Hi teachers Very Happy

Is there any difference between

I'm from Cambodia. and
I come from Cambodia.

The same question goes to

Where are you from? and
Where do you come from?

Many thanks in advance

Both sentences in each pair have the same meaning, Jupiter. There is no difference in formality or in appropriate usage. You can use any of the sentences at any time.
