READINESS ASSESSMENT

Know what is ready—and what could derail your move.

Answer 12 questions that reflect the decisions that actually make or break a Cambodia move. We score your preparation—not your wealth—and turn weak areas into next actions.

0%current readiness

Move purpose

What best describes why you are moving to Cambodia?

Income & work

What will pay your monthly living costs after you arrive?

Emergency runway

After deposits and setup costs, how long could your savings cover normal living costs?

Visa & legal stay

How confident are you that you know the correct current visa/stay route for your situation?

Work permit / right to work

If you plan to work, have you checked the work-permit requirements for your situation?

Arrival accommodation

What will you do for your first days or weeks?

Long-term housing

How prepared are you to choose a rental without getting trapped by a bad fit or hidden costs?

Monthly budget & setup cash

Have you budgeted for both normal monthly life and the upfront cost of moving?

Healthcare & emergencies

What is your plan if you need medical care or a serious emergency happens?

Money, phone & first-week setup

How ready are you for payments, connectivity and basic arrival admin?

Family & dependants

If children or other dependants are moving with you, have you checked schools/childcare, fees, healthcare, housing location and any employer benefits?

Real-life fit & exit plan

Have you tested the move against everyday reality—and do you have a fallback if it is not right?

Employer benefits can change your readiness.

Some Cambodia employers—especially international schools—may provide or subsidize medical insurance, visa/work-permit costs, housing, flights and dependent tuition. Count a benefit as “confirmed” only after checking the actual offer/policy, who is covered and any limits.
