Will be jetting into the Kingdom of Wonder in less than two weeks - Phnom Pehn, to be exact, already booked at a place called The Birdcage Boutique in some dank alley by the riverfront. Looking for a residence long term. Is there a website with long-term apartments, or will it just be better to get an agent upon arrival OR just hoof it and look on my own?
I had lived in Tijuana, Mexico for twenty years and the best way of procuring a flat was just walking around - most apartments had signs out front. Is there a reasonable area that would accommodate a shady novelist such as myself on the cheap? My budget is up to $400 for a single room.
Also, also - applying for a retirement visa. Why? It's best you didn't know - however, I take it a travel agency is best to handle this and not at the embassy, themselves?
Asking for a friend. Thanks.

1 - Go to any reputable travel agency and sort out your visa status as painlessly as possible
2 - Accommodation; ask a few of the grizzled oldies you encounter in riverside bars and restaurants
GOOD LUCK

Unless paying double the official fee causes you pain.Happydragon1234 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 3:40 am1 - Go to any reputable travel agency and sort out your visa status as painlessly as possible

Not quite double, most agents charge $275 - 300, official fee is $180 but also involves providing extensive supporting documentation and 2x return trips out to Pochentong...in saying that, I always advise people to apply directly at the DoI Visa Office if they are able to, those Immigration Officers don't need any more fancy villas or flash vehicles.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
