Photograph your passport and visa

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.

Photograph your passport and visa

Post by explorer »

I like to photograph the front page of my passport and my visa.

This is useful when you send your passport in for a visa extension, and you need to provide this information.

It would also be very valuable if your passport got lost or stolen.

I then also copy the photos to my computer.

It is probably wise to encrypt the photos, and send them in an email to yourself, in case your passport, phone, and computer all got stolen.

Anyone with an ounce of common-sense doesn't need to be told that...but as common sense isn't very common these days, well done for posting that.

I took a picture printed them off and DHL them to my bank manager. I then destroyed my phone and drove 30 miles into the Cardomon mountains and buried the remains. Plus I booby trapped the “grave”.
I then went to a hypnotist in PP and he erased any memory of the last 24 hours just incase I was kidnapped and was giving a truth serum to spill my secrets.

Obviously the last part didn’t work because I’m retelling this story plus at the hotel they took a copy of my passport and visa, as they do at all hotels, rental shops and sangkats.

Explorer has certainly come up with some great ideas but I can see the gaps in his security. I think I'll follow your example, but I'm thinking of using a different mountain range. :? 8-) :lol:
