Primary Exports | clothing, timber, rubber, rice, fish, tobacco, footwear |
Residency and Visa Requirements | The country does not offer any extended visa specifically for retirees. Instead you can turn up at the airport unannounced and get a one-year visa, renewable at the end of the 12 months, on arrival. |
Special Benefits for Foreign Residents or Retirees | Requirements for a business or an employment visa in Cambodia can be quite lax. Again, working as little as a day or two per month (or less) or finding a local agent specializing in business visas can be all you need to obtain a longer-stay visa. |
