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!

Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia only valid for 5 years so double the cost

I think $100 for the Cambodian passport is a great deal compared to what it was 5+ years ago!!

Indeed, 10 years ago it was $150 plus for a 3-year passport.

Now it's less for a 10 year passport.

Just check the quality of the picture, for instance......
great quality, on a solid plastic bio-page, same as NZ passports.

The quality of the new Cambodian passports is much better than a lot of "Western" countries passports.

Cool
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Don't doubt it. Actually it is easier to do through an agency. Not the ministry direct.

My kid is currently in the process. Can easily be be done with.an agent. Lucky lucky are one the case. Yes, it costs a bit more. Maybe $30 on top. Otherwise, it's a trip or 6 to the ministry. Rather pay for a quick service than do that. Everytime.

It's worth noting that a Cambodian passport is needed for UK application for dependants. So sometimes you gotta suck it up and pay.

Actually, I'm not looking forward to that part.

Possibly it would be easier to go the ministry route. Realistically speaking, it would take time and effort. If all things are considered, the tea money is worth it. Cambodian passports are not too difficult to get, nor that expensive. Khmer and western documents are very useful.

Please let this through. Enough is enough. Not trying to be an arse. I'm just spreading the love. Seen?

I assume that all the people up in arms about this all get their EOS visas directly from the appropriate ministry and don’t use any agents as fixers.

:? :beer1: ?

It takes one trip to the GDoI Passport office whether you use an agent or not, the photo and fingerprints are taken on site along with an electronic signature.
Agents do exactly the same as the fixers at the passport office, but charge double.


If you don't use an agent, it takes 1 more trip back to collect the PP, or for a few dollars someone will deliver it to your home.

I wish the DoI would start doing EOS onsite.
