PHNOM PENH: The application for an extension to the validity of the Foreigner Work Permit/Employment Card for 2022 has been extended until May 31, 2022, without fines for foreigners who have a Foreigner Work Permit/Employment Card for 2021.

The notification was announced by the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training on 28th March, after noting that a large number of foreigners who have Foreigner Work Permit/Employment Card for 2021 have not applied for an extension to their card due to the situation of the ongoing spread of COVID-19 in the world in 2022, especially the new Omicron variant.

All new foreigners who come to work or carry out any occupation in the Kingdom of Cambodia must complete documents duly in accordance with the law.

“The Ministry strongly hopes that all owners or directors of factories, enterprises, companies, and foreigners will comply with this notification in a correct and highly effective manner.”
