Quarantine Deposit

Hi,
I am planing to come to PP with my family.
few questions.
I have me my wife and a 3 year old, from details i read out, deposit required only for adults, so in my case it would be 4000 USD right
I am coming on an expatriation, in terms of my cost it has to be bared by hosting country, so in this case Cambodia. I want to know whether it is possible to pre deposit my quarantine deposit money in Cambodia before I depart from my home country?, can I get a proof of that to say I have already deposited money.
this requirement comes since of recent country is very tight on USD out flow, so for me to carry 4000 is a challenge ( I have to carry my money too). If I defend this as quarantine money they will surely not allow since the cost has to be born by Hosting Market.

I arrived a few weeks ago and yes only USD2000 for adult is needed.  You can pre-deposit the money to the govt bank account from within Cambodia (not sure about from outside of Cambodia) we did this.  Then you just show your bank deposit slip on arrival.  Be careful when you come to the hotel, they will try to charge you extra for food and a larger room for your child (this happened to me) I refused to pay it, you have to be strong.

Happy to answer any other questions if you need. 

Also, if you need a great nursery school when you get here...check out Invictus International School Phonm Penh www.invictus.edu.kh...great central location, qualified Teachers, new campus, small class sizes and the fees are highly competitive!

thank you so much, to get more clarity, My organization  in Cambodia can do the pre deposit. Do you know which bank they may need to contact for this?
Then they can pass on the deposit slip in scan to me which i may be able to present on arrival to the relevant bank.
On nursery thank you so much for that i definitely need that help.
