Questions linger about receiving retirement visa
Hello, all! I’m new here, so, please, be gentle I am selling off the mountains of STUFF I now own and plan to immigrate to PP in early May. I understand that I need the E visa and then must go (somewhere?) to get the R, by showing my Social Security documents and proof that I can support myself while in the country. Nowhere can I find information on how much money I must have in the bank to pass muster. Can anyone tell me? Also, must I maintain a high balance at all times? Am I supposed to have a criminal background check of some kind? Any help or advice you can give would be gratefully received. Thanks!

Re: Questions linger about receiving retirement visa
OP- if you haven't seen them already scroll below, there are a couple of recent topics under 'Similar topics' on the subject.
Summarised well in this post here: post567480.html#p567480
Edit: I'm not sure if there's a stated amount of how much income you need per month via pension/social security/money in the bank to qualify for a Retiree extension of stay if under 55 (I suspect it's discretionary). Hopefully some members here may know? Over 55 you don't need.
I've never heard of a police check requirement for that..

Another one moving to PP in May (also the cat lover). Waiting patiently for the good weather to stop so they can enjoy the humid haze of May/June.

Re: Questions linger about receiving retirement visa
For about the 10th time this month...
1. You must enter the country on an E-type (Ordinary) Visa, $35 on arrival, valid for 1 month, no passport pic required, no supporting documents required (for the majority of Nationalities).
2. Prior to your Visa expiry date, go to a Visa agency and apply for an Extension of Stay (EOS). There are different EOS categories available, the main ones are;
- EB (Business/Employment) EOS - 1,3,6,12 month options, can be renewed indefinitely
- ER (Retirement) EOS - 1,3,6,12 month options, can be renewed indefinitely
- ES (Student) EOS - 1,3,6,12 month options, can be renewed indefinitely
- EG (General) - 1,3 month options - 1 time deal, cannot be renewed in-country
- EP (Proposal - seeking employment/business opportunities) 1,3 month options - 1 time deal, can convert to EB EOS with the necessary supporting documentation.
Only 6 & 12 month options valid for multi-entry/exit.
Each EOS category has it's own supporting documentation requirements, but minimum requirements for all are;
- Valid passport with minimum 6 months validity remaining from the date the EOS will expire ie. If applying for 12 mth EOS, you need at least 18 months validity remaining on your passport
- Minimum 2x blank Visa pages in passport
- 1x Passport pic
- Completed EOS application form (most agents will complete on your behalf)
- FPCS details screenshot
For the ER (Retirement) EOS:
- If aged 55+ and applying via a Visa agency, no additional supporting documentation is required
- If aged under 55 and applying via a Visa Agency, proof of retirement and sufficient funds are required
- If applying directly via the DoI, the supporting documentation requirements are extensive and strict
* There is no published figure indicating what constitutes sufficient funds, however many reports from people showing monthly income of $500 USD p/mth, or $6k in a bank account, as been sufficient.
**No requirement to maintain minimum funds in a bank account.
***There are no Criminal Record Check requirements.
Costs if applying via a Visa agency (price depends on agency and location);
- 1 mth EOS = $45 - 55
- 3 mth EOS = $70 - 90
- 6 mth EOS = $150 - 170
- 12 mth EOS = $270 - 300
There is no standard processing time, average is 7-10 business days, but you should allow up to 14 business days, anything less is a bonus. If you need it quickly, you can pay an additional $70 - 100 for express processing (next day) when applying via a Visa Agency.
*You also can apply for your EOS directly at the Department of Immigration (DoI) Visa Office in Pochentong, Phnom Penh, but only if you have all of the necessary supporting documentation, which they are very strict about. Official fee for a 12 month EOS applying directly is $180.
