Methodology

The site is built on one promise: every figure, every deadline, every rule is sourced from an official document. Here's how we do it.

1. Primary sources only

For every guide, we look for primary sources:

• Khmer government sites (e.g. evisa.gov.kh, mef.gov.kh)
• Embassies (France in Cambodia, Cambodia in France)
• Laws, prakas (ministerial decrees), and downloaded official documents
• Official statements from recognised institutions (IMF, World Bank, WHO for vaccines)

Secondary blogs, press articles and forum testimonies are never used as sources — at best they point us towards a primary source to verify.

2. Access date on every source

Each source shows the date we consulted the document. Cambodian administrative rules evolve through yearly prakas — a figure checked 18 months ago may already be out of date. The access date lets you judge how fresh the information is.

3. Periodic re-verification

Every guide carries two dates in its frontmatter:

• updatedAt: the last time the content was edited
• reviewedAt: the last time sources were re-verified, even without changes

Guides whose reviewedAt is more than 6 months old show a "Needs update" banner to flag re-verification.

4. Explicit notice when we don't know

5. Public changelog

Every correction to a figure or rule is recorded in the changelog, published openly and broadcast via the RSS feed. If you've bookmarked a guide, you'll be notified of important changes.

Limits and warnings

Despite these precautions, this site is not a law firm or an administrative authority. Before any binding procedure (long-stay visa, company formation, real-estate purchase) we systematically recommend verifying with the cited official source and, if needed, consulting a professional.
