Re: Diabetic South African overstayer locked up w/ no medications after being found begging for money with a bloody head
A year costs that even if he was down to his last cents he could have done a month or a 3 month for much less also unlikely to qualify for the year which is kinda arbitrary now. But same with insurance. An average insurance pack plus visa is about $4 a day. People prioritize their beer and what not spends over that then cry foul when in trouble.Cam Nivag wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 3:50 pmRenewing the visa for a year costs about $300. A lot of expats don't have $300. Also, that weird old crime writer from Kampot overstayed for two years, turned himself in, and just had to spend a week or so in immigration jail before he was allowed to leave for the Philippines. Cambodia doesn't take overstaying seriously at all.

Yes, if you have a temporary cash-flow problem, then get a 1, 3 or 6 month visa to tide you over and sort things out.angkorjohn2 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:18 pmA year costs that even if he was down to his last cents he could have done a month or a 3 month for much less also unlikely to qualify for the year which is kinda arbitrary now.

What ? $300 a year makes $25 a month, which is less than 20 pounds in the UK. That's one night in the pub for a Brit. If you haven't got it, you are in the shit anyway. Are there seriously a lot of expats in Cambodia who cannot put by $25 each month to pay for their visa ? I know plenty of expats with fk-all money to spare, and yes, they drink 50c beers, but they all manage to have a valid visa.
And seriously, if you are sick with a permanent illness like diabetes, Cambodia is no country for sick people with no money.
Let's hope the OP subject is deported home for his own good and gets a second chance.

I have never understood how people can live in cambodia with little to no money. I am not judging, just wondering what the appeal is, other than a couple of obvious things , which surely wears off after a while.

His work history from Facebook is a little over the top, the Pride Project Phu Quoc Facebook page is pictures of him, very few resorts have a stylist, he was assistant stylist and decor consultant. I guess I could consider myself a decor consultant, I recently purchased new towels and someone had to choose the colour of them, my wife was not there to guide me so I made the decision myself and went cream coloured, well not really cream, more like halfway between parchment and alabaster with a sprinkle of chiffon.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

He posted a picture of his Thai visa that was good until 18 Dec 2018. I suspect he hasn t really worked at any of his listed jobs in a while but left them and didn t want the world to know that he had left his buddies' behind.
