[@danielovicens]

Thanks brother for the great info you provided.

[@franciscusjohannesburger3720]

Tom thanks for the info .

[@whatsname2649]

Great video! Crystal clear. I'm retired & married. Love Vietnam & Thailand, but Vietnam only has 30 day visa. Lots of talk about new 90 day, but not now. Thailand is better, but they don't want you to stay too long. I love the extension options in Cambodia. Cambodia seems like a good place to be. I really love my chow & I know Cambodia has good food, but I have to say that Thailand has the best & Vietnam & Malaysia aren't far behind. More options than Cambodia. The visa policies of Cambodia make it a great place to hang my hat. Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia a short hop away. Lovely! Thanks for the info. I check you out a few times a week to see what's new in Cambodia. I love the beach. Have checked that out too.

[@TomTripsOut]

thanks for watching and commenting - I appreciate you! I agree with what you said too.

“What’s up guys?” Uhmm….right now….the sun, some clouds, a few birds. Oh….there’s a plane up there also. For the ER extension, you are supposed to be 55 years of age or older. Although I have heard of people younger than 55 who were able to get it somehow. Also you can save up to half the cost of six and twelve month extensions if you go to immigration visa office across from the Phnom Penh international airport in person and get it yourself from the authorities, instead of going through a travel agent business. 12 month ER extension will cost only $180 if you go to the immigration visa office next to the Phnom Penh airport. Can easily be $300 or more to go through a travel agent or other business.

What visa would you recommend for a self employed person. thank you

[@Brendz-j8n]

No need health insurance if we travel there

[@7425mc]

What about the FPCS app requirement as relates to visas?

[@MarkDay.]

Hi, would I be right in saying that the E-Type (Ordinary Visa) can only be applied for at the borders before entering Cambodia and can't apply online ?

[@АннаШалдаисова]

Thank you so much for such a useful piece of information and such an inspiring video! This is exactly what I need because I`m going to move to Cambodia to live there and work as an ESL teacher! And I have 1 question: if I don`t find a job and and employer within 30 days, I will apply for 12 months EOS as self-employed. Where can I get an employment letter? Should I write it by myself?

[@TomTripsOut]

Yea if you are self employed you can write it yourself from what I’ve read. Thats a good one to google maybe. - what counts as self employed? - Maybe it has to be a registered business you own in Cambodia? I have no idea

[@АннаШалдаисова]

@@TomTripsOut Thanks a lot! Yea, I guess, I`ll have to register a business.

[@akinduru2749]

Thank you so much for the detailed info, but I have one small question, that would be great if you could answer when you have time mate. I am planning to come and find a job so as a start, I must achieve E type Visa at the airport which can be extented after a month and then I must choose EG Visa as an extension to be able to find a job. Is this correct? Thanking you in advance.

[@TomTripsOut]

That is correct. And If you find a job within the first month you wont need an EG youd go right to an EB extension

[@kaiziel]

Why is it still difficult to enter, Thailand no restrictions, Vietnam no restrictions, Malaysia No restrictions, but Cambodia still need vax records and or risking $235 a day on potentially a faulty tests. Its just Cambodia Philippines and Indonesia still at the covid thing, its long forgotten. I think all Asia should be as easy as Malaysia, Straight enter 3 Months for all no mandatory vax or health insurance just get on. If all of asia was like that it would a dreammm exp Thailand fully legalizing weed. Asia is its own planet.

[@Kosalsom]

Nice video, new friend here

[@timothyplumley8316]

Do I need to have a return ticket when I arrive in Cambodia? Thailand and the Philippines require a return ticket be produced upon arrival or the will not approve a visa on arrival stamp. However if you go through the Thai or Philippine Embassy for your visa. Customs will not ask to see a return ticket.

[@TomTripsOut]

I’ve always been told to have one incase they ask. They might not. But you dont want to give them a reason to deny you. You can also have an onward travel ticket. What some people do is get a bus ticket to Vietnam and cancel it after. Its prob only like $15 anyway.

[@content1]

Thanks for your video. In April 2023 do you still need Covid test? Also for tourist visa on arrival at the airport do you need to bring Photo passport with you or print outs of any thing? Its seems that the online visa is 100 dollar and on the airport is 30 dollars? Is that correct? I don't trust the websites as they could be cloned (fishing) websites.

[@maxmeggeneder8935]

There is an official government website to get the e-visaelectronic visa). Only use that website. The 30 day e-visa(T or E type) is just 30$ plus a 6 or 7$ processing fee. 100 is definately too much. It was 37 last december.

[@content1]

[[this comment is after I done the trip]] The visa on arrival is the way to go. I was impressed about how efficient the Cambodian visa staff were. they had over 50 people at the desk working on the visas so you pretty much had not got to queue or wait. I strongly recommend to do it on arrival. it deffenetly easier that having to send doccuments to a extranger website with your bank details. Also I recommend to carry a pen so you could even fill in the visa on the plane as they will handle the blank document already on the plane. Also it was 35 dollars (not 30). Aitpor trip to center is 10 dollars tuktuk.

[@FDmedlabs]

Is health insurance available to purchase in Cambodia or should it be purchased prior to arrival?

[@TomTripsOut]

@@FDmedlabs I would say prior to arrival. Here’s one that’s specifically designed for Asia. asiapass.lumahealth.com/?b=a413ffa7508e18eaffe97a7dc24f90b9

[@asante-p5q]

Hello, can one use a recognition letter from a language school to get the Ordinary-E type Visa on arrival?

[@TomTripsOut]

I believe so. If I was you I would find out from someone more official tho. Or the government website.

[@asante-p5q]

Thanks for responding and the advice

[@parkash9999]

[@sheenamariep.goloyugo6323]

hi again tom looks like we will be benefiting so much on your videos... please enlighten me.. upon entry should it be tourist visa first? and if we choose to work along side my husband, we will just ask to extend the visa using the visa for finding employment? did i get you right? thank you

[@TomTripsOut]

You have to get something different than a tourist visa. What you need is called an E-type (Ordinary Visa). Do not get it confused with the online evisa. If you DO decide to enter on a tourist visa you will have the added hassle of doing a visa run every time you need to renew it.

[@edwinodus]

What are the requirements for ER visa and does 7/11 accept credit card?

[@TomTripsOut]

im not sure. that's the retirement visa. I think you have to be over 55 and show that you have a certain amount of money in your bank account. Something like that. I don't know about that one cause I don't have experience with retirement stuff yet. 7/11 and credit cards, that's hard to answer, because they accept credit cards in general, but some places some foreign credit cards won't work. its hit or miss, its hard to tell. I don't have a 7/11 near me so I haven't tried. there's only 2 or 3 locations in Cambodia

[@GokuIRL]

In general the 7-11s I've been to in Cambodia do accept debit cards, but haven't tried a credit card

[@mylifethaidiy7045]

@@GokuIRL Debit cards are ONLY supposed to be to get cash out of an ATM. With fraudulent charges on a debit card, you are responsible for the first $50-$500 of fraudulent charges. With Credit cards you are covered for 100% of fraudulent charges. My friends were in Mexico earlier this spring and the gas station did a fraudulent charge on theirs. Best to just keep life uncomplicated and pay with cash.

[@flyer2757]

thanks for video. do yo know please in Cambodia tourist visa extension if "expiry date: 2 August" does it mean 2 August (day 60 since enter) is still a full valid day to leave no overstay issues ?

[@TomTripsOut]

Im not 100% sure, but I think Yes it is still a valid day. Also i think overstay fee is only $10 a day so its not the end of the world if you go one day over.

[@flyer2757]

@@TomTripsOut thanks and yes, it is just the negative reputation i may get towards future visits but apricate you help out

[@limpfold1]

Do you need some additional documents for e-type Visa on arrival, like invitation letter or company contract?

[@TomTripsOut]

Not that I know of. But its always best to check government websites as info changes regularly

[@beaulong]

I just want to stay there and looks like I can’t. I get Va disability and 46 years old. Is it possible to get an ordinary visa?

[@GlobalWorldNews1]

Tom where it is the best place to teach Vietnam or Cambodia?

[@TomTripsOut]

Both are amazing- and AVSE offers courses for both countries. The main difference is you need a degree to work in vietnam. Cambodia you do not need a degree

[@nightmarex1989]

Hallo what are current requirements when entering Cambodia? Are they pretty much the same as before Covid? If not, I had a booster shot over a year ago, is that still valid? Thanks.

[@TomTripsOut]

yea there's no restrictions anymore. but check in all the countries that your flight has a stop over in. because those airports might have diff requirements

[@mrdannyjennings]

Is there any questions on criminal convictions for brits going into Cambodia?

[@TomTripsOut]

Im not sure. I was never asked about that myself, but i dont have a record. I dont know what they can see in their computer when they run your passport

[@Wolfguyofficial]

Will you need a background check? If so, can you do it there?

[@TomTripsOut]

Its a good idea to get one. AVSE program requires that you get one because they put you in schools with kids. However When u apply for jobs here the schools might not ask for one. But in Vietnam it is a requirement. - You have to get it from your hometown before you come. So its a bit of a “just in case” type thing.

[@fazbell]

Are there any "90-Day Reports" with a retirement visa in Cambodia? This is one of the most irritating parts of a Thai Retirement Visa.

[@TomTripsOut]

Im not fully certain but I dont think so. I think you would only have to show paperwork when you renew it annually, and an agency can do it for you

[@SecondLifeExplorer]

I agree that Thailand makes living there very difficult and their visa process and 90-day reporting is very confusing, especially since it's inconsistent across offices and one is dependent upon landlords doing the right thing.

[@edwinodus]

How do I get invitation letter for the evisa?

[@TomTripsOut]

I’m not sure. I didn’t have one

[@edwinodus]

​@@TomTripsOutI left that space blank and it still let me submit the evisa

[@wolfhardoexperiences8433]

So I need to get the e-Type visa and is valid maximum 3 month and then I can extend with the EG visa. If I got that right? And is the Eg visa with multiple entrance and is it possible to extend 6 months one time more?

[@wolfhardoexperiences8433]

And can I get a E type/ ordinary/ business visa without any company inviting me or without that I have a company. I wanna go there and start a business, but wanna have time to do that. So can I also get then the e type visa? Is ordinary e type visa and business visa the same visa? Or is there an ordinary and a business visa and both called e type ? Thanks is advance and best wishes

Hey Tom and followers, Excellent informative videos. Very helpful. Thank you. I have a question about teaching English in Cambodia. I’m qualified, with a TEFL cert, a B.A., and experience teaching in South Korea. But here’s the thing: I’m 68! Could I find a job there at my age? I’m not looking for sporadic under-the-table gigs but seek something legal and steady. Is it possible at my age? Or will I face serious headwinds? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@TomTripsOut]

I think that doesnt matter. There are old people working at my school. I think it would come down to how you portray yourself in the interview. - Also a degree is not required to teach here so are a head of the rest by having one, along with your experience. I think its a possibility if a spot was competitive they may choose someone young because they could lowball them on their salary, and also thru the parents eyes it might be a more presentable image of a teacher. But overall I think it would not hold you back

[@stanleytamblyn2518]

@@TomTripsOut Hey Tom, thanks for your take on my situation. It makes me think that teaching in Cambodia might be a doable possibility for me.

[@moonlightmistandmemories9623]

Hi Stanley , I am 66 years old , and have lived in Siem Reap Cambodia for many years , although I myself have no interest in teaching English ( Happily Retired ) , I have been offered many opportunities by friends who are currently working as Teachers , and Tom is correct , how you present yourself in an interview is key , being older is not really a factor here when it comes to teaching , overall , Khmer society respects the elderly , where as in the west , that seems to be lacking , I am certain you will have no problem finding employment , and now is a good time to relocate , schools are now reopening , after having been shut down for the past couple of years , and tourism has not yet rebounded all the way , still plenty of affordable rentals available here in Siem Reap , as the Khmer are fond of saying here , " No Worries " , just plan your move and make it happen , hope this helps , take care , Peace

You cannot get a job if you have a tourist visa. Also a tourist visa only lasts 30 days. You need a visa that can be extended to a working visa after you get a job. I believe what you want is called E-type.

I am coming to teach English, but I have to job hunt once I arrive. What Visa process would you recommend? Getting a tourist Visa at the airport, then getting an E-Visa once you get a job?

[@TomTripsOut]

a tourist visa CAN NOT be extended into a long term working visa. I would suggest getting an Etype on the way in. Then when you find a job you will be able to get a long term extension

[@TomTripsOut]

if you get a tourist visa on the way in, you'll have to do a visa run to get an Etype. (Leave the country and come back, at the Thai border.)
