Yes — UK nationals qualify for the EB (Ordinary) Visa extension on the same published criteria as every other nationality; there's no UK-specific barrier to the visa itself. Where nationality does matter is the police clearance — and that is requested in some cases rather than forming part of every application. Where one is asked for, the document British nationals use is an ACRO Police Certificate, obtainable online via acro.police.uk or in person before leaving the UK, and — since Cambodia isn't a Hague Apostille Convention member — it needs consular legalisation for use here rather than a simple apostille.

Quick FAQ
Which police certificate do UK nationals use if one is requested for the EB visa?
An ACRO Police Certificate — apply online at acro.police.uk, or in person at the Ministry of Justice before leaving the UK. Confirm current processing times before you travel, as this document takes time to arrive.
Is Cambodia a Hague Apostille Convention member?
No — Cambodia isn't a Hague Apostille Convention member. A UK ACRO certificate needs consular legalisation for use in Cambodia rather than a standard apostille.
How much does the EB Ordinary Visa extension cost?
A typical agent rate for a 12-month EB extension runs around USD 285–300. Shorter 1- or 3-month extensions don't require a sponsor and cost less; a 12-month extension requires a sponsor (a Cambodian employer, your own registered company, or an agent's umbrella arrangement). Rate indicative as of August 2026; agency pricing moves.
Does the EB visa let me work in Cambodia?
No — the EB visa itself doesn't grant work rights. Anyone actually employed in Cambodia also needs a separate work certificate from the Ministry of Labour. That separation now matters at renewal: converging secondary sources report 6- and 12-month EB extensions being refused, where employment is involved, if no valid or in-process work permit is on file, since labour and immigration records are now linked. Those reports describe working applicants; we have not established whether the same check reaches ordinary-route holders who are retired or earning wholly from abroad, so ask us rather than assume it either way. We confirm what your renewal will require before it falls due.
How long does the EB extension take to process?
Short-term extensions (1–3 months) typically take 3–7 business days. A 12-month extension, which involves sponsor verification, usually takes 5–10 business days — extending to around 2 weeks during the January–March peak season. Times are indicative as of August 2026 and are set by immigration, not by us.
