Thanks for this helpful info. I so appreciate it.

Can I get the Ordinary Visa upon arrival and then convert it to a Retirement Visa within 30 days ?

Hi, this might peak your interest, Hanuman Films is looking to film in Cambodia. I just heard an interview of Nick Ray on The Diplomat on KZbin. May be this could lead you to your field of work. Hope you’re doing well.

The only danger in cambodia is when the western kiddy fiddlers turn up to prey on young poverty stricken kids,so the only danger is for the cambodians

Love watching your videos out of Cambodia---and now you're living the American nightmare. Can't you obtain retirement from Social Security? (obviously you have looked for that avenue but I had to write it--sorry!). I truly hope you find a way to resolve the trap and that you can somehow find a way to regain your wonderful life in Cambodia. Hope you can be hired online by a Cambodian firm and return. Your videos are very welcomed by me, after finding other videos about Cambodia yours is the most detailed without annoying advertising-style exuberance which is tiresome. Your soothing voice really helps a lot in detailing information. I hope your wonderful talents will find a place to return or live in the luxury you deserve.

Why do all these places require someone to be 55 or older to retire? What's the love affair with a certain age? Makes everything difficult for other people retired younger. It's very discriminatory.

Cambodia is not really a Homophobic country the President of Cambodia openly talk about this and praise LGBT 🏳️‍⚧️ communities how much they tribute to the country most of designer are LGBT

Good info Thanks ! 😊

Thanks,, I'm retired and once had a 10 year China Visa which was cancelled before term because of the Covid pandemic in 2020. Since then I'm back in the USA but not really happy here. Since China/ USA relations soured it doesn't look possible to return to China. Since I'm familiar with Southern China and Vietnam (because of exit-entry experience, I like Vietnam, but Cambodia may be easier for a long term Visa. But, I still have questions on how to get a Cambodia Visa within the USA where I live.. So, I'll have to listen to your podcasts to learn more on the beginning stages of acquiring a Visa to enter Cambodia. Still not clear on how to do this. Thanks for this podcast for it is helpful..

But the website says that to apply for E type you must have offer of work/business etc so how do you get around that? Im not working im retired. If i choose E the form asks for a whole bunch if documents such as invitation letter, patent cert, investment project, flight ticket in and out.

These are old fashioned customs som3 are carried on but moving forwa5d Khmer is looking to be more capitalist and less communist. Especially the youth population but you cam be old fashioned. People in america call it bible thumpers.

I'm currently doing an essay about Cambodia cuisine and this is a lot of help. Ty, appreciate it. Btw I'm a little bit confused about how Cambodians sit people on the dining table, can you explain it to me ?

I often joke that the only thing I miss about the US is the redwoods and In'n'Out burger! I'm looking forward to your trip to the Sequoias - take a big sniff of the "butterscotch" bark for me

Living after midnight my friend

Thank you so much for your video. Everything’s you said is accurate . I appreciate you so much brother.

It's a common expat experience to jump back to the familiar, then miss the new and return. Rinse and repeat. But it's all learning... about you, your preferences, the new country, and what you love and value most about the USA. I live in Ecuador as we speak and many who return to the US end up back or they explore new countries. There's no "right" way to do expat life. Thanks for your insights.

good luck 2 U

Well done

Here’s a question you’ve probably encountered before, but I’m wondering if there ‘s been an update.. Is there an age at which Cambodian law requires health insurance, r is it simply ‘highly recommended’?

I’m 36 about to turn 37 in a couple weeks and i feel like in not doing enough with my life, so i made the jump and I’m moving January 15th to Phnom Penh to teach English. Can’t wait to move there ❤

Great insights. I'm an expat living in Ecuador as we speak, thinking of a move to Cambodia. Expat life is not for everyone. When you talk to those who ditch expat life, it's all the things you mention...relationship disruption, can't get "stuff" you value, cultural weirdness (do they eat the head of the fried ginny pigs?), and weather. The heat and humidity are the remaining concerns. Share thoughts on police corruption (do they investigate crimes?) and where expats tend to get into trouble in Cambodia and Siem Reap. Cheers.

There may be exceptions in some markets, but in a lot of places the only realistic way to get a job is through a connection. Sending out resumes is utterly hopeless.

Cheers. I'm planning on moving to Cambodia.Thank you so much for your honest and genuine adviice about moving to another country with a different culture. We need more people like you vlogging. Enjoy your life. Maybe we will meet one day.

Sounds fun. You're ticking all the boxes! Hope to be out there sooner rather than later. Who knows, we may end up being a couple of AZ boys as neighbors;-) keep up the good work- G.

Cambodia is like most countries in that opportunist crime is common. Be smart and aware. Don't leave your phone on the table at a restaurant. Ask the locals about places and times to avoid. They know. Don't hit a massage place with a lot of money in your pocket.

you are fantastic your blog is super,I hope I can meet another vlog or blog again , Have good .

Go to Cambodia and find a teaching job . They pay like $700to $900 a month.

How can we get a hold of you?

You siem reap youtubers got me pumped for cambodia. I am looking forward to getting there maybe in next 4 years or sooner hopefully. Trying to do cambly but its not much pay even living as nomad. Still working on passing prop firm combine with topstep. I have a cat so i converted a cargo trailer to camper so we could survive. I was actually getting ready to fly to phillipines with cat and had tickets etc. then covid hit. So then i was forced to get an apartment again which i hated. My cat is 18 yo and i dont want to put her through trauma of flying so im with her till the end and then will go. Life does have unforseen changes and even if you do all of the right things , the Gods plan can be different.

The reasons why people are moving to Cambodia is are because of the followings: 1. Affordability: food, accommodation & transportation and everything is available . 2. Culture: rich, ancient and unique 3. People: friendliness, kindness, politeness and respect for foreigners and elderly 4. Visa & regulations: the world easiest, just go to agent and you get things done. 5. Landscape: Angkor Wat $ other 8000+ temples - to Phnom Penh (bustling capital city, and Sihanouk Ville), beaches (pristine and white af) to laid back town (Kampot, Kep & Battambang) to natural landscape in the northeast. 6. Integration: Cambodia is one of easiest to integrate or blend into. 7. Languages: Everyone speak basic/communicative English. People also speak Chinese. National language is Khmer. 8. Business & Growth: Cambodia is one of the world fastest growing economies, and it is very easy to start a business. 9. Cheap Labor: you actually can have a house maid for just $250 monthly.

Scams happen in every country, not just Cambodia but Thailand and Vietnam.

Hey Bill, so finally it's going to be indeed a car living for you. 😢 I described to your new channel. Now I'm wondering, why can't you live out of your car in cambodia? Or would be a lot cheaper or is that not true? Or even a $150 or cheaper cambodia hotel room? I will be there from the beginning of February and still would offer you a bedroom when I have found my little 2 room house around kampot. 😊. Never forgot you have a friend here❤. For now I wish you all the best that this world can offer you. Enjoy the concert (or if you need money; sell the ticket). And I'm looking forward to following you and your new channel. I send you lots of love and blessings ❤😊

I've liked and subscribed too, thank you for the update. Wishing you all the best! I'm not offering advice, and maybe you answered this somewhere else. You seem like you'd be an excellent English teacher. I'm sure you've thought about it. Do you mind sharing why you chose not to teach English abroad? Thank you and take care! Look forward to more videos on your new channel.

For someone at your age, not married or have kids to be in the position you are in is not good bro. Why not find a warehouse or security type job, rent a cheap room somewhere and save to make a decent life in Cambodia? Just thinking out loud.

Liked and subscribed.

Great video. Thank you. The shared map is great idea and very useful. I'll be using it for the first month I'm in SR. Lots of good pins! :)

Life has a way of throwing us curve balls. Don't give up, keep swinging. Have you considered looking for a company in your home country that is seeking someone with your skill set to represent them in SE Asia? I don't know where to tell you to look specifically for these companies but they're out there. Call center management, manufacturing, banking and investment firms are possibilities. Good luck.

I am 76 and seven years comfortably retired in Cambodia after a long professional career in the US. I often worry about what younger guys like you are going to do later in life without savings or retirement income.

Im 60 yrs old and my wife is 49 can I get both of us on the retirement visa she is dependent upon my income

Any thoughts on teaching english so you can stay in country...........

Might see you at quartzite if im here. just a a few personal questions to see if there are available options for you.. Do u smoke cigarettes, do u have any addictions and if u do which ones. would you be willing to get a police report to see if your record is clean? im asking because I have a two bedroom 1 hour away from Bakersfield in California in the mountains 3000 ft above sea level.Very Quiet.. I might be looking for a home sitter for the few months I would be gone.??

Did you go to X bar if so what is the vibe?

I have been doing vanlife for 5 years I have no bills and stacking money in my bank. It's the only reason I can afford to go to Cambodia 🇰🇭 Try vanlife bro

Keep your chin up! Good luck.

Nice video, Bill. I learned a lot from going to expat bars. Job vacancies, visa agents, where to find things, etc. There are some real idiots on the Facebook and Reddit pages, so I only use them as a last resort.

Good to see you back, Bill. Cambodia, if you are undisciplined, can chew you up and spit you out. I've been here for a year now, and it's a real double edged sword.

cheap r living on utube brings living in ur car top notch. Many van car dwellers have utube channels.

Chatgbt. Study it. Embrace it.
