Ordinary / Business Visa (E) and long-stay extensions
The E visa is Cambodia's business (ordinary) visa. It is the usual entry visa for people who plan to work or stay longer, because it can be extended inside Cambodia by the General Department of Immigration. The e-Visa version is single entry, valid 3 months, with a 1-month stay. Missions also list multiple-entry E1, E2 and E3 visas valid for 1, 2 or 3 years.
