Selling everything is the hard part (at least for me it was). I thought some things would sell quicker and didn't. Plus all the haggling to get a fair price. So give yourself longer than what you think!
Great video. Thank you. Question: can I open an account in a reputable Cambodian bank that has branches all over Cambodia? Do you know if these banks sell CDs? What are the average interest rate? Do these banks accept wire from outside Cambodia?
ABA bank is the one most foreigners use. It's western friendly app, debit card, no ATM fees, etc are why a lot of people like it. Yes, you can transfer money from your country into an ABA account, although there will be transfer fees. I have no idea about CDs or interest rates though.
I'm living in the Philippines now but I'm thinking about moving to Cambodia. Is it hard to get your social security deposit in a bank there. Because here in the Philippines very hard to open a bank account.
Easy to open a bank account here. ABA is probably best bank to use. Only ask to see your retirement (ER) visa. Some banks require a rental agreement to open an account.
Rather than using travel agents, you can do it yourself by going directly to Cambodian Immigration Office and pay $180 for 1 year retirement visa. Travel agents charge ~ $300.
Yes, that's true and is an option if you live in Phnom Penh where the main immigration office is. But I've heard the process in person requires documentation of income that way. But it does save some money if you have that information!
Dave, excellent video. I am moving to Cambodia next week. 😊 Totally agree with everything you say. Another option as you have mentioned before is getting an Ordinary Visa through the Kingdom of Cambodia Immigration website. The difference was $42.00 fee (versus $35.00), a digital passport photo and copy of hotel reservation. No background check, no follow on plane ticket. I applied for the purpose of retirement. So, no proof of income was requested (over 55). I was able to put a deposit down on an apartment through a real estate agent. I looked at the IPS website. You're right, there is a wide range of choices for housing.
Only $30 USD at the airport or a land border crossing for a visa on arrival. All that you need is a valid passport with at least 6 months before expiration, and something that shows an onward ticket for leaving the country (I wasn't asked for this). The land border immigration officers oftentimes ask for an extra "fee" (for their pocket) but if you refuse they don't press it.
@@leeemerson2235 great news brother I'm happy for you i am 2 yrs out from cpp and taking my other pensions and I'm literally counting the days we r doing double what we did 20yrs ago and the newbies want you out to do 3 peoples work✌️✌️
It’s crazy how my Khmer friends escaped Cambodia for a better life in America . If they hadn’t , they could have been one of Pol Pot’s victims. And now they’re saving money to vacation in Cambodia.
If you were educated or had wealth you were perceived to be a threat to the new order. The Khmer Rouge was made up of poor farmers and workers. My driver is a very sweet young man but that being said his father (also a nice man) was in the KR. It was a necessity of the times.

I live in Thailand, I'm thinking about it, I know it's a strange question do you deal with Lazada as I buy a fair few things from them, also can you get a two bedroom house I don't like apartments. Do they have Gym in the town.
Lazada works in Cambodia but you need a third party company to have things delivered so it's an extra cost. Yes, there are houses of all sizes available to rent. Although not as prolific as apartments, you can find them fairly easily through Facebook marketplace or Cambodian forums online. Lots of gyms in Siem Reap. Some require a monthly membership but quite a few only charge per use. Kelly from Autumn In Asia uses one for $1.00 per day, and you only pay when you use it.
Thanks for all the wonderful info, Dave! So, you say do research on how much a person needs for income each month if wanting to retire earlier than 55, but there’s not a lot of info on that out there. I’ve seen you say it could be anywhere between $1500 and now you say $2500. I know you don’t really know the exact number but where could I find that info?? Is it a hard and fast rule or does it vary between travel agencies? Thanks for clearing up a lot of things but this is the one that I’m really needing some info on. Thanks for what you do!!!
Hi Dave. I will arrive on t 3:14 he 26 of Oktober in Bangkok this Year. Stay 6 Mounth in Thailand, then cross the Border to Koh Kong. My final Destination is Kampot. I am pretty Sure we will meet one Day. I was to Cambodia in 2005 . Meanwihle stay safe and healty. Greetings from Austria. Egon
I live next door in Thailand...hows the air quality there? I loved Chiang Mai but the air is terrible half the year so moving south to Krabi where the air is good all year basically. There is one air station there and no history so i cant tell what its like there. I reckon i need to come over to Cambodia i hear its quieter and i see sidewalks there haha!
Cambodia is too damn easy ! -- No other country I have heard has anything close to the ease of moving to their country. -- Too bad most have all kinds of ridiculous laws and regulations often making no sense at all. Mexico has lost their minds ! -- Just show up and spend money - I love it !!! > All the extra BS just makes things cost more !?!?! -- I take it English only is not a problem just walking into these places for rent ? - - - I'm thinking fly into the capital from the US and take a van or bus to Siem Reap 'after' a few days or even a weeks rest from the trip. Time to get refreshed and maybe do some sight seeing first. -- Those $50 apartments sound tempting to my frugal self ! Yours looked OK. -?- Have to start somewhere ? -- Do any expats own tuk tuk's like they do in the Philippines ? I'm thinking I might want one for transportation hauling things & food + exploring the area. Great content mister !!!
Hello Dave, How are you doing? In your own personal opinion, and experience how is medical, and dental care overall? Do you consider Cambodia a safe place to live overall? What would be an honest and fair budget for 1 person for 1 month all included? Are there frequent brown outs in Cambodia? Are are the cons of living in Cambodia? Thank you!
What about furnished apartments? And how much would it cost? And how can I search it from here in the USA? I plan to retire in Cambodia , I am 63 years old. I really appreciate your answers David
How do Canadians adjust to the constant high heat and humidity? Do people have to spend most of the time in air conditioning? This is probably more important than people realize. But there is an appeal yo get away from the corrupted western countries. That can't be denied.
I spent a couple of months in Siem Reap before the covid. I miss Cambodia so much ❤🇰🇭 I would like to be retired in 2-3years. Is it possible to volunteer in a ngo when you are retired ?
Through a travel agency a one year ER visa extension (retirement extension) is about $300.00 Yes, I'll get around to do some low cost apartment rentals!
Please explain what you do about medical costs as the public hospital doctors are poorly trained and would not get a position in an Australian hospital as a cleaner, but the private hospitals charge an arm and a leg, private health cover is again very expensive , so what is the alternative.
Hey Dave how do the Travel Agents get away with not showing any proof of income for over 55,s but you have to show it if going in person to immigration office?
How do people manage filing taxes in Cambodia, since worldwide income is subject to local taxes? My online research shows that Cambodia taxes worldwide income of residents who live in Cambodia. Residents are who stay in Cambodia 182 days or longer in a year which includes foreigners.
@@Bobster0007 US has a FATCA agreement with Cambodia signed in 2015. So I am assuming the countries exchange information about financial assets held in both jurisdictions. You can search for it in google. That is how they could find out about it. Otherwise, no one would bother reporting worldwide income and Cambodian tax law about foreign income reporting becomes useless :)
I looked up the under 55 requirement, admittedly very briefly, and the site I found stated the income amount was not explicitly defined and will likely change depending on the agency used. I just retired from the military and am a little beat up after all is said and done. So, I am looking for a place to settle in a walk-able environment back overseas while I focus on getting healthy again, to see how much mobility I can get back before rejoining the work force proper. This is a pretty wild and selfish idea, I know. However, my pension will not cover the costs of living in America and I need time to rehabilitate myself without being concerned about showing up to work with as little of a limp as possible. So, I have been struggling to pin down exactly where I am going to end up without any concerns about running into visa issues. I say all that just so people may be more aware of the non older than 55 crowd that may be interested in heading to the pacific. All the same, thanks for the videos.
Iam in the same situation retired military 25 years Cambodia is like a breath of fresh air. My pension would pay easily my monthly purchases in Cambodia, I personally can not wait any longer for my country (Canada)to get rid of the useless federal gov as the prices grow increasingly higher and higher each time he opens his mouth.. Plus looking forward to the heat and rain seeing living It's wild if you think about immigration, Cambodians left their situation to come to North America and now we are trying to get out of our situation. Thank you for the great information Enjoy Life
Selling books (which take months and sometimes years to write and edit) means I have zero knowledge about the country I've lived in for six and a half years?!? GTFO
Hey there Dave! I enjoy watching your videos. A quick question though...Do you absolutely have to have a TEFL certificate to teach English in Cambodia? Some people claim that a TEFL certificate is not necessary for teaching English in Cambodia?
Short answer: yes. A TEFL is required by most international schools. However, it's possible to teach without one as long as you have the proper visa extension and work permit but those are more difficult to find.
I looked all over snd see tons of visa videos but cant find the ine about being under 55, id love to watch that video. If you can help, id be very grateful
I love my country so much I’m a genocide survivor my beloved father was a wealthy successful entrepreneur in gems business in Pailin Province during 1950-60-70 Cambodia alone the genocides wouldn’t never happen but there are also a few neighbors country was politically involved. 1975-1979 Cambodia become a massacre bloodshed country. I’m still having nostalgia every time I saw my beloved country. The new modern Cambodia is blooming again but would love to sees more architects design as the ancients time more than the new modern infrastructures within Phnom Phen city. Thank you for this beautiful channel. Enjoyed your stay! 🥹💝🙏
Great info Dave ! -- Over 55 people have it made over there. > Are there many Americans retired in Siem Reap ? -- Prices are amazing. -- (( Colombia is comparable in cost of living but Spanish is essential in most all of the country. Few English speakers. )) This really appears to be heaven for people on very low budgets ? No other place I can find has as many advantages for low incomes and small budgets ! The heat may be the worst aspect of living in Siem Reap - or - perhaps quality of health care for very serious issues ? Given no place is perfect - seems a reasonable trade off to tolerate for the costs involved.
From what I've read if you use a well known agent for your one year under 55 extension, you don't even have to provide proof of income or bank statements. The extra cost probably greases some wheels.
Just wondering about low cost of living if this idea might be viable, spending summers in Nepal and winters in Cambodia/Laos? Thailand is a bit too much for me personally, just FYI.
Hey sir obviously I've been researching SE Asia and your videos popped up can't wait to dig in to a few I grew up upper middle class and lucky for me I took a liking to camping.. consequently I can live with the barest of necessities no problem !! That neighborhood looks great Is there a lot of fresh water lakes that aren't inhabited by crocs????
One thing I will add is most airlines will let you pay for extra bags....I brought 4 large suitcases with me and alot of clothes. Also if you are a tall guy like me the clothes you can buy in Cambodia are not going to fit well. Also if you move from a cold winter country do not get rid of everything warm...keep a jacket, jeans a sweater if you ever plan to return.
Just had a worrying thought. With the new visa changes in the other countries, will more expats relocate to Cambodia, which will push up apartment rental prices.
ive written to the embassy and got no response in relation to importing my boat and if i need a boat licence to use it... no response. Any tips on bringing my Beagle doggie with me?
Stubbled upon your chanel.....no bullshit from you dude 😎....im 52 thinking to retire in Cambodia in few years..... hopefully by then visa situation won't change?.....and Cambodia still relatively easy to settle in than my other preferred location was Thailand which has become too costly..... I first came to Cambodia in mid 90s and still visiting......... keep up the great informative information. Aussie Dan!
Thank you man, I appreciate it. I don't see the retirement regulations changing. After all, it's one of the main reasons Cambodia has a lot of older expats because of how easy it is. I like it because it's so chilled out here and inexpensive compared to western countries!
If married to a Cambodian but could retire but want to opena small business with wifes name on land..all..What is the best vusa longterm eith annual renewals? Price per?
The ER extension is the one you need to retire. It's available for $300 per year, multiple entry, and the only requirement is that you're 55 years old or more.
Whats the best visa service to use in Siem Reap to get the retirement visa, I know you talked about the price for fast service, but i cant seem to find that video, thanks
The 3 months I stayed in Cambodia the most horrendous thing I kept seeing was older western men with young Camer boys on back of there motorbikes, or walking with them ! Im talking 12-13 year olds, my Cambodian friends would sometimes piont them out in disgust.
Hello everyone! This is a quick guide about how to retire in Cambodia. Donate: www.paypal.me/daveinthailand or www.ko-fi.com/ddcambodia
love the idea of selling everything and come to Cambodia.......my plan!
Just listen to this video carefully..Budget for 1 year. I'd say Cambodia 70+%. If you've travelled before.
Selling everything is the hard part (at least for me it was). I thought some things would sell quicker and didn't. Plus all the haggling to get a fair price. So give yourself longer than what you think!
Thanks for your clear and concise
breakdown of what's involved. I'm 55 and have been considering Cambodia for some time.
Thank you and I'm glad you liked it!
Really like your anecdotal accounts of daily life in Siem Reap based on the lived experience.
What about buying larger size footwear (11 1/2 U.S.)? Any place in town for that?
Yes, footwear is easy to get here in western sizes. Several shops in malls and roadside stores are available.
Thanks Dave, keep up the great videos!
No trash bin our city.

Tks for the video. How do I find accommodation if I wanted to try it out for 6-12mths? Tks again.
Nice video nice place! Where do you stay?
Where are these cheap apartments? What city in Cambodia?
Question can my wife that is younger than 55 retire in Cambodia how does that work
Do they have GCash like in the Philippines
do we still pay income tax in california if we reitre in cambodia?
I'm living in the Philippines now but I'm thinking about moving to Cambodia. Is it hard to get your social security deposit in a bank there. Because here in the Philippines very hard to open a bank account.
Easy to open a bank account here. ABA is probably best bank to use. Only ask to see your retirement (ER) visa. Some banks require a rental agreement to open an account.
Does anyone know best way to transfer money from the UK to Cambodia? Thanks!

Thank you man, I appreciate it. I don't see the retirement regulations changing. After all, it's one of the main reasons Cambodia has a lot of older expats because of how easy it is.
I like it because it's so chilled out here and inexpensive compared to western countries!
If married to a Cambodian but could retire but want to opena small business with wifes name on land..all..What is the best vusa longterm eith annual renewals? Price per?
The ER extension is the one you need to retire. It's available for $300 per year, multiple entry, and the only requirement is that you're 55 years old or more.
seim reap is my first option
It's interesting.
What a difference between a tourist visa and ordinary visa ?
Tourist Visa can't be converted to any other type of visa and can only be extended once.
GREAT INFO DAVE REGARDS

Whats the best visa service to use in Siem Reap to get the retirement visa, I know you talked about the price for fast service, but i cant seem to find that video, thanks
I recommend Sopheak Na Travel. They speak good English and are always up to date on rules and regulations.

Thanks for the sub!
The 3 months I stayed in Cambodia the most horrendous thing I kept seeing was older western men with young Camer boys on back of there motorbikes, or walking with them ! Im talking 12-13 year olds, my Cambodian friends would sometimes piont them out in disgust.
