof to provide for a business visa. Proof of registration of the business, photographs, addresses, employees etc

The agent told me that two / three weeks ago when I got my retirement visa

Hello . 

I am new in this forum . I want to move to cambodia on retirement visa . About 2 months later I will be 55 years old .

I have a question about entry visa to cambodia :

In the web site evisa.gov.kh  there are several types for E (business) type visa . Which one should I choose to get Visa ? (E-VISA) 

 

Thanks 

E visa at airport or online, don't get a T visa as you cannot get long term visa on a T visa

If you are over 55 you need

A passport

A passport photo

About USD 280

 

Take them to an agent for example in Phnom Penh

Call Kim

Lucky

Marany

 

 

If you go to immigration yourself you will need to provide documents but save about USD100

 

You need to enter Cambodia on an E- class visa. You get 30 days. After about 3 weeks go to an agent.

They will organise everything.

 

Good idea to keep a photocopy of passport so you can move around to show at hotel check ins

Do not need to wait three weeks.

I just got mine in 24 hours through an agent, immediately after arriving in the city, and they added on to the retirement visa, the unexpired time from my entry E visa.

You would then have all the complications of visa on arrival where you pay in certain countries, such as Laos and Cambodia, versus visa free entry in Thailand.

Also, one minute Thailand is moaning about over tourism, damage to the environment, and the next they are aiming for 80 million tourists by 2027/2028.

The flip-flopping is ridiculous.

genuine question.

 

why is thailand not overflowing with asylum seekers?

why are thai hotels not full of migrants that came over on boats?

 

I mean, the weather is warmer here than in the UK isn't it? why would anyone want to claim asylum in a country that rains 300 days a year...

 

does anyone know why Thailand is not currently full of Asylum Seekers seeking to relocate permanently in Thailand without any money in the bank?

 

thanks.

 

bob.

OK,

I'll bite,

because Thailand won't put them up in hotels, give them money and houses.

They should bin the entire police force and start again, but they won't.

Absolutely agree with every word you have said.

Some on here are greener than apples.

Rubbish.

They've nailed a load of his underlings in the online gambling, and they can't do what they do, without his consent.

You have to understand how the police system works to understand about BJ and the others.

 

It starts with new recruits.  They often have to "buy" their application.

Once out on the streets, they are given a target by their immediate manager that they have to bring in each month, that gets handed up the line, everyone has a target except the Chief of Police.  Everything the recruit brings in over & above that target, he can keep.

 

If you play this game you get promoted.  If you don't play the game then you never get promoted.

 

What this means, is that everyone above the level of new recruit is corrupt.  Not most of them, absolutely all of them.

 

As you get promoted and often it gets competitive for roles, you play the game, sometimes you "buy" your new position and if you lose, you keep quiet and everyone's back is watched.

 

BJ isn't playing the game.  He has dirt on everyone, they have dirt on him. You can be sure the online gambling thing is true, but they must be holding back something much worse to stop him from spilling everything on those around him.  He will have been told to "take his medicine" and they'll let him go quietly into the sunset.  He is not taking his medicine.  It's a very dangerous situation for all of them.

I think you have summed it up well, except some on this board view him as a knight in shining armour, and he isn't.

They are all as bad as each other, and as you say, he's not following the rules.

He got to a ridiculously high position in a very short space of time, that only comes with connections, money, and plenty of it.

You can't join the corrupt and then cry foul when it doesn't go your way.

Entirely agree, way too much pointless speculation going on. Less sure about your thoughts on an extension of stay based on  retirement non-o. 

I think I will plod on with the 800K method.

Ok, but the Police Chief pointed out last time it's not Security's job to fight tourists. He said their job is to protect tourists and to call the police when a situation demands it. 

 

Waiting for full story to see how security did after their new mandated training they had to do after last time they made international news

Well said.

That's a fact.

Not annoy me, but do wonder why some understand me perfectly, and others haven't a clue what I said.  Not like I'm in deep conversation with them, just ordering food at restaurant or simple shopping questions.

Because they are not paying attention and are not expecting you to speak Thai.

I have had it plenty of times in the past.

Dee money was very slow.

I don't use them anymore

How about being able to own your house and your business, and never having to think about visas again?

You have a valid point, but for me, it's a lot of hoops to jump through.

Anyway, I've been with the other half for 27 years now, so I can't see us having difficulties.

If it works for you, good stuff.

Before my divorce my wife slept in a different room and I put a bolt on the bedroom door.

I've done that

If that's what you wanted, good luck to you Well done.

I am happy myself as a British passport holder.

I wouldn't ever want to jump through the hoops you have had to do for the sake of free entry to the Grand Palace and Thai rates for national parks.

Ha,

Good on the lad. Well done.

A lot of them can speak English, they just pretend they can't.

But I never asked for applause when I learnt Thai and Lao., and No, they are not the same.

Contrary to popular belief on this board.

Going on 30 years in, I would be ashamed of myself if I had not made the effort to speak the language, and it has many benefits, especially regarding their friendliness towards me.

A common remark is,' you are one of us ', and you speak Thai clearly '

That's a heck of a compliment.

But it took years to gain the trust.

That is not only in poor taste, but also screamingly hypocritical!

Don't think so
