Who wants to bet this will come with a retirement visa requiring proof of income and minimum bank balance?

Yes, But I'll place my bets on the fact that the people working in the Land Management office and everywhere else that one has to deal with, will keep up with the reputation of Cambodia as one of the most corrupt countries.

Sorry, but I cannot see any problems with whatever rules.

My fear is that Frank Lee Bent's assessment is spot
on. For those of us who have been long term retirees living and supporting our families on Social Security checks this does not augur well at all.

I have been saying this since the new rules concerning wp came into effect

My take;
it will be just like Thailand, and a combo method will be allowed and than all you need to know is how to use adobe

I see you offer no alternative scheme from your position of "butthurt in Sihanoukville" but then your vast experience drinking 50 cent beers probably hasn't left you able to. I wish you a good day espousing your brilliance as "more experienced in Cambodia and indeed failure" than others.

My,my. Seems you get a bit touchy or as you put it "butthurt" if someone doesn't accept a statement you make as gospel. Pretty fukn pathetic to attack the man not the argument though. Particularly as you are completely wrong about me. But I couldn't give a rats arse what a know it all, trumped up wanker like you or your mate logos think. About anything really.
Have a really GREAT day

If you ever develop an argument in your pit of stupidity, I'd be happy to debate it. But there was no argument was there? So the man is all that's left to play.

Exactly, I think that a lot of retirees have been waiting for something like this. Now to see what unfolds ...
It will be something along the lines of - own $100,000 USD worth of property in the Kingdom and qualify for a 5 or a 10 year visa (which can be renewed immediately it expires with a similar visa).

The property will be poorly made and massively over-priced

and still too far from decent medical care to make it attractive to most retirees and unaffordable to the majority who might be interested but are attracted to Cambodia for the cost of living. So, I'd contain the excitement - those who could spend the money would be better off doing so in Thailand or Malaysia and getting the healthcare to go with it; this will end up being a scheme for money laundering Chinese and Koreans...

Actually if you compare a property in OZ , made of untreated pine [ that termites love ] and jib board lining, to a brick and mortar
structure [ covered in tiles ] in Cambodia, you can then decide which one is poorly made.

As for health care , would you prefer to wait in line several months in Australia or wait just hours at the airport to go to Vietnam , Thailand or Malaysia.

The trouble is with that argument is that you're assuming that you can wait several hours for healthcare - have a stroke or a heart attack and it's the response time that matters. Yes, you can opt to die in a Cambodian hospital (or even the floor outside of one where someone's scared friends dump the person because they have no insurance) but if you're rushed to the hospital in Australia with one of those conditions - you'll be seen immediately as you would be in Thailand or in Malaysia.

As for construction? No idea about Australia but my last home in England was over 400 years old and it seemed pretty fucking solid compared to the average Khmer project.

Ah, a single position of failure of care extrapolated to cover the entire Australian system? You're so fucking stupid that you probably sit on the TV watching the couch all night long.
