A homeless German citizen in Cambodia has received help via PM HE after he criticised the German Embassy for failing to help him.
Martin Albert Schomacher, who has a physical illness and was sleeping on the streets, had earlier criticized his embassy in Cambodia for not taking care of him and for not helping him to go be repatriated to Germany

The 55-year-old German was discovered after being posted on Facebook and received the attention of HE, the Prime Minister of Cambodia.

He was taken by Cambodian officials to Calmette Hospital for treatment for physical illness and foot ulcers.

According to information from the Calmette Hospital, so far (the morning of March 19, 2022) Mr Schomacher has not been visited by any German Embassy officials.

During the inauguration ceremony of “SOS Children’s Village” in Prey Veng province, on the morning of Thursday, March 17, 2022, the PM instructed the German Embassy in Cambodia to visit its citizens.

These embassies seem quite useless.

I do not know the details, but normally you don't just waltz up to an embassy and ask for a ticket back home. They will help if need be, but I believe you need to work out how you are going to pay them back.

I have heard they hold your passport and return it after all monies are paid back. Essentially you are flagged from leaving your home country until you pay back the government. Not sure if all governments do this or not.
