A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot - BUT with Happy Ending

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.

Most likely the same way he originally purchased, and then lost, the land....via the nominee structure with the real estate agent as the nominee....he still doesn't own the land, because legally he can't :facepalm:

I think his age and simple appearance might have gained some sympathy from the Cambodians.
Assuming the property is now in the name of another Cambodian (the RE agent that helped him ??) he should do a longterm lease with them. I've read this is pretty safe if the terms are drawn up correctly and the lease is registered against the title in PP to prevent any sale without the Lessees consent. He'd have to pay a monthly rent to make it legit, but call it insurance.

This is quite an exceptional outcome. Cambodian citizenship is notoriously difficult to obtain.
Well done Tom and his supporters.

@offroadscholar ...long term lease as you described is one of the safest options. No need to pay monthly rent though, because you "purchase" the entire lease period initially.

@kammekor...precisely, this guys probably gonna cark it in a few years, then the property will belong to whoever the nominee is.

Apparently, he's now a Khmer Citizen, so he will have it in his own name.

Good for him.
