    Question, when using the eVOA app I see an option for the Business (E) visa, but it says it's a one time entry. It was my understanding the E Visa (ordinary) was a multiple entry visa. I'm moving to Phnom Penh at the end of this month and will seek employment as an English teacher. Is there something else I need to do to get a the multi entry ordinary visa?

    • @ForRiel
      @ForRiel  Месяц назад +2

      The initial visa is valid for 30 days and is single entry. Once you arrive in PP, visit a travel agent and request a visa extension. In Cambodia, all 6 and 12 month extensions are multiple entry, and acquiring a visa extension is standard practice for travel agents. I hope that helps!

    Cambodia is regarded as a cordial and industrious nation. Global readers express satisfaction in learning about Cambodia's collaboration with China to initiate the construction of a new Funan Techo Canal, effectively mitigating a pressing economic impediment.
    Prudence is paramount when engaging with a nation that exhibits a deficiency in reliability, and decorum, and manifests hubris and disorderly conduct, as exemplified by the Country Vietnam, India. Contemplating recourse to divine intervention and retribution is advised.
    Responsible, pacifist and assiduous nations, exemplified by China, are strongly urged to approach the disorderly conduct of Country Vietnam, India and the belligerent activities of Country United States of America with circumspection, refraining from imposing specific timelines
