I read they are pretty strict with requirements but one i have a problem with is the 2500 dollar monthly income, my old job just ended so im not making that much monthly. I do have alot of money in the bank, own my home and car would they consider that? is there any way around the 2500 dollar monthly requirement?

thank you

That requirement was attached to the rule (not law) that men over 50 could not marry a Cambodian woman.

As that age rule has been cancelled a few years ago the minimum income rule hasn't been enforced either, as far as I know.

But you can ask the MOI about the requirements of marriage between a Cambodian woman and a foreigner, they will tell you.

Good luck.

Let your girl ask at the MOI (Ministry of Interior).

Embassies are useless and not knowledgeable.
