Cambodia Internship FAQs

Common questions about visas, eligibility, and life in the Kingdom of Wonder.

How much can I expect to earn?
+
Teachers in Cambodia typically earn between $800 and $1,200 USD per month. Due to the very low cost of living, this allows for a comfortable lifestyle and savings.
Which nationalities are eligible?
+
Most passport holders are welcome! Unlike many other Asian countries, Cambodia does not have a strict "native speaker" passport list. As long as you are a fluent English speaker, citizens of most countries are eligible to apply.
Is accommodation included?
+
Accommodation (single room) is included for the duration of the 9-day orientation. After placement, our team helps you find your own housing, which is not included but extremely affordable (often $150-$250/month).
Do I need a criminal background check?
+
Yes. You must have a clean criminal background check from your home country to ensure the safety of the students.
How much money should I bring?
+
We recommend bringing approximately $1,500 USD. This covers your personal expenses during orientation and the first month of teaching before you receive your first paycheck.
Do I need a medical check?
+
No formal medical check is required for the visa application in Cambodia, though we always recommend being in good health before traveling.
Do I need a university degree?
+
No. A Bachelor's degree is NOT required to teach legally in Cambodia. This is one of the few remaining countries where you can secure a legal work permit without a degree.
What kind of visa will I get?
+
Full visa support is provided. You will typically enter on a Business Visa (E-class), which can be extended for work purposes. Our team assists with all the paperwork.
Where will my job placement be?
+
Placements are nationwide! Locations include the capital Phnom Penh, the historic Siem Reap (home of Angkor Wat), Battambang, Kampong Cham, and sometimes coastal towns like Kampot.
Can I bring my pet?
+
Bringing pets is strongly discouraged. The logistics and costs are high, and finding pet-friendly accommodation during the orientation phase is difficult.
How long is the contract?
+
Contracts are flexible! We offer 3 to 12 month contract lengths, making this perfect for gap years or longer-term career moves.
Is medical insurance included?
+
No, medical insurance is not included. You must arrive with proof of travel insurance that covers you for the duration of your stay.
