However, when it comes to Cambodia E-class visas, the foreign national can extend the validity of his or her visa to 3 months, six months and even one year as per the requirements.

Making things clearer, if the traveler wants to extend the validity of his visa after 30 days, he or she can select one among the four e-class visa types available as of now, EB, EG, ER, or ES visa extension.

Previously, there was only one E-class visa extension, but now, the Cambodian agencies have classified it into four to turn the system more transparent.

Note: Even though normally called as e-class visa, these visas are nowhere connected to electronic visas, and to obtain these visas, the foreign national should apply in the Cambodian consulate or embassy.
