The Small Print in the Schengen Entry/Exit System for Remote Workers
The EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) became fully operational on 2026-04-10 across the external border crossing points of the countries using it, replacing passport stamping with digital records for non-EU short-stay travelers. For travelers from Southeast Asia, this affects short trips to the Schengen area by making border checks more automated and adding biometric registration requirements at entry and exit.
US Implements Visa Bonds for Cambodian Nationals
Cambodian nationals applying for US business or tourist visas may be required to post a refundable bond of up to $15,000. This change primarily affects Cambodian citizens and dual nationals living in Cambodia who plan to travel to the United States.
Cambodia’s Golden Visa: Requirements, Costs, Timeline
Cambodia has introduced a new 10-year residency permit that includes work authorization and a pathway to citizenship after five years. This program offers a long-term alternative for high-net-worth expats and investors seeking stability and legal employment rights.
How Cambodia’s V-Pass Digital Entry Works for Nomads
Cambodia is set to eliminate physical visa stamps and QR codes in favor of an all-digital system and mandatory 'V pass' requirements. This change will streamline entry procedures but requires all expats and travelers to adapt to a new digital-only verification process.
Why Cambodia’s FPCS Matters for Digital Nomads
Strict enforcement of the FPCS system means expats in Cambodia must ensure their landlords have registered them or face immediate fines and potential visa renewal complications.
Understanding Cambodia's Work Permit Rules for Remote Workers
Cambodia is increasing enforcement of labor laws for remote workers, requiring digital nomads and freelancers to secure proper work permits. The annual March 31 deadline remains the critical cutoff for E-class visa holders to renew their employment documentation.
Cambodia Tightens Residency Rules and Immigration Oversight
The Ministry of Interior has launched a nationwide initiative to tighten oversight of foreign residents through regular inspections. Expats and digital nomads should ensure their visas, work permits, and address registrations are fully compliant to avoid penalties during spot checks.
Understanding Cambodia's Dual Citizenship Registration
Starting in 2026, Cambodia will enforce an amended Nationality Law requiring dual citizens to register their foreign passports. The update also establishes a formal statutory pathway for long-term residents seeking citizenship, providing more legal clarity for those looking to settle permanently.
