Well, what can I say?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Thanks for your lack of input. It really does sound like you "love our PSD-Kiwi".

My question started with "would you happen to know". If he doesn't know, then he doesn't know. Your post sounds like trolling to me.

What do you mean my lack of input?

I'm directly questioning his statement that someone can get a 6 or 12 month EB EOS with a Cambodian marriage certificate.

I've never heard of that happening. I'd be ecstatic if I was wrong.

I'm sorry if I came across a bit harsh to one of CEO's sacred cows, UT. I'll tuck my head in now.

...jesus.

What is in the pracas and what is, in actuality, being currently accepted and approved for receiving a 6 or 12 month EB EOS are probably very different things.

It may very well be in the law/pracas but I have yet to hear of anyone waltzing in to an agents office with their Cambodian marriage certificate and receiving a 6 or 12 month EB EOS.

Kiwi's point is that there is a legal basis for it, your job is to find someone who respects that, and get them to help you.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

Christ almighty, I know what his point is............there are many things in Cambodia that have 'legal' basis....but in reality seem to not fucking be so.

For some people this is a time sensitive issue with EOS's coming due etc. and they don't have time to 'find someone who respects that, and get them to help you'.

People need actionable intel. What is currently being approved and what documents are required.

Not some dismissive wave of the hand, 'the prakas says thus.........now go forth and receive thy 12 month EG EOS or if you have proof of Cambodian marriage, 12 month EB EOS.'

PSD, you've been much more lucid over on the Cambodian Visa Bookface page.

Re the marriage certificate, would you happen to know, what if there's no marriage certificate but have dependent children and living together as husband and wife.

You do this from time to time Kiwi. Last time it was with the "12 month EG EOS"

This does nothing but muddy the waters.

And then you get all pissy when people get confused and ask repetitive questions. Then you say that you're going to stop helping us with our queries.

Come on man.
Nope, that ain't from the Prakas, that is what is actually happening on the ground

Can't comment on that one, could be worth a try directly at the DoI...rock up with the missus and kids and all pertinent documentation proving your the father.

Most agencies will tell you it's not possible...go directly to the DoI...if you're lucky you may even get away with only having to pay the official EOS fee.

Fair enough. :thumb:

That's worth a shot but I'm hesitant to go directly into the lions den again.

I had to go there years ago for assistance with a rather benign issue and it was not a helpful or comfortable experience.

In the future though, you should probably couch your statements with "Most agencies will tell you it's not possible...go directly to the DoI" because 99.9% of people here will only be familiar with agents when handling these issues.

That makes a huge difference in the context of your replies and probably would have prevented that entire, idiotic back and forth between myself and UT had you written that initially.
