Great to see you back on here bro. If you need a break, you gotta do it. Good thing it was just over a week. Tough luck about losing out on that ticket you had, that would annoy me a lot. Gotta just shrug your shoulders and move on after something like that. Sounds like you will be saving that amount of money by doing your own visa in the future.

So amazing to know that you at least have your 30-day visa. I'm excited for you to be back with your family. My question is, did the 30 days already begin? Or does it start once you land in Cambodia?

I have a Crypto.com debit card and have only used it in the USA. It does have an option in the visa card section of the app to enable international usage. I know that wouldn't solve all withdrawal issues, but perhaps at least let you turn some of your crypto into useable funds. Have you ever looked into a crypto debit card of any kind? There are many options, crypto.com is just the one I'm using.

Thanks my friend.

So, the 30-day visa expires at the end of March. As long as I arrive in Cambodia before that time, it will last 30 days from the date of arrival. Ironically the immigration department is located conveniently across the street from the airport, the place where visa agents drop off their packets to renew/start the one-year visa.

There have been a few cases of people successfully arranging their own work visas, but you have to have all your ducks in a row, the Cambodian authorities will not tell you if your paperwork is correct, and they won't answer any questions, thus king of encouraging you to use "visa fixers". I think I now know the process well enough that we could perhaps do it ourselves, fingers crossed.

Funny, I just received my Crypto.com ATM card. The only reason I haven't withdrawn any crypto via US channels is that I don't know much about taxes, so I don't want to fool with it. I think Binance P2P into my Cambodian wife's bank account, then withdraw via ATM will be a tax-free way to access our crypto. My Crypto.com card can definitely be my all-else-fails solution though.

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense, I wonder how it worked. I loathe rules.

I've literally been waiting on my upgraded Crypto.com card for over a month now. I wish I'd received it already, lucky you for having yours. I went with Indigo, did you upgrade or go with the free version? All work well.

Yea the tax thing sucks. I don't know anything about it either and am just going to live and see what happens. I'm tired of obeying every little thing and playing on the safe side.

I just did the free version because I am really banking on Binance P2P to save us. KYC verification is almost impossible because I've been off the radar for 25 years, and out of the country mostly for the last 15 years. I guess the only way to go tax-free in the USA would be convert your HIVE to Monero, and then somehow get fiat for that.

Even though we failed, my family and I attempted US immigration while stranded in Suriname, and so I my first tax return since I was 20+ years old, and there were specific questions concerning crypto, a little spooky. That combined with the new Binance.US site, and me getting booted off the regular site hurt a bit. Good ole 'Merican bureaucracy.

I hope one day everyone realizes that taxes are legit theft and something line a DAO would take care of pretty much everything in a more transparent manner.
