Which family relationships qualify?

A foreign national's spouse and children are one of the groups covered by the EB business visa extension, alongside foreigners working in Cambodia, foreigners wanting to start a business, and freelancers. The official source sets no age limit or dependency test for children.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The EB category can be renewed indefinitely, in 1, 3, 6 or 12-month options; for a business visa, renewal for a long period is conditional on holding a work permit. The official source states no rights for the dependant and no path to longer-term or independent status.

  • The CDC Handbook on Investing in Cambodia is explanatory investment-promotion material published by the Council for the Development of Cambodia, not the immigration law and not an MFAIC visa notice.
  • The handbook states this for the EB class as a whole and never separates the dependent spouse or child. It does not say whether the work-permit condition on long renewals bites on a spouse or child who is not working, which is the cohort this route describes.
  • It states no rights (work, study, healthcare) for the dependent, and no route from the EB extension to a longer-term or independent status.
  • Recorded source · cdc.gov.kh
    EB (Business), ER (retirement), ES (student) can be renewed indefinitely (1,3,6 or 12 months’ option) but the renewal of a business visa for a long period is subject to having a work permit.
