Cambodia Visa Options: Visit, Work, or Live in Cambodia in 2024

As an expat living in Cambodia, one of the most common questions that I get are about the visas. In this video, I'll walk you through each type of visa and help you figure out which one is best for you. This guide goes over the tourist visa, business visa (ordinary visa), retirement visa, and the 1-year working visa (and work permit). Information on the cost and requirements for each visa in 2024 is included.

In recent months there is some indication that Cambodia has changed some of the rules regarding visas, so I can't guarantee that everything in this video is 100% up to date. Later this year, I will speak with my visa agent and make a 2025 edition on visa rules, etc.

I say this in a lot of videos, but the best resource for getting up-to-date information on Cambodia is the "Cambodia Expats" and "Cambodia Visas" facebook groups.

Great info. You should do this every six months or so because we look for recent info. Thanks.

I just bought a 6 month visa. Border runs are ok if you like to travel, but I now have multiple enter options. I’ve bought visa on arrival and also online from the UK, and never had any issues. I have heard however, that there are scam websites sites out there, so make sure you buy your online visa from the official Khmer website.

Thank you very much Allan! All my visa questions answered in one short video, clearly and concisely. I'll be following.

Very good well presented video about visas. The last time I was in Cambodia was in 2002 but I'm coming back there to stay maybe for a long long time or permanently and also teach English.

Thanks Allen. Your visa tips were unknown to me until I watched this video. I'm going to watch it again.

I got 2 x online E-type visas last week from the website.
There are places to upload supporting documents but I didn't bother.
They issued it anyway for both me (British) and my Thai wife.
We will extend to either 6 or 12 months.
The Ordinary visa is the E-Type visa - as printed on the visa.
Took 3 days with zero supporting documents uploaded.
Reason for visit : Want to rent apartment, maybe buy one

Thank you for this video. Plan on arriving in July to stay long term. As you probably know a quick google search was not definitive in any way. Outdated info, sites vying to broker the process etc etc.. Your video was concise and answered the questions I had (most specifically the proper visa to get to transition to a retirement visa). Liked it so much I subscribed.

[Charlie-phlezk]

I'll be there long term beginning in April! Cheers and howdy!

If U bring USD with U for the KH visa take care that the USD bills are perfect, no rips or other damages, no written notes on it, only nicely folded and recent ones (not older versions).
Same when U want to pay with USD in KH - and check for that when U should get change in USD.
Otherwise expect that a damaged, old or whatever suspicious bill won't be accepted - while a local KH Riel (4k Riel typically equals 1 USD) bill can look ugly as hell and still being accepted everywhere.

Thank yo ufor the cut to the chase CRISP explamnation !

Super helpful. So you're saying that you can get the 1-year ordinary visas if you're an online entrepreneur, you just get the work permit and list that you're self-employed? $500/year, not bad IMO

[Justinianc]

Once you get the E business visa on arrival and want to extend for 1 year, can you immediately seek the extension or do you have to wait a certain number of days (before the 30 days expiration, if course).

Hi, excellent video!
Question, are visa regulations same for all countries?
Asking for Serbia, our closest embassy is in Jakarta.
