Long-stay visas for Cambodia
The least bureaucratic long-stay route in the region: an ordinary business visa converts to an indefinitely renewable extension with no income test, no deposit and no insurance requirement.
Ordinary (Class E) Visa with EB / EG Extension of Stay
30 days on arrival, extendable for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months per the embassy pages. Non-official guides say renewals are unlimited, which no official page we could read statesCambodia's ordinary Class-E visa costs 35 USD at the embassies that publish a fee, is single entry and allows 30 days on arrival. The embassy pages say it can then be extended in Cambodia for 1 or 3 months, or 6 or 12 months, and that a Ministry of Labour work permit is required for the longer extensions. The extension fees, the EB and EG labels and any rule about renewals come from non-official sources and are not confirmed here.
