Visa extention

Myriam H · 2018-12-28T09:05:22+01:00

Hi everyone, My hubby and I got a VOA at the airport in PP on 12/08, valid for 1 month. We want to extend our stay for minimum 6 months, possibly 1 year. I researched the various possibilities, being both over 60, the retirement visa seems the best thing for us to do. But the info I get from various sources is confusing. Questions: Can we get a retirement visa when we entered the country on a VOA? Is it possible to do it while in Cambodia or do we have to leave the country? If at all possible from Cambodia, how far in advance do we need to apply? Knowing our VOA expires 01/08/19 Which agent would be best able to help us with this in SR? Is it at all possible to commute a retirement visa into a business visa later on if we decided to do business in this country? Thanks for your input, Myriam H

Before the first 1-year ER EOS expires, can one ask for the second 1-year ER EOS without leaving the country?

Or he/she needs to repeat the process by entering with
VOA and then ask for 1-year ER EOS?

You can apply for another year ER extension without leaving the country.

You can apply from about one month previous to the expiration date, you don't lose any days as they will stamp 1 year from expiration date.

Cheers.
