Greetings All,

I am soon to be 52 years old and plan on retiring to Cambodia next March.聽 I use to work there about 15 years ago on the WRA providing EOD mentorship to CMAC.

I know that 55 years old is the official retirement age where proof of income is not required.聽 I won鈥檛 start drawing my government pension until I turn 57, but do receive military disability.

What is the determined amount of money that would justify a retirement visa that the government wants to see at the age of 52, or how much funds in savings accounts would warrant a retirement visa?

Also, would a 1 way ticket be acceptable for a retirement visa or would I have to show an exit strategy upon arrival?

Thank you for any information provided,

Eric

If you can prove your disability you will be considered retired.

You might need to also prove your disability income.

Take a one way ticket but also get a refundable cheap ticket out of Cambodia that you cancel after arrival, just to be on the safe side.

Cheers.

For US citizens, Social Security benefits is what you need to prove that you're retired. At online Social Security account it called "Benefit Verification letter". That document shows that you're on social security/disabled and list income you make monthly. That would be acceptable proof to get a retirement visa in Cambodia.
