Yeah there's an "embassy" here (it's really a dinky little office space), but they were unable to handle my renewal (slightly more complex than a basic renewal), so everything had to be handled via Nova Scotia. I think I imagine an embassy being like the US embassy where things can, you know, actually get done. Not a glorified mail handler.

Whatever, it is what it is. Gotta deal with it.

When I was there a few years ago and had my passport stolen the Australian embassy handled everything. They sent my documents to Bangkok. There were a couple of screw ups like after a week they tell me I smiled on the passport photo, then the photo shop couldn't get the proper dimensions of the photo the second time which they are very particular about (1/3 space above your head 1/3 face and 1/3 space below) so it was sent back again. And this is when I only had 2 weeks left on my vacation and was in Siem Reap so had to beat it back to PP. Then I accidentally dove into the pool with my phone in my pocket so was terrified that my email access would be fucked. Luckily the phone restarted after drying it out.

The day before I was due to fly out and had contacted my insurance company and was bidding the wife a tearful farewell the single use travel document came through. When I got near the Australian embassy there was a huge police blockade for that street because of the water festival or whatever and the wouldn't let me thru even though the embassy was literally 100 M away. I said fuck it and jumped the barriers and ran to the embassy with the cops and soldiers yelling at me and pounded on the windows at the embassy.

To boot someone had found my discarded passport and turned it in to the embassy but by then it had been cancelled but at least the visa was in it still.

At the airport they tried to charge me $100 even though the embassy assured me that it was all fine. I basically told them to fuck themselves and refused threatening to call the embassy so they let me through.

Fun 4 week vacation.

What is this app and it’s purpose?

It’s a dating APP.

Seriously, join the FB visa group for Cambodia.

If you have to go to immigration and you’re on an overstay be polite, grovel and act like a dumb expat (that’s what you are after all), even shed a tear or two.

Do not, repeat do not, raise your voice, roll your eyes or storm off or look angry. Look sad and desperate.

Thank you sir. I plan on retiring there in a few months and this is the first I heard about having to have an app. Just getting all my s*** together to make sure I know everything I need to do before I get there.

It is like a residency certificate. You will be registered at hotels etc by the operators.
When you settle- they will register you on this app when you have your first extension of stay.
