So if I told you my ex took my passport and I had no other form of ID, and the only way to get my proof of citizenship papers was through the Bangkok embassy which I couldn't get to because she had my passport, is that what you call being dumb? Fyi for my fellow Canucks, the Canadian embassy in Cambodia does not do proof of citizenship papers, only basic renewals.

Just curious. You act like I had the power or something to do something about this situation, as if I hadn't been in this country over the space of two decades with 20+ visas and hadn't magically known about these things that whole time. When life fucks you over, that's what is means. It fucks you over...

Don't be too quick to judge unless you know who's shoes you are in.

Way back, i had a passport stolen when i was in India, Went to the embassy. and they did a search for my name/passport #, came back. no record, wtf!!!
boy, was i pissed, OK, what do i do ? Bring 3 people to the embassy that had seen my passport, yea right, i show my passport to random people, anyway got 3 guys staying at the gh i was living in an took them to the embassy to "verify" they saw my passport, Had to borrow enough to pay for it but got it, than the fun began. Took me another 4 months to get out of India> made a deal with gh to bring new guests in for free rent, made a deal for food, begged on the streets and stole shit out of high priced stores and sold to Tourists> Unlike you, i knew Nobody in Delhi as i had only been there a few days

IN this day and age i dont know anyone that does not have a copy on their phone of their passport and visa. (i learned to always carry a copy from then on)

SO ask them how you can get a new one, you state the embassy wont issue you one but surely they will issue you something so you can travel to Bangkok to get a new papers or something> there not going to hang you out to dry
just cause some high ranking immigration officer is friends of ur wife, means not much what the Canadian embassy does ( BTW the passport is property of the government that issued it)

You state you have been 20 years in Cambodia, Made no friends?
Do whatever you need to do to get that Passport and sort out ur visa, each day its $10
being legal is the first step in moving on

if you have been here as long as you state surely you must know some people from better days> beats asking random people on a forum

If Canada is anything like the states, the embassy wont do much for ya, they will contact someone back in the states for you, but you state nobody to contact>
doubt they will give ya a loan to return, Unless ur plead on ur knees. BUT if you have nowhere to go there>>>>
At the minimum, at least go to the embassy an renew ur passport

To everyone reading this
things can go to shit if ur not on top of it

Nothing like kicking a guy when he’s down huh Dick ...... only a douche would feel the need to have began with that 1st paragraph ......

I don't read anything in there kicking a guy when he's down, first paragraph letting your visa run out and honestly you deserve a kicking for doing that, no excuses simple as that, or are we supposed to feel sorry and have nothing for sympathy for educated people being dumb.

Nice to see Richard has company, I'm sure his legs are tired from kicking Joe and will appreciate someone cheering on his efforts.

I guess when meeting a stranger who's struggling the adage of ' If you've nothing good to say, maybe remain quiet' is passe amongst some of the more vocal keyboard warrior crowd .... I'd suggest that when a guy is admitting he's reaching rock bottom through mostly his own doing, adding salt to his wounds as a conversation starter is the hallmark of small petty men .... But heh, that's just me.

i'd say the exact same thing to his face and how is anything i said kicking him?


Namaste'
