is didn’t find the u. s. embassy helpful in phnom penh either. i was trying to finish my son’s passport issue and his mother flew here to Cambodia specifically to hand deliver her consent for him to get his american passport renewal. they didn’t accept her notarized consent from philippines because it was not done at the American embassy in philippines because they jerked her around there so she notarized with a local non embassy notary.

what if i go there and get a bank account and a tourist visa then get a bank account and a EDUCATION visa while i bank the 800 k? i have half the money already. i could study muay thai and thai language. 3 months of each would be great if that is possible.

@Nongnuch *******

what requirements would i have to get an education visa? i am already wanting to study muay thai with regular classes plus private lessons. as long as i am actually studying and practicing muay thai is this a real option as i save another 400k thb? do you know how much the visa fees are for that? i would just go and find out when i get there except i have to carry so much luggage .

@Nongnuch *******

i heard agents break bank rules by removing funds from the account and later if the client tries to do it himself he gets refused based on the agents move. what about the documents proving i have a large $4,100 / month u.s. pension? another option is i renew my cambodian visa and save another 6 months to have the 800k before moving to thailand. not what i want but i would rather avoid problems.

@Nongnuch *******

hello. i am reading a second reply from you and you really seem to know this subject very well. i am retired / disabled u.s. military and finishing a year on retirement visa in cambodia. super easy visa process. as i am carrying a lot of luggage and right next to thailand it would not be convenient to return to america to apply for a single entry 90 days non - imm- O retirement visa. so i can get the 30 days on arrival. btw , since i am carrying extra luggage, one being oversized, snowboarding gear bag, i am coming by way of private van to border from cambodia then a second private van from thai side to pattaya. i am a little anxious about that as well. but i have often seen an alternative to the 800k deposited in the bank or even the monthly deposits instead as being a statement/ certification of pension from embassies. i can get a declaration from the veterans services i have not yet seen one single person bring up this important information. can you explore this as an option please??🙏
