Hello everyone,

I will move to Cambodia next November. I had some information on the forum in the past
for visa, taxes, etc...now I decided to move.

Now what is the procedure : is there a townhall in PP where I have to register. Once I will
have my flat ?

Then of course I will be happy to meet some expats. I am from Switzerland. I speak french, but
of course english and now I am in Spain where I have been learning spanish 3 months.
I have been a travel agent in my country 30 years but would be opened to work in another
field.

I visited Cambodia twice in the past, the last year I was in PP and Kampot.

But I will leave in PP because I will have to search a job and I like this city.

Thank you for your help聽

Hello.

You don't have to register your residency, your landlord will do that for you.
PP is divided in districts called Sangkat where you will be registered. If you ever need a proof of residence or residency letter you go to the Sangkat where you live.

Hope you will have a nice stay.

Many thanks Joekhmer聽

One question regarding tax : In my country (Switzerland) we fill online a formular
and give our year income.

How does it work in Cambodia ? Do we also fill a formular ?

It would be great to explain me a little.

2) at work does the tax deduced from the salary ?

Have a nice day !

Yes the employer takes the salary tax and sends it to the Ministry.

You don't fill out a tax form if you are earning a normal salary. Only if you earn an exorbitant salary you might need to fill out a form and pay income taxes.

Cheers.
