No dedicated digital nomad visa · Australian applicants
Moving to Cambodia as a remote worker: guide for Australians (2026)
Cambodia has no dedicated digital nomad visa, so Australians who want to base themselves there use E-class ordinary visa + EB extension or T-class tourist visa instead. That is the honest starting point — there is no remote-work permit to apply for, and anyone selling you one is selling fiction. Cambodia has no digital nomad visa, but the E-class 'ordinary' visa with 6- and 12-month extensions is Southeast Asia's most flexible long-stay workaround.

How to apply from Australia
1Pick the right alternative route
Cambodia has no nomad-specific permit, so Australians choose from the documented alternatives in the country guide — usually a long-stay visitor route or a freelance/self-employed permit where one exists.
2Apply from Australia
Australians apply through Cambodia's standard consular channels for the alternative route that fits — there is no nomad-specific application track. Check the Cambodia country guide for the documented options and apply well before you fly.
3Don't rely on the tourist-visa grey area
Working remotely on a standard visitor entry is a grey area in Cambodia and can lead to refused entry. A proper long-stay status is worth the paperwork.
4Sort tax before you fly
Tax residency usually follows 183+ days of presence, and your home country may still want a return. Confirm your position with a qualified advisor.
Tax notes
Without a dedicated nomad visa there is no special nomad tax regime in Cambodia either — your tax position follows the standard residency rules (usually 183+ days of presence) plus whatever your home country claims. Take qualified tax advice before a long stay.
Tax rules are simplified here and change often. Confirm your position with a qualified tax advisor before making decisions.
