Need help to renew my Cambodia passport

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.

Passport fees:

1. Adult passport (age 6+), Validity 10 years, 65 pages
$100 20 day processing
$150 10 day processing
$200 1 day processing

2. For children (under 6), Validity 5 years, 48 pages
$80 20 day processing
$120 10 day processing
$160 1 day processing

Kingdom of wonder of course , this was my option.
Not as clear cut of course , I knew could get it in one day for double the price
I didn’t need that , or the other option for ( I guessed 2 weeks )
I took the cheapest option for $100 but there was still “ service “ on that one for $15
Cash only in US$. , no plastic ( or QR ) accepted
Luckily they dint have change for $100 for the $15 so got that back and paid 60,000 in funny money
Bizarre .

Hasn’t been 20 days yet , but I was expecting a month ,
Too early to report the time frame or how to physically get it
But ….

time will tell .

You mean your kid will have one. The only way for a foreigner to get a Cambodian passport is by being granted Citizenship.

By "the other embassy" I assume you mean the US one? What would the first one be then?
Anyway it's your onus. :facepalm:
Silence, exile, and cunning.
