I plan on arriving from the states with my new passport this autumn on a one way plane ticket. Get a visa and extend it to a year. Find myself a year round residence in snooky and travel a few months of the year. So it looks like a business visa it is?

 

On arrival, pay $25 USD for the business / ordinary visa. This will give you 30 days in country. Once you are where you will be for a little while - at least four or five days, apply for your six month or one-year visa extension.

      So, if I want to live in Cambodia long term, at least a year or more and don't want to hassle leaving the country for visa renewals, which should I ask for when arriving at the airport and going through customs? I'll be leaving California with just a renewed passport and no visa for Cambodia.

      This may actually make it a bit more attractive, if it goes through, to visit the ol' country again.

      Well, I picked up my one-year temporary (limited-validity) passport from the US Embassy in Phnom Penh. Sure doesn't look like much, especially in comparison with my "old school" 10-years (full-validity) passport with its additional pages.
       

       
      The new passport has the ID page, a signature page, a personal data page, etc. Then, it has five (5) visa pages, and one endorsement page. That's it. It's as thin Dicey's (Andrew) hair.
       
      NOTE: A temporary (limited-validity) passport cannot be extended or have pages added to it.
       
      Anyway, as I stated, it's valid for one-year from the date of issue. So, I don't expect (and you shouldn't either) for Cambodian Immigration to offer anything more than (possibly) a six-month multiple entry visa. I am going to probably just get a three-month visa and plan on staying in country until I get my ten-years passport in hand. (Most countries require at least six months validity left on your passport, prior to issuing a visa.)
       
      Now, for those concerned who may be involved in this mess of waiting for their passports to be printed and sent back to the nearest embassy abroad. If you have not contacted your local US Embassy, and if it has been more than ten business days since you applied and paid for your new passport, I strongly suggest for you to ring up the US Embassy nearest you. Let them know when your current passport expires, and when your current visa will expire.
       
      If you and the representative determine that you need a limited-validity passport, they will just have you come into the embassy and have it sorted for you. No need to make a reservation. The staff will sort that for you as well. Just go in when they tell you to be there. They had me in and out in less than 20 minutes, yesterday. This included the time in the guard shack. 
       
      Also, they will give you a two page letter, explaining your temporary passport and informing you of any / all requirements necessary to file for your full ten-years passport, prior to the temporary passport expiring. Here are the four basic requirements that will have to be met by every American Citizen, when filing for their full-validity document. 
      A completed form DS-5504 - 212249.pdf One passport sized photo graph - see form DS-5504 for specifics regarding submitting an appropriate image. Your temporary (limited-validity) passport. (Prior to it expiring.) The letter explaining all of this.  NOTE: If you wait until your temporary (limited-validity) passport has expired, prior to filing again for your ten-years passport, you will be required to pay the full cost of the new passport at that time. So, DO NOT let your temporary passport expire, prior to filing for your full ten-years passport.
       
      There are other requirements that may be ticked in that letter. If they are, make sure you read and comply with those requirements.

      There is a paragraph a bit further down that reads:
