If I didn't know I would swear you were talking about Thailand.

I think this is a little misleading for Phnom Penh: the majority of the good quality furnished 2 bedroom 'Westernised' apartments in Phnom Penh's better areas (e.g. BKK1) were 1300 - 2000 USD on a rolling monthly rental. Electricity was invariably 25 - 30c per kWh. Places are very poorly insulated so my electricity was 350 USD a month. And in all my travels across multiple continents I have never seen such expensive imported goods (as a typical example, the cheapest tin of canned tomatoes I have seen after shopping around is 1.40 USD). I know you can live much cheaper, but I'm frankly disappointed by how much more expensive that comfortable western living is Phnom Penh compared to other countires in the region.

Thanks very much for the realistic figures of major expenses, Allen. Very helpful, when considering moving to a low-cost destination like Cambodia. Getting sick of overpriced Vancouver, BC.

You live there, and yet you cannot say the name correctly? THE 1ST P IS SILENT.

Allen in asian unexpectedly a top youtube channel discovery. Thx allen!

It is true, unfortunately there are also criminal activities of scammers in Cambodia, the Cambodian police are increasingly looking for hidden calcenters, internationally Cambodia is the stronghold of scammers. Cambodia is a beautiful country. But you should still be careful, just like in any other country.

Hey Allen. New subscriber here. I’ve been enjoying your videos and honest approach in your recommendations. I’m from America and I’m now retired and living here in Siem Reap. I just renewed my ER retirement visa going on year #2 now. I love it here. I was wondering if I could meet you sometime at the Red Piano on Pub Street? Drinks are on me. 😎

Honest, genuine, simple and straightforward. Perfect!

Older guys like me have it made in the longterm visa department. If you’re 55 or older it’s only $$290 for a 1-year ER retirement visa through any travel agency. No financial requirements.

Thank you very much Allen your informations, they are very clear, and very well explained. You help me organise my trips, and maybe enjoy a retired happy life 🙏

Hi is there popular website with real people and not so much bot that girl use most often can you shared please

A cesspool of heat, humidity, outrageous dee points. If you like swimming in sweat sure

With bloggers bragging about the place won't take long to make it a crowded mess as well as jack up the rents. Never fails..

lol, like the openly racist policies being discussed, got to be a while skinned individual for the best treatment

Yes they want a better live but who doesn't

there is no way I can live without aircon

where I live in the Philippines expenses are $520 a month 2 bedroom house $80 a month. Labuan, Malaysia is the cheapest but you can't retire there. they don't allow immigration

How is it 542$ for a visa. More details. Internet is just confusing when I google.

how the fuck is this cheap

thx sir. this answered all my questions. new sub

I got 2 x online E-type visas last week from the website. There are places to upload supporting documents but I didn't bother. They issued it anyway for both me (British) and my Thai wife. We will extend to either 6 or 12 months. The Ordinary visa is the E-Type visa - as printed on the visa. Took 3 days with zero supporting documents uploaded. Reason for visit : Want to rent apartment, maybe buy one later.....

Online visa is a nightmare😱. Horrible site, from filling in to payment. Plus if you need any help they never reply back to your emails.

Yeah.. keep going mate you'll have half the poms in England wanting to live here 😢

If i end up wearing that shirt, i dint care how cheap it is.

Is there separate pricing for tourists? In places like Costa Rica they have "Gringo" pricing, where the price the exact same food or services higher because you aren't a local.

it is safe and so beautiful country .i was there last year so amazing. I planning go back again

How is the local beef in SR?

Thanks for sharing all the good, practical information.

you should make a video explaining that if you plan to marry a cambodian woman you have to pay a dowry to the family in order to marry her which i think is nonesense but its their culture i guess

Great video. Very helpful.

Actually, it hasn’t been called the “Business Visa” for a while now. It’s now the “Ordinary Visa” which in reality is the “E-Class Visa” not to be confused with an online “eVisa” and this is the ONLY type of visa you can turn into the 1-year “ER Retirement Visa” so arrive in Cambodia without a visa and after you get off the plane have $35 in US currency to pay for your “Ordinary Visa.” After a week, go to any Travel Agency and tell them you want to extend your “E Visa” into a 12-month “ER Visa.” They will ask you your age. As long as you’re 55 or older, you’re okay and fully qualified to get it. The cost is usually $290 and there is NO supporting documentation needed. No income qualifying. No bank deposit back home qualifying. No health certificate or police background check needed. Once you pay, they will contact you to let you know when to come back to pick up your passport with your new 12-month “ER Retirement Visa” sticker inside. NOTE: You can walk into the Immigration office to get your “ER Retirement Visa” for a lot less than $290 but it must be filled out exactly right or they will deny you AND they MAY ask for supporting documents proving income and perhaps other documents. Why take a chance?

But if I want to move there permanently you said business visa, but if I don’t open up a business there won’t I get kicked outta the country or they just word visas this way? I also saw a video once if u get a one way ticket and arrive get your place set up and OR a round trip ticket you don’t need to ever leave just stay I think this is possible or am I wording this wrong, This guy bought a round trip ticket and never left he was able to stay Thanks

I've never had a Cambodian treat me different because of my skin color. Its based on your passport and personality.

Hi, excellent video! Question, are visa regulations same for all countries? Asking for Serbia, our closest embassy is in Jakarta.

Welcome ❤

In Asia they treat all animals like shit. Far worse than in the United Sattes

Allen, try not to eat that cat

are you married with local now? What is the process of getting marriage certificate?

Thank you for this video. Plan on arriving in July to stay long term. As you probably know a quick google search was not definitive in any way. Outdated info, sites vying to broker the process etc etc.. Your video was concise and answered the questions I had (most specifically the proper visa to get to transition to a retirement visa). Liked it so much I subscribed.

He probably doesn't know what the finger means. 😂😂😂😂😂 he probably think it was cool. Plus, he was holding something in that hand. I'll be interested to know what the little kid is trying to say with that sign. 😅😅😅😅

What about the pesticides used on local vegetables? Got any information on that?

Hi there, great video! Is the EB Visa considered a Permanent Residence permit? If not, is there a pathway to one in Cambodia? TIA!

There are cheaper countries! Try Africa? Or Bangladesh!

if under 55yr but have all docs for pensions from govermnent can still get that visa?

‘Everyone can speak pretty good English’ that is not true, or maybe the few non English speakers follow me around and shapeshift. $100 for health insurance, really? If you want decent cover and are not in your 20s or 30s $400 is more like it.

Honest

yes some reasonable sounding long term visa options for retiring expats, but I read fine print now about Cambodia taxing foreigners income if they are in country for more than 182 days in a year. How does that work? Is every expat just lying or ignoring the taxation or is it just not being enforced?

Great Info ℹ️ Buddy 😊glad I found your video 🙏

Is it safe ?

Would you say Cambodia is a quiet or noisy country?
