First of all, I make 2550$/m and it does not equal I have that amount to spend on bullshit scammers in Cambodia office. I have to pay housing and loan fees in Finland and after that there is like 600$ left for food and other expenses.

I'm currently in middle of this marriage process. Why we do this, is cause my fiancee didn't get shengen visa to Finland after 2 attempts in Thailand were we met and lived for a year. Marriage in Finland was not possible.

What I write in the fallowing could be missing some information, cause my GF does not speak english that good and they do chat khmer with consultant a lot.
Documents
I got fallowing documents stamped in 3 places before I came Cambodia: Single+marriage permission, criminal record, work sertificate with salary amount, last years tax. I got local notary stamp, then MFFA (Ministry For Foreign Affair), then I had to get Brittish embassy stamp as we don't have relations with Cambodia. Cost for all was aprox.200$ to get all 4 papers stamped properly.

GF has birth sertificate, family tree, single status, marriage permission, own ID, parents ID copy. Photo of me and her in same picture.

Process

We are using consultant to arrange this and handle as much as possible. Agreed fee was 1650$ for everything except visit to her Sangkat. We gave her the documents and she told us that she will take them to MFFA to be checked as result she asked as to provide 15 passport pictures for each ( I did not get explenation where the photos are going even tried to ask) and told us that GF's birth sertifate is new and therefore not good, even it's stamped by officials. Also document for single and permission for marry is not good cause the data is on same document, need to have 2 seperate documents according to them. ( I assume after reading first post, there will be problem with documents in any case to collect extra money for corrupt officials). Additional 300$ needed for process (Fits to the price of "Fastlane"). Also there was information given that problem might accour again at MoI, as writing this I don't know what the fee will be.

I'll try to update post after I get new information

Not sure why you guys didn't get the visa, but no need to go Thailand to get the visa. Just go german embassy in Phnom Penh. Once you have the visa, you can get married in Denmark. Cost like 100 euro. Much cheaper than paying for consultant in Cambodia even if you count flight tickets, hotels etc.

If you are over 50, you can NOT marry a Khmer legally? No way, no how, no amount of 'fixing' can overcome that. Is that correct?

Because if it is, I am having a very good morning...

NOT correct, it was changed last year....

oh bollox... what is the age now?
