An Immigration Department official yesterday confirmed that foreigners requesting a long-term extension of their business visas would need to produce a work permit, with implementation of the rule starting September 4.

 

Ouk Sophal, deputy chief in charge of visa extensions, said foreigners would need work permits for business visa extensions of six months or one year, but that the rule would apply only from the second extension onwards.

 

“After the first arrival, you can have the next extension without a work permit, for six months or a year,” he said.

So it means 1 year visa still easy to get. Then if you are not able to cheat any Cambodian rule, you should not go there !

I was told this when I applied last week for a visa. They told me to just get the retirement visa. Easy. Don't have to go thru all those things you have to do in Thailand & you don't have to be old.

You can probably buy yourself a work permit in Cambo, just more money changing hands.
