Question 1

Which Cambodia visa for an Australian 6-week consulting engagement?

Accepted Answer

The Business eVisa (E-Class) at $90 USD (~$137 AUD) all-in single-entry, plus an in-country 1-month extension at roughly $60 USD (~$92 AUD) through a Phnom Penh-based immigration agent. The Business class expressly covers paid consulting work, meetings, sales calls, supplier visits, and due-diligence. The 30-day single-entry stay limit catches first-timers — plan the extension before you arrive.

Question 2

Single-entry or multi-entry Business eVisa for a project team?

Accepted Answer

Depends on engagement shape. Single-entry at $90 USD (~$137 AUD) is the right pick for one continuous in-country stretch — apply once, extend once if needed, fly home at the end. Multi-entry at $150 USD (~$229 AUD) government fee plus service margin is the right pick for teams flying in and out monthly across 3-6 months — three or four entries inside the 3-month validity window pays for the premium straightforwardly. If undecided, start with single-entry; the in-country extension always exists as a fallback.

Question 3

Can I extend a Cambodia Business eVisa in country?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month extensions are all available on an existing Business eVisa through a Cambodian immigration agent in Phnom Penh. Processing time is 7-14 business days. Government fees range from roughly $60 USD (~$92 AUD) for a 1-month extension up to roughly $330 USD (~$504 AUD) for a 12-month extension, plus the agent processing fee of $20-80 USD (~$31-122 AUD) depending on extension length. Start the paperwork at least 2 weeks before your initial 30-day stay expires.

Question 4

What is the 1-year Cambodia Business visa extension?

Accepted Answer

The 12-month Business extension is the long-stay milestone for Aussie consultants on long programmes — AusAID and DFAT contractors, mining services scoping leads, tech delivery managers, NGO programme officers, training providers. Government fee is roughly $330 USD (~$504 AUD) plus the agent processing fee, processed in 7-14 business days. It requires an existing Business eVisa stamp in your passport to unlock — you cannot apply for the 12-month extension as a first-time visa. The extension is renewable indefinitely, making it the cleanest long-stay path in SE Asia for an Aussie professional.

Question 5

Do I need to use a Phnom Penh extension agent, or can I do it DIY at MFAIC?

Accepted Answer

DIY does technically exist but is rarely worth it. The MFAIC counter operates Khmer-language-first, processing involves multiple trips to the office, and the agent processing fee of $20-80 USD (~$31-122 AUD) on top of the government fee is small money in any consulting budget. The reputable Phnom Penh agents handle hundreds of Aussie consultant extensions a year and know every edge case. Most DFAT contractors, AustCham members, and Phnom Penh hotels can introduce you to a preferred agent.

Question 6

Can I do paid work in Cambodia on the Business eVisa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Business eVisa expressly covers paid work — consulting, project delivery, contractor engagements, training delivery, programme management — in addition to meetings, conferences, sales calls, supplier visits, and due-diligence. There is no separate Cambodia consultant or contractor visa for short-to-medium engagements. Cambodia's stance is more permissive than Singapore, the UAE, or the United States on this point, and Aussie consultants do not need to fit their engagement into a more restrictive frame than the local rules require.

Question 7

What if the project extends beyond my extension?

Accepted Answer

Stack another extension. You can extend a Business eVisa multiple times consecutively. The cleanest long-stay pattern is to roll into the 12-month extension as soon as the engagement looks like it will run past 6 months — the 12-month product is the cheapest per-month and renewable indefinitely. We have plenty of Aussie consultants on rolling 12-month extensions for three, four, or five years continuous. The renewal flow is the same as the initial extension — pass the passport to your Phnom Penh agent two weeks before expiry, get it back inside 7-14 business days with the new stamp.

Question 8

Does the Business eVisa cover meetings, conferences, supplier visits, and due-diligence all on one trip?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Business eVisa (E-Class) is unusually broad and covers meetings, paid work, conferences, sales calls, supplier visits, and due-diligence on a single class. A consultant on a 6-week engagement might attend a Phnom Penh fintech conference in week 2, run client meetings throughout, visit a supplier in week 4, sit in on a due-diligence session in week 5, and deliver paid training in week 6 — all on the same Business eVisa with no class change required. This breadth is one of the reasons the Business eVisa is the default for any non-leisure trip.
