I don't think opinion matters with immigration issues as they won't change the facts, and it's a fact that the immigration rules differ by nationality. It's also a fact that an employment letter is not sufficient for all ... Read More

This approach will only work for "westerners". If you're not a "westerner", they're not gonna issue you an E-Visa in Bavet without proof of employment. Read More

Hi guys, I currently live in South Africa and it has been my dream forever to move overseas. I have officially started the process and have got my cv and everything together. The next step is figuring out how to get overseas. I have been looking ...

You could work as a freelancer (eenmanzaak). No need to worry about finding a job then. I'm also in the process of registering with the chamber of commerce. So far it's been straightforward. Just find a good tax consultant to help you. He ... Read More

Sure you can. Whether that's advisable is a different question, as one visa extension consumes a whole page in your passport. The immigration department has become much better recently. There's really no need to use travel agencies any ... Read More

Insurance coverage in Cambodia by Kenjee

Hello everyone, Moving abroad requires adequate insurance coverage. What type of insurance expatriates need the most in Cambodia: health, house or liability insurance? All of them? Do they come as a package? Are there other insurance ...

Since a few (very few...) places use land line phones, I'm sure it's possible to buy them somewhere. I've seen some phones at PBC in the past, but that was maybe 2 years ago... Have you asked your phone line provider? If everything else ... Read More
