Difficult situation in one way, not been able to get what you’re entitled too, without the corruption being an extra cost. But you know yourself that is how things are, and it gets you what you need.
Who would you hold responsible for such actions? Are the immigration department getting paid enough, or it’s just because they can, also there is another holiday coming. This kind of action is not aimed specifically at western people, It’s just how things are done, money, and service’s. The Khmer have been in this position for years, If you want a good service you will be expected to pay for it, above and beyond what the price is.
I personally have 99% done things by the book, I disagree with this system of deep rooted corruption, even more so when it is carried out by official authorities, for us it starts with the visa and EOS, by the price hike by using an agent. I know that it has been said that anyone can go to immigration with the documents required and get the EOS at the official price. Again what are the odds in this action?

This guy is giving you the run around to get some extra cash out of you. Proof of birth is the bloody Birth Certificate! These "fixers" are good at sucking people in.

That said, I accompanied my wife and son and had no problems - but that was to the main office.
