How to Work Abroad in Cambodia

Prepare for Jobs in Cambodia

Set goals

Whether you're chasing purpose, progress, or a little of both, it helps to set your compass early. Cambodia offers depth and dimension if you arrive open and intentional.

  • Support community growth. Set a goal to work with nonprofits focused on education, health, or human rights. Your role can contribute to long-term rebuilding efforts.
  • Build career skills. Aim to gain hands-on experience in Phnom Penh’s growing business or startup scene. Focus on areas like marketing, project support, or communications.
  • Go beyond the city. If you’re seeking fieldwork, target roles in agriculture, conservation, or rural health. Make it your goal to learn through real-world, community-based work.

Understand the benefits

Working in Cambodia is about more than ticking boxes. It’s a full-spectrum experience.

  • Stretch your perspective. Cambodia’s past is complex, and its future is actively unfolding. You’ll develop resilience, patience, and a deeper understanding of rebuilding and growth.
  • Practice real-world empathy. Many roles place you alongside locals, not above them. This is about working together, building trust, and learning from one another.
  • Live where tradition meets innovation. Khmer culture runs deep and influences everything. From daily greetings to workplace decisions, even the most modern jobs are grounded in local ways of doing things.

Things to know

A bit of prep goes a long way. Here are a few important realities to keep in mind before working in Cambodia.

  • Visa rules can change quickly - Work permits and visas are required and usually arranged with employer support, but policies shift often. Always confirm the latest requirements before you go.
  • Cash is king - While cards are accepted in larger cities, most daily transactions happen in cash—often a mix of US dollars and Cambodian riel. ATMs are common in cities, but bring backup when traveling rural.
  • Healthcare access varies - Urban areas have decent clinics and hospitals, but rural care is limited. Make sure your travel insurance includes evacuation coverage and double-check your vaccinations.
