Yes, Albania a bit cold for my tastes, but there a few banana trees in the far south. I never looked at Morocco because the visa for Cambodians is quite complicated. Her best chances in that part of the world would only be Albania and Georgia. We have some Lebanese friends we knew in Cambodia that have relocated to Georgia, and they love it, but once again, a bit cold for my tastes.

Have you considered trying it out in the Philippines? Hehehe...it is similar to Cambodia and if you happen to like Cebu, there are a lot of beaches with white sands... Have a look because the cost of living is not expensive. There are many foreigners who chose to live in Cebu. I am just not sure of the visa requirements. There is no language problem because the medium of instruction is English. There are many aseanhive members who live in Cebu. I was born there but grew up in Manila. One hiver discoveringarni lives in Cebu with her foreigner husband as well as purepinay with her american hubby.
The Philippines has one of the toughest visa policies for foreign residency. I think the only one I could have a chance at would be the retirement visa, but I'll have to wait 15+ years and have some more income to qualify for that. I think the Philippines is more possible if I seek employment and a sponsor, but we enjoy being self-employed and doing microbusiness.
Awtsch! After living in Europe for almost 4 decades I am not updated. I haven´t heard about that tough resident visa requirements since we already abandoned the idea of living there permanently. But Georgia might be an option. I am sure you and your fam will get used to the cold weather.
Everyone I've ever known that lived in the Philippines was either married to a local or worked for some kind of big business. I think those are the only two practical ways.
It is a pity for other foreigners... because the Phil.government is relaxed in issuing visas for the Chinese and Koreans who are also working in Casinos and other big Chinese companies particularly in Manila. I do not know how they can sponsor thousands of Chinese in the country when many Filipinos are jobless. I think it has something to do with the income the government gets from the Casino operations. My family lives very close to the International Airport in Manila and it´s where in these vicinities these Chinese Nationals live.
Visa policies almost never make sense. As my family and I like being self-employed, we are reluctant to give that up even for a short time, but we also lack the size of business and financial resources to land ourselves a business visa in any country. If some country allowed business visas for a $500 investment, we'd move to that country ASAP.
