Hello my name is Diana. I am planning on moving to Cambodia the end of March 2014. I am 62 years of age and have retired and getting my Social Security. I am single, excellent health and enjoy life. Part of my journey will be to visit the monasteries and settle into a more peaceful way of living. My career was (is) Teaching and Tourism. I love both because it allows me to share information, embrace others experience and continue to grow as a Human Being. I do have a question, not sure if this is the place to voice my question. I am uncertain about my traveling there on a one way ticket or do I need a round trip ticket in order to benefit getting a Business visa after the 30 day visa has expired. Can you help me with this question?

Hello my name is Gaia Dianna. I have read information on the visa process. However, I have not read any information regarding whether one can come in on a one way ticket verse a round trip ticket to benefit for the business visa. Does it matter ?

Diana,

You do not require a return ticket,聽 1 way is fine. Upon arrival you should apply for the $25 Ordinary visa (formerly business ), not the Tourist visa. The ordinary visa is valid for 1 month but can be extended for 3, 6 & 12 months (6 & 12 month extensions are multi entry/exit). Just take your passport to any guesthouse or travel agent before your 1 month visa is due to expire and tell them you want to extend it for x amount of time,聽 they will tell you how much it costs and will arrange the extension for you, normally 1-3 day turn around.

Although one-way is fine on the visa side, there are a few airlines that will not let you board the plane if you only have a one-way ticket and no long term visa.

Hi Diana
I just read your blog, i am also traveling to Cambodia early April with a view to moving out with my family. It sounds like we have some common interests, perhaps we could meet up. I run a organisation called headgym.co.uk which explains a little about me.
Let me know if you would like to meet up.
Thanks
Neil

Thanks for the information rarky. I am arriving in Phnom Penh April 2 and staying in the Star Wood Inn Guesthouse Sangkat Vielvong. I chosed this place because they stated they had airport pickup. And the Inn looked nice and clean. I am excited and looking forward to this adventure. Will like to meet up with you. If so my email address is enfoldme@gmail.com. Thanks again for the information

There are a couple of universities starting programs in tourism.聽 If you have a solid background you might really have something to contribute.聽 Let me know if you are interested.
