So FC, please tell us about how you managed to obtain a Cambodian National ID Card, did you become a Cambodian citizen, do you have a Cambodian passport? I'm really interested to know, not being a smart ass or anything.flying chicken wrote: Unless you have a Khmer national ID card like me, suckers

LOL, seriously some of you sound paranoia. Cambodia law allows you to extend your visa infinitely, there is absolutely nothing authorities can do about it if you are not physically working, at worse they might want to see the visa on your passport to check if it is still valid. So if you are simply going to the ATM to withdraw your money or help your mate to build a pig pen; you are safe. Ones who should be worry are establishment owners in the cities and schools.

Anyway, it's really hard to obtain one now if you aint Asian looking or have 20k upfront doing it under the table.

Ok, I didn't realise you're parent/s are Khmer, therefore you're Khmer. Cheers

Re: PP Post - Work Permits to be enforced by MOI & MOL
One thought on this that was just brought up... is it really targeting us? While I'm sure a few barang expats will be caught up in it, because there will have to be examples of it being universally enforced, could this likely be a plot to eliminate a large number of Vietnamese/Filipino laborers? I mean, they won't be able to afford the $100, or the fines, and with the mention of "repeat offenders" are the most likely to be the ones repeating (once we have one, we're likely to keep it updated).
Timed with the opposition taking their seats and the major influx of displaced Khmer workers from Thailand, etc this actually make a lot of logical sense as a reasoning behind the sudden surge. Imagine the populist surge that pushing out most of the foreign cheap labor force, creating local jobs for those displaced Khmer, would have for whichever side gets credit for it. And likely both sides will be fighting over claiming credit for it now.

interesting idea, could be...
i don't even want to think about the short- to mid-term consequences of suddenly replacing skilled, experienced workers with (local) noobs though.

If this is enforced i see it as inevitable. those laborers working for $30-80 a month aren't going to have the cash to cover a work permit or a fine... or both.bong.kuit wrote:interesting idea, could be...

You might be onto something which I havent thought of before. Dont know about the Filipinos, but in term of the illegal VN is a hard battle because of the overwhelming influence in this country; politically and economically. On the positive side, I am starting to see the Khmer youths are standing up for their rights esp seeing the continuous struggle of their families livelihoods and their futures, being oppressed with the support from Khmer muppets. I see the Vietnamese (abusive) influence in this country enough to form my own judgement.OrangeDragon wrote:One thought on this that was just brought up... is it really targeting us?

Re: PP Post - Work Permits to be enforced by MOI & MOL
To be honest it looks like they're just clamping down before ASEAN comes into play, which is wise. Getting foreigners to have paperwork isn't that crazy, albeit a bit of an annoyance. I can't see it affecting anyone who is employed here, as it's the employer's responsibility to provide it (regardless of the "backdated" stupidity). I can definitely see this as being a bit of a pain in the ass for those who are self-employed or retirees.
