Re: Why I think the official procedure to marry a Cambodian is a scam
Sex and living with a falang is illegal here. Whether there are ways round this I don't know but as I intend to stay here for the rest of my life and as I am having a child here I want to do it by the book through the correct channels and its also important to me the kid has a UK passport to give him more freedom of movement when he is older. Dual nationality is also illegal here but provided the kid is never caught with a Lao and UK passport on him no one is bothered. Its a total scam but what you gonna do?

That is where I am having a problem is my embassy wont certify it, and the Sub Decree on Marriage clearly states that only the passport and single certificate must be certified. And below is what my Embassy says. Do I need to offer a bribe ?
" U.S. Embassy can only legally certify copies of a U.S. citizen’s passport and notarize affidavits of single status; the current Cambodian sub-decree governing marriages also only requires certification of those two documents. None of the other documents required by the MFA can be certified by the U.S. Embassy. The MFA has assured the U.S. Embassy that marriage applications in which only the passport copies and affidavits of single status have been certified, in accordance with both U.S. and Cambodian law, will be accepted by them, despite any written notices or instructions that indicate otherwise. "
