You are definitely the Cambodian resident expert!

Thank you for sharing

Thank you.
If anyone needs more hand holding, I can help.

Is there a way to auto charge every 2 weeks?

You don't need to charge every 2 weeks.
You can just charge $2 many times on the same day, and it adds up the total validity of the SIM.
I am good until January 2025 with my SIM now.

Not sure about others, but using Smart - charging just $1 gives you 1 week "validity" followed by an additional 60 days "grace period" where you can only receive SMS/calls (sending SMS/calling disabled). That is just perfect for receiving OTPs, and you never lose your balance. That's what I've been doing for many years - top up $1 every 67 days.

They also have a $2 subscription that increases the validity period to 90 days, but that actually debits $2 from your balance

So one year using this method will be ~ $5.5, and you get to keep those $5.5 in your balance to use when you're visiting.

Yeah, Smart is good for that, so you can keep your number with low cost. There were 'superlong' plans before, can't find them anymore.
I have cellcard myself, and through all that data charging for using internet, my SIM validity is already extended until 2025.

I don't think so. They are just many people coming once with an idea that never works and we waste time on them.

For your question, I think there are many here with 20+ SIM cards and an even higher number of bank accounts. Managing am those gets tiring when they require their attention not than once per year.

Yes and which ones you recommend?

Yeah, you can open an account in USD/EURO/KHR. Maybe SGD too, haven't attempted it myself.
Private banking is available, starts from around 500,000 USD total deposit. Cambodia is used to Chinese money, no cheap private banking like in Georgia.
But, if you smile to the bank teller girl and ask, she will give you her telegram contact, which might be useful for that.

500 and 1500 usd is the service provider fee. I'm just researching options, don't think banks in Cambodia are competitive in terms of fees or reliability. Main purpose is avoiding EUSSR

And, fill in the following forms:
