For those seniors considering retiring to Asia always factor in $400 - $700/month for FULL healthcare coverage vs. your home country's plan. (e.g. MediCare in the USA $185/mo).
One of my bank accounts (Charles Schwab) reimburses my ATM fees. I get money from that account and then deposit it into my ABA account. Thank you for your comment and for watching !!!!
There is one bank in Cambodia that pays 7+% in interest monthly. Someone here in Cambodia recommended that bank to me. She said a Cambodian American individual deposited $500,000 + and earned around $5000 monthly. I am going to find out more about that bank.
Great information ackon and I would just add a good Khmer GF / wife can actually bring the costs down (or at least not increase the cost of a single guy by much) as she’s going to always get the best deal at the food market , she will know all the tricks and tips to get the best price for most things including rent and household appliances etc …
If I'm broke, I'll be heading to stay with the monks for free room and board. All I need to do is to spend some my free time teaching them English. Also, if we could travel, eat, and sleep like locals, we can stretch our mighty $$$ much further. Most the locals still live with a few bucks a day. There are always options as life is short to do the things we don't love doing. Sharing is caring. Peace ✌️
@@sokpeaoky8852 There are some people who came from the farms to stay there with the monks. I grew up in Phnom Penh way back in the 60s and I knew a lot of them came from the farms and stayed at the temples while they went to schools because they couldn't afford for the rents or they didn't know anyone!
Thanks for the vid, very interesting. Your new apartment looks great. Spoiler alert.... His total in this video was around $900. It's for 2.5 people (he + GF + small kid). His budget in his previous vid (as a single person) was also ~ $900. He eats/ cooks more at home now (vs more meals out before) and I think the cost for drinks was less this time so the budget remained almost the same.
@@AutumninAsia yup, kinda funny but I know that it's perfectly doable. In SE Asia, if you cook your own food it will save a lot on expenses. That's how most locals do it. Btw, can you do more moto or vlogs to nearby towns or cities? Also walking tours - but on the walking vids my suggestion is to show more of the place vs your face (common mistake of RUclipsrs). We already know how you look like. 😁 Cheers & safe travels!
I can't speak for PP but I do know some things are more costly there. Your costs will vary to fund your way of living. Your wants, needs, and desires. $2200.00 should be plenty unless you like the best of the best. Thank you for watching my videos !!
Thanks great hear about living costs. As I’m here in Australia, I’m 63 having a hard time trying to get a job. Cos no one wants to give older people work. I call it age discrimination . Pension age here for me is 67 & a half . As I’m on my own now thinking of selling every thing I own which is a pain, or having to give stuff away. It’s a big deal starting life in a new country at my age too. But will see how thing go in this coming year.
Thank you for liking the video. My internet is free and comes with the apartment. My cell card for my phone is about $6 a month. Thank you for your comment !!
Thx for your video - what do you think a good budget range (total) is for a single male who doesn’t drink or smoke or .. much of anything really - pretty boring here lol.
Depends on what you are comfortable with. A $150mo apartment or a $600mo one? That goes for your other needs, wants, and desires. But I easily can live for under $1000. The 2 biggest costs can be your apartment and what kind of food you want/need. Thanks for watching !!
@@AutumninAsiayeah thanks. I did a pretty accurate budget today and came to about 1000 and your video helped me. One problem - big potential expense is health insurance. But I even have a line item in there for it @$150 - and also guessed the visa about $25mo. Amazed you can survive the heat without ac - does your landlord charge .25 per kWh? That’s how they make money and lots of them also skim electricity from you and it goes elsewhere.
G'day mate , was surprised your expenses were very similar to mine except when my kids show up lol , yes I let the misses do the shopping for fruit n veggies n meat , but don't really spend a great deal on drinks except when we go out , I think $40 twice a month is OK for me , good to see I'm in the ball park lol cost wise , Catchya ...😊
Hoping to come there soon. Was your beautiful apartment furnished are you provided the furniture? I will only be staying for a couple of months so I'm looking for a fully furnished, one bedroom apartment. Hopefully we can cross paths.
Well, that is a good question. Right off the bat most of those items I couldn't tell you. I will make it a point to jot down some prices next time I go to the western market. Thank you for your comment and have a great day !!!
Quite simply the Immigration laws and policies. Cambodia is the easiest without having to have so much money in their bank, or a certain amount of income, no 3-month reporting< etc... Just enter in the country under an "O" visa and within about 2 weeks go to a travel agency and apply for a 12 month visa. They will do the paperwork (takes about 10 min.) and they will send your Passport to Phnom Penh and within 10 days you are ggo to go. A 12-month visa costs $280 + $10 for the agency fee. Very easy Thanks for watching the video !!!
Hey Kelly, hope you are feeling better!! Can you please advise: as a US citizen coming from US who wants to live in SR for at least one year -- arriving at the airport, getting the 30 day visa, I need to show a departure ticket out of Cambodia at customs. Is it best to book a ticket to Thailand, e.g., before departing the US, or how do most expats manage that proof of departure from Cambodia upon first arriving at customs. Thank you!! All best to your sweet family.
Myself and no one I know comes to Cambodia and has a return ticket. Be sure to get an "O" visa upon arrival, not a Tourist visa. Just tell immigration that you plan on staying for 12 months. After about 2 weeks, go to a travel agent and they can help you with your 12-month visa. they will send your passport to PP and in about 10 days you will get it back, which Cost @$290. Thank you for your well wishes and yes, I am feeling better !!
@@AutumninAsia , thank you for this pro tip, Kelly, I had complete misinformation!! You have provided so much relief in my mind, and I very much appreciate you sharing a simple and clear path to stay local. You are a gemstone, thank you for your time and wisdom!! 😃
I hear all kinds of stories about which is cheaper. From what I can gather, it all depends on where you want to live and how you want to live. Needs and desires would play a big role in what would be cheaper. Have a great day !!!
@there - Thailand is more pricey than VN or Cambodia, because the Thai baht is stronger (and it's more advanced than Cam or VN). I think TH is at par with Malaysia re: cost. For his lifestyle, minimum would be $1500 maybe. (His total for Cambodia was ~900). I think Cambodia has almost the same price as Vietnam. One can live on $1000 or less (not lavish but not scrimping). It depends on your lifestyle & whether you want to live near the sea, near mountains, etc and ease of visas, I guess. Also, Vietnamese are usually more pushy than Cambodians. VN has no retirement visa. Expats there arrive on a 3-month tourist visa & do a visa run every 3 months (or get an agency to do it). There are many expats in Danang, Nha Trang (esp Russians), Dalat (mountains). Best would be to visit & try for yourself. (I've visited the 3 countries all more than once.)
My mom has copd. Wondering how much spiriva would be there? Maybe I can figure out how to get ahold of a pharmacy before getting there. She would just want to visit for a few months at a time. So maybe buy meds once or twice while there.
My advice is to go on Google Maps and look for Pharmacies. Many of them have websites and respond in English. I hope that helps and thanks for watching !!
@@AutumninAsiayikes, cheaper for family than single… is it because of lower the housing cost and??? Amazing Khmer woman that knows great deals???What else??? We have a family of four … likely lots more…
@@mimibigdy1917 I think the factors involved are: 1) I don't spend as much on rent. 2) The saving by having a Khmer woman do most of the shopping. 3)I don't order delivery food as much, and 4) I stay home much more.
Hello Kelly…. I hope you and the family are well. Thankyou for the video. What was the name of the hospital that you like? And where is it? Dave…of Dave in Cambodia lives in a $50 a month apartment with his girlfriend . Living a very simple life. My apartment in Siem Reap in 2017 was $100 a month. Nice and clean, furnished, with a large bathroom . Thank you and take care. 🙂 👏🏼 👍🏼 🇰🇭 🌴 🌴 🌴 ☸️
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I was not pleased to hear about the separate prices charged to foreigners vs. natives. In addition, did I miss anything about health insurance? How is it obtained and what is the average cost? I have heard that if you are over 65, reasonably priced coverage is difficult to impossible to obtain.
Health insurance is a tricky subject because of so many variables. Although, I did talk about it a bit in this video: ruclips.net/video/9H2Kq6lufU8/видео.html I hope that helps and thank you for your comment.
@@AutumninAsia Thank you for your reply. In all honesty, unless I could get reasonably priced international insurance at the age of 65 or 66 that was accepted there (note the number of "ifs" baked into that sentence), it sounds as if Cambodia would be too much a roll of the dice for me.
@@AutumninAsia Yes just going with the flow and enjoying life. Been out in Ubon Ratchathani working on some farm projects. Looks like your life is going well
My desire is for a small frugal studio (maybe 250 sf = 23 - 25 sq. m) easy to clean & cheap to cool w/ac most of the time ? --- My thinking being most people don't want that ''small'' so perhaps they will be more plentiful ? For me - less is more & I'm a happy camper. --- Frugal doesn't mean I want to give up 'comfort' ! I want to give up the expense !!! --?-- Are they available for the $100 -- $120 price range - '''nobody ever mentions''' ? - - - Any advise ? > Dave (in Cambodia) - is supposed to look (?) - as several of us are interested - he will try to film some for us. > $50 -- $120 RANGE.
My advice to you is to go on IPS website and look at what they have to offer.They don't have many in your price range but you can get a nice studio apartment for about $150ish. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching my videos !!
@@AutumninAsia I like your videos -- Dave said many don't advertise in that price range - you have to walk around and look and ask the locals. Signs on the property and word of mouth apparently ? -- That's likely why we don't see many ? + Most people don't want tiny. > Keep em coming !!!
What ID and deposit do you need to open a Cambodian Bank account ATM Card if you are visiting but hope to move I’d rather have this all set up before I get there Thank You
You will need a visa that is valid for at least 6 months (or 12). I do believe if I remember correctly is that you will need to deposit at least $10. I hope that helps 😃
Greetings! I would like to know from you the following please: Is it true that in order for a foreigner to marry a local Cambodian woman one has to have an income of a total of $1500.00 US per month? Thank you.
I'm a homebody and don't go out much other than to travel and make videos. As for Transportation, I own my own Motobike (@$1500.00). But if you are not comfortable with a moto, Transpo is cheap. You can get just about anywhere in town for about $3.00. Passapp is like Uber and very affordable. My girlfriend takes care of me and the household. For me that is enough. Thanks for watching the videos !!
@@AutumninAsiawow, that's very cheap for a family of 2.5 (I consider the kid 0.5, lol). You must be cooking most of your food & not eating out much. The vloggers "For Riel" had a budget double to that, in their latest COL vid. But then they said they often eat out & travel too. (In their budget, they estimated that a single person will spend ~ $900 for that standard of living.) Btw, based on prices of some goods (sugar & potatoes, I didn't get the others, lol) Cambodia prices are lower than those in PH (assuming both are "wet market" prices). Cheers!
@@Charlie-phlezk Yes. Cambodia is very safe and affordable and you're treated best for your bucks. My wife and I can live with less than $2,000 a month there comfortably. Have a good day, PT✌️
Sorry about that, I have been under the weather lately. My Wi-Fi is free, included in the rent which is quite normal. I use Smart for my Cell Card and that costs me $6mo. Totals... Single $950 Family $850 Thank you for the comment and also for watching the videos !!!

How did you manage to choose to retire in Cambodia over Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia?
Quite simply the Immigration laws and policies. Cambodia is the easiest without having to have so much money in their bank, or a certain amount of income, no 3-month reporting< etc...

A 12-month visa costs $280 + $10 for the agency fee. Very easy

I would like to know from you the following please:
Is it true that in order for a foreigner to marry a local Cambodian woman one has to have an income of a total of $1500.00 US per month?
Thank you.
Yes there is a minimum income requirement but I don't know how much that is.
Thanks for watching the video !!!!
what is internet wifi like in siem reap like please ?x
I just checked and I have 31 down and 77 up.
Mostly all day long it's good. I will have some temp outages but only for a few minutes or so.
What about entertainment?
Transportation?
How much does the wify put in the monthly budget?
I really don't get men that pay for everything.
I'm a homebody and don't go out much other than to travel and make videos.
As for Transportation, I own my own Motobike (@$1500.00). But if you are not comfortable with a moto, Transpo is cheap. You can get just about anywhere in town for about $3.00. Passapp is like Uber and very affordable.
My girlfriend takes care of me and the household. For me that is enough.
Thanks for watching the videos !!
Wow beef at 8 dollars per pound!! I'll be on a beef free diet once I'm there!!
I think I meant to say $8 a Kilo.
Thank you for watching !
Were you a DJ?
Yes, I was. Not for long though. Thanks for watching !!!
You didn't give us a total.
Under $900mo.
Not bad !!!
@@AutumninAsiawow, that's very cheap for a family of 2.5 (I consider the kid 0.5, lol). You must be cooking most of your food & not eating out much. The vloggers "For Riel" had a budget double to that, in their latest COL vid. But then they said they often eat out & travel too. (In their budget, they estimated that a single person will spend ~ $900 for that standard of living.)
Btw, based on prices of some goods (sugar & potatoes, I didn't get the others, lol) Cambodia prices are lower than those in PH (assuming both are "wet market" prices). Cheers!
Summary: affordable! Cheers bong.
Glad to see you here!
Thank you very much !!
@@KhmerMinnesnowta somehow RUclips didn't show me your comment haha
@@Charlie-phlezk Yes. Cambodia is very safe and affordable and you're treated best for your bucks. My wife and I can live with less than $2,000 a month there comfortably. Have a good day, PT✌️
Which part of Cambodia do u live in ? How's the climate?
I was waiting for this you didn't good job no Wi-Fi end cell phone plus your total when you was single anyway have a good day thank you🎉🎉🎉
Sorry about that, I have been under the weather lately.
My Wi-Fi is free, included in the rent which is quite normal.
I use Smart for my Cell Card and that costs me $6mo.
Totals... Single $950 Family $850
Thank you for the comment and also for watching the videos !!!
