Retiring in Cambodia: the visa situation
As of our last check, Cambodia offers a dedicated retirement route: the Retirement Extension of Stay (ER) on an E-class (ordinary/business) visa.
The income requirement is on the low side, so a typical pension is more likely to clear it. No fixed monthly income minimum is codified. Applicants must show they are retired and no longer working, and provide evidence of sufficient financial resources (pension payments, savings or other retirement income) to support themselves.
There is no standalone retirement entry visa; retirees 55+ enter on an E-class (ordinary) visa and then apply in-country for the ER 'Retirement' extension of stay. It is valid for up to 12 months, renewable indefinitely, and typically costs around $290-$300 for a one-year extension. Proof of health insurance is not always required but is sometimes requested.
