Yes, good luck opening bank accounts as a tourist with no ties to the country and telling them you will be depositing thousands of dollars in cash to the new account with source of funds being crypto (or other thing you can come up with, if you manage to fake documents)
The theory sounds great but the practice is not realistic
Then I must be living in a dream world, but for my part it feels very real, especially sweating my a*s off in 42C weather last week.
At least the rainy season will cool it down a bit. But yeah, looking at the swimming pool, the pretty girls, food and the easy daily crypto income seems like a dream for some. It just daily life now.
Reality check:
Cashing in, cashing out, trading, P2P between various banks, with a few 6 digit transactions in the first month. No problemo.
Some of the accounts I opened just with a tourist visa and a guesthouse address. Even got a Prasac account a few years back, and got 12% yearly on USD on a 3 year CD.
There are few Chinese/Vietnamese shops in PP and VTE, where you can just turn USDT to USD cash in a minute (but 6% or so commission I heard). There are lots of these kind of shops in Georgia, Bulgaria, and Turkey as well, and some of them have minimal commission for turning USDT to USD cash. Or just go big, buy and sell a building and get rid of SOF issues with the real estate sale contract.
Back to Cambodia:
Today, you might want to show them a rental contract and a 6 month business visa extension, what might cost you about $370 in total ($210 for the 6 month business visa extension and all documentation for business visa created by an agent, about $150 for the first month rent to get the contract, or you let someone local write one for you for a tip.......
No CRS/ KYC boot stamping on human face here.....
