Healthcare, taxes & language
The decisive three for a longer stay — with a source to verify each yourself.
Healthcare
Public facilities are limited and below international standards; private/international clinics and hospitals in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap handle routine care, while serious cases are usually evacuated to Bangkok or Singapore.
Tip: pair with travel-medical + medical-evacuation cover.
Tax on foreign & pension income
Tax residents are legally subject to Cambodian tax on worldwide income, including foreign-source salary, with a credit available for foreign tax paid (progressive rates 0–20%).
Not tax advice — confirm with a local professional.
English proficiency
English is common in tourism, hospitality and business in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap but limited elsewhere.
