How Easy is it to move to Cambodia?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

As a well traveled ex-pat, when I moved to Cambodia which was something all anew for my experience. I could have done with a service like this. I’m not entirely sure I would have gone to $600 (but that’s not the point). Starting new and learning and exploring and adventuring are all fabulous. If I had my time over again, I’d have probably availed of this service.

I applaud you @rozzieoz. And I hope it works out well for you. You definitely have an entrepreneurial spirit and I respect that.

Yes, but apparently a lot of South Africans have moved here and couldn't figure out how to buy water and ended up very dehydrated. 8-)

It is not a requirement to obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival, South Africans are officially eligible for the E-type VOA, however, many Saffers have experienced being denied an E-type VOA, and some even with an E-type e-Visa have experienced being denied entry on arrival. Another factor is the airlines, many are requiring Saffers to have a RETURN flight booking, visa and cash prior to being permitted to check-in....its a gamble for anyone travelling to Cambodia on an African passport, especially if darker skinned.
wow<<<
i still cant believe that Saffers will leave their county of birth to move to Cambodia in HOPES/DREAMS of landing a job teaching ( how many are truly qualified?) english and make enough to live on
and than get a job in any western country

maybe i am missing something
You really live up your name sometimes
Shouldn't we give Richard some degree of latitude, given that be must be around 80 years old?
That is an interesting point - but we take these things case by case. Some decline mentally around 70, some 80, some not at all. I’ve been blessed with Richard’s online presence for around 15 years. This is who he is.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

What's your native language? You don't seem to know English too well.

That writing style..
with new rambling statements punctuated with . or .. or ...
and of course a new line..
leading onto a new radom and unconnected statement..
seems familiar to another poster who is now banned...
cant remember their name but am sure someone here knows who...
I am referring to.

Just like any business, the service is not compulsory.
Many southern Africans leave home due to horrific trauma caused by crimes against them or someone they love. Many of them have PTSD and don't know who to trust in a new country.
If my service is useful for them, fantastic. If it's not your thing, then that's fine too.
