I am lpanning on retiring to Siem Reap in a couple of months.  Is there internet service available in the English language?

I want to relocate to Siem Reap.   I am curriently retired and living in Guatemala.   I have read and heard that upon arrival in Cambodia, a one year business visa, renewable every three months, is available.  Can anyone confirm this?

oldsarge

Rudolph, thank you for the information.  I also understand that I can arrive in CAmbodia, without a visa and be allowed to enter.  When I arrive at the immigration/passport officer, is this when I request the business visa?

Rudolf, thank you for the information.   It is very helpful.   As for another question...  Can I trust a local real estate agent in helping me find a suitable rental house?   I am worried that they will guide me to the crime neighborhoods, or lead me to the extra expensive rental houses.

Thank you.

Easy business visa is proof that Cambodia is welcoming.
