Not as pathetic as your idiotic comments to Bubble T.

Exactly. The article is pretty silly. I mean I guess it's fine if you want to work here remotely for 1-6 months or something, but it isn't straightforward past that.Bubble T wrote:There isn't a long term visa that remote workers can legally and reliably get without breaking the rules, nor is there a coherent system in place for them to be able to pay their taxes.
This is why, as a remote worker with a family seeking long term stability, I had to make the decision to leave Cambodia. Hard to see how they could omit this kind of info from their article.

Digital nomads......unless sponsored by a Cambodia registered company or have registered as their own business entity with a tax patent number are not legally able to work in Cambodia or receive an EB visa extension.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 11:46 amWell, the article references digital nomads not long term forigen residents.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 11:27 amExactly.

Not sure how credible this is... With the constant interruption and cut off internet access has been very frustrating...
Imagine in the middle of a con-call team meeting and having to keep rejoin and disconnect, rejoin and disconnect for the 30mins fixed schedule.
Especially evening, it gets worse... So how is it Cambodia is much better? When in SG, TH and MY i have been to, no drop in connectivity...
Not to mention about cut off of electricity during raining...

Re: Is Cambodia a Paradise for Digital Nomads ?
I've done it, it's possible but you need several backup systems. A broken laptop can break your business here unless you're prepared to cough up money, set up a new one, and go back to work again. You need power backup and possibly 4g backup for your connection.
Visa are a major hassle now (have been for years actually). Nomads are not legally employed so EB extensions are not available unless you cheat. If you're over fifty you can go for a retirement visa but most nomads will be too young for that. That means coming and going to get new visa which is a no go at the moment. Cambodia was nomad's heaven until four years ago. Now it's no longer the case.

Depends on the job. If you're day-trading maybe, but a digital nomad can also be a graphic designer or some other job that doesn't require amazing internet for instant feedback.Kammekor wrote:I've done it, it's possible but you need several backup systems.
