The sinking ship
The sinking ship
It will be interesting to see who runs, the latest closures of radio stations, tax claims against newspapers, new WP and visa rules certainly has a few getting their panties in a bunch.
So...are you leaving? For where?
I personally think things will be OK, so I'm staying.

Re: The sinking ship
What is the difference between running around selling yourself or just removing a few non-compliant companies to stack the odds in ones favour?
Nobody is running anywhere, ' war of worlds ' I for 1 am currently enjoying the backlash against the USA. Next stop removing Burger King, Krispy Crème and Carl's Junior, no wait! These are things that don't influence regime.

Re: The sinking ship
Babble, I'm with you re the USA, but I think you are mistaken ín your belief that 'nobody is running anywhere'.
It's not just a recent phenomenon.

Re: The sinking ship
I think it will be a case of bye bye American pie for the main part. Those that can dodge it all, or think they can, will stay. Lots of teaching opportunities opening up soon?
See crook!!!
Re: The sinking ship
I was not suggesting it's a recent "something like a phenomenon" !
What and why would you run?
I'd suggest ride it out, possibly walk it out and then only if only it comes to it, sprint like Usain Bolt at the 'flash bang' of the starters gun! Which sounds ridiculous as this will be all orderly and by the law.
I'll bet 11 slices of a 12 slice pizza, you pay your way you stay. No free-riding! There will be no mass exodus or deportations, they will merely ask you to get your 'affairs' in order and carry on.
Although if I was American, I would feel less comfortable right about now, funk so brother.

And what's being American got to do with anything? Is this new work permit-visa thing totally official now?

Re: The sinking ship
1st question - Well, there is an rather large on-going problem and a war of words happening between the US and Cambodian governments right now. Are you following ?Ronny wrote: And what's being American got to do with anything? Is this new work permit-visa thing totally official now?
Maybe you should check out these links. It's not sure, but it is possible that longterm Cambodian visas may become more difficult for US citizens because of this US-Cambodia spat. Or maybe not, but that's what it's got to do with being American.

As for WP and visas, nothing is official. Maybe or maybe not. Don't panic. We'll see soon enough.
And if you are not even in Cambodia yet, then chill and wait until you want to move here. Visa laws are changing all the time. What's true today could be completely different tomorrow.

Re: The sinking ship
for the Cambodian government to single out Americans on issuance of a visa and jeopardize the amount of money that the US government gives in aid is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard of.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2017 8:40 pm1st question - Well, there is an rather large on-going problem and a war of words happening between the US and Cambodian governments right now.

@ PR. Yes quite possible (that this is ridiculous). I am just passing on info for those who are not following the present US-Cambodia awkwardness.phuketrichard wrote:for the Cambodian government to single out Americans on issuance of a visa and jeopardize the amount of money that the US government gives in aid is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard of.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2017 8:40 pm1st question - Well, there is an rather large on-going problem and a war of words happening between the US and Cambodian governments right now.

As you know, things are not always logical here in the KOW. There is a big anti-US rhetoric by the Cambodian govt right now. That's all. Things may change.

Re: The sinking ship
The rhetoric is about US government interference in the region, and so far has not at all targeted US nationals who reside here. There is a distinction to be made there.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2017 9:04 pm
