Were you working in Cambodia on their wages (as opposed to remotely for more money), and if so how is that like?

Working remotely for American wages. Local software devs might make $600/month. Won’t get more than $2000/month as a foreigner either.

There’s some tech NGOs that probably pay more, but I don’t know how much more.

How has the country changed while you were there?

Access to luxuries has increased. Skyscrapers continue to grow. Roads have gotten a lot better.

Two years of that has been covid where luck, circumstance, and hard work combined to leave Cambodia nearly unscathed. Now we’re one of the most vaccinated countries in the world and Phnom Penh is almost at 100%.

What's the visa situation look like there for digital nomads?

No visa on arrival currently, and you'll need an invitation from a company to get a business visa. Business visa can be extended if you have a friend who owns a real company pretend to employ you.

Wow cheers thanks for the advice, as chance has it this is in the possibility of arrangement
