At one time Cambodia was one of the easiest countries in Southeast Asia to obtain a long term visa. Just a matter of applying for an "Ordinary" visa when you arrived and renewing it to a business visa before the 30 days was up and you would have a multiple entry visa good for one year. Things are more complicated now with extensions for people working in Cambodia, retiring, or other categories. Of course you can still renew your tourist visa for 30 days but if you want to stay longer you'll have to exit the country and then return. I suppose with a huge amount of foreign investment and a population that's eager for good jobs the government is tightening up the rules to help favor locals looking for jobs. But I believe it's still possible for foreigners with experience to find work in Cambodia. I would recommend Phnom Penh for either a long term stay of employment or retirement. There are a few things they will have to do to adjust the infrastructure to meet the needs of all of the new development. Even with all of the new construction and traffic issues Phnom Penh still feels like one of the more laid back capitals of Southeast Asia. Thanks for listening!
