Heavy! From October 17, Cambodia will renew its business visa or need to show its labor permit.

Recently, a message that "from October 17, the Cambodian Immigration Bureau requires that a business visa must be renewed with a labor permit, otherwise it cannot be renewed" has been widely spread among friends. The specific contents are as follows:

Important notice: Dear friends, starting from October 17, 2022, apply for renewal of Cambodia's business visa. The Cambodian Immigration Bureau requires a Cambodian labor permit. Those without a labor permit will not be able to renew it.

Passport, visa renewal, labor permits and other documents are closely related to the Chinese in Cambodia. They are related to the development of normal activities such as legal residence in Cambodia and legitimate business and work. Therefore, they have attracted the attention of many compatriots in Cambodia. Many people are very concerned, and some even feel worried.

So, is this news true?

A travel agency in Phnom Penh stated that they have received an oral notice from the Immigration Bureau. The news is true, but there is no official official document, and the specific implementation time is still uncertain.

A staff member of another travel agency said that a Cambodian colleague also told them today about the need for a labor permit to renew a business visa. At present, he has only received oral news and has not yet received official notice.

EasyGo EasyTravel International also learned more detailed information about the news from a travel agency staff member: "Important notice: Since October 17, 2022, applications for renewal of a Cambodian business visa have been required by the Cambodian Immigration Bureau to have a Cambodian labor permit for 2022. If the applicant is entering Cambodia for the first time and has never applied for a Cambodian visa, the application for a visa for less than half a year is not required to have a Cambodian labor permit for 2022."

At present, it seems that many travel agencies have received oral news that they need to hold a labor permit to renew their contracts from October 17, and the relevant regulations for the renewal of business visas for the first entry into Cambodia have also been clarified.

It should be mentioned that as of press time, the Cambodian Immigration Bureau has not yet issued an official notice, and the specific implementation time and regulations shall be subject to the official notice of Cambodia.

At the same time, EasyGo Yiyou International hereby reminds Chinese who have been doing business in Cambodia for a long time that the labor certificate is a proof of legal work in Cambodia. If there is no labor certificate, it should be handled as soon as possible to avoid losses to themselves.
