Authorities have begun enforcing a decade-old law that requires foreigners working in Cambodia to have a valid work permit in addition to a work visa, an immigration official confirmed Wednesday.
“We’ve been implementing this for about a month,” said Nov Leakhana, deputy director general of the Ministry of Interior’s general department of immigration.
The move comes after the creation of the department in April.
“We had the law, but we could not fine because we didn’t have the [permission] from the Ministry of Finance. After the creation of the general department of immigration on April 1, we have the [permission],” he said.
A work permit is separate from a work visa and costs 400,000 riel, or about $100. (continued)
