Cost Of Living in Cambodia 2023 | You won't believe Siem Reap is this cheap!

Рет қаралды 29,440

In this video, I’ll explain what we spend on living in Siem Reap, Cambodia as a couple, and I’ll also break it down so you can see what the same lifestyle would cost for a single person. I’ll explain how I arrived at the costs for each of the items so you can adjust them based on your preferences and lifestyle.
After I go through the monthly cost of living expenses, I’ll make a projection of how it all adds up for a year so you can look at what it costs annually if that’s your preference. I’ll include what we think is a reasonable amount to bring to cover your startup costs and give you an all-in amount that will cover absolutely everything for your time here in the Kingdom.
All of the amounts here are in US dollars. Please use a site like xe.com to get an accurate real-time conversion if you prefer to see the amount in another currency.

EB visa $300 But now it is not sufficient. You also need a work permit $300 And many other documents $50 ++ So the annual visa cost to stay in Cambodia as of 2023 is about $700

@ForRiel Жыл бұрын

@@dongshengdi773 I guess it depends whether your employer will pay for the work permit.

@dongshengdi773 Жыл бұрын

@@ForRiel Note that if you're not working , if you're retired living in Cambodia, an EB visa is not sufficient. You won't be allowed to stay in Cambodia with just an EB visa, you will be forced to also get a work permit. An agent will handle the paper works for a fee . Total cost would roughly be about $700

I live in Kampot and rent a 2 bedroom, double story villa about 1.5km up the river going toward Sabay beach, i have a lovely big balcony i love to sit on. My rent is around US$340 a month with electricity, water with a small charge for rubbish collection. I buy all my vegetables, fruit, meat and seafood from the great market here.

Great information Claire. Thank you so much. Some of these things I already knew from living there in Siem Reap before. But seeing new information from a different perspective is always welcome and useful. I’m afraid that at my age now, ( 72 later this year). And pre-existing conditions….quadruple cardiac artery bypass…. That any insurance I might find would cost so much, that I would have to be independently wealthy. I may have to just do without health insurance. I AM covered for six months out of country by my Greenshield from my previous 30 years with my employer. Excellent coverage. But after six months, or 180 days…..I would be on my own. Thank you Claire and Jeremy. Best wishes to you both. 👏🏼🙏🏼☸️🙂🌴🌴🌴✈️

@ForRiel Жыл бұрын

I think if you have some funds behind you, it's almost like self-insurance. It really does become more difficult with age and pre-existing issues, but in some ways, those two factors make a person more determined to get the most out of whatever time they have. I guess you have to weigh up the risk vs the reward. All the best. 😊

I am sure that there must be others in our situation. Love to read on how they get around to shop and sightsee? When in Siem Reap I used the Tuk Tuks which I found incredibly efficient, value for money, and great to see the world go by without a worry ...used the motorbike-taxi service once and needed a few Valiums to recover from the experience!

5:30 ... Sorry to interrupt BUT ... don't worry about ceilings having much, if any, effect on your AC bill. If you're a baby boomer then you'll likely remember when supermarket freezers had no top on them. You reached into them and grabbed your ice cream with no door or lid to open. that's cause cold air falls and hot air rises. If your refrigerator at home had no top of any kind, you'd be shocked at how little effect this would be on your bill.

Thanks so much for the excellent & detailed video. I'm seriously thinking about moving to Siem Reap with my teenage daughter in a couple of months. We have been living in Bali for the past 2 years & I've met quite a few people recently who have had amazing things to say about Cambodia. This was a super helpful place to start my research. I'm sure I'll probably go through all of the rest of your videos now...lol! 😁

Are you feeling like it's time to move on from Bali? Cambodia is great and we love it here, but it isn't for everyone. I'd suggest coming for a visit if you can first. 🍍🙏😁

I've lived in Bali for 6.5 yrs all together but it's become so busy, overbuilt & overpriced. The vibe has changed so much & it's really hard to meet people and build community. Cambodia is looking like it's much more our speed. Also, the visa situation in Bali is constantly changing and it's a really expensive visa if you want to stay longer. What is the long term expat community like there?

Great video Claire thanks for the tip on insurance can be very hard to decide on a company not knowing how trustworthy they are in covering the costs if needed.

@ForRiel Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching, Graham! I was glad to find that insurance so that we could stop looking - not my favourite thing to do. :)

such a good video, highly informative, I am deciding between The Philippines and Cambodia for retirement, knowing these numbers certainly helps a lot with the decision. Thank you for sharing.

Glad you found it useful. I hope you can arrive at a decision soon - if you have the funds, the best way is to visit both and stay for a month or so. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for sharing the detailed cost, I’ve been living in Chiang Mai since June 2022, Plan on visiting Siem Reap within the next month to visit and see if I may want to move there. Your cost of living will be helpful in me making a decision

That's great, thanks for watching. There are a lot of parallels between Chiang Mai and Siem Reap, so you will prove it here!

Cost of living is extremely hard to judge, but we think that's a good amount to live comfortably here. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

@@ForRiel Yes, but your numbers give a good idea of the monthly costs (some will have more beer costs, others more rental costs like me, but it is a choice.... i didn't see the work permit cost? (yearly)

I hate The Stereotype but I'm quite pleased this woman is a teacher she looks like a teacher she sounds like a teacher like this is what you expect like they say stereotype but very nice easy-to-follow video but go figure it's made by a teacher so. Excellent excellent video very helpful and straightforward and not an hour long

That's very kind of you! We don't have a cost of living video for Phnom Penh, but there is an apartment tour video from our place there. I think Ryan over at Itchy Feet (see description of this video for a link to his channel) has a very thorough cost of living video for Phnom Penh.
