You guys must have bigger pockets than me to be able to carry such a plethora of documents.

airport taxes are refunded, its enough to pay for about 3 beers up in departures

How many airport tax refunds does it take to pay for the passport itself though?

Also, i understand it is getting harder to get renewals of Khmer passports for people with mixed nationality parents. Extra fees and paperwork are being demanded.

Fair enough for first point....BS to 2nd point, no extra fees or paperwork for mixed Nationalities applying for or renewing Cambodian pp - although some people have faced issues at the Aeon 2 passport office due to corrupt staff members , which is why I always reccomend going to the main pp office in Chbar Ampouv.

Adult passport $100, valid for 10 years, kids (under 6 yrs old) passport $80, valid for 5 years...don't need deep pockets.

It’s a recent development. I have solid info on this.

About one and a half years ago I was asked for 'legalization' of the required documents by the issuing Sangkat, or a significant amount of USD instead. Went to the DoI to ask for K-visa, they were greedy too, so had a nice weekend in Bangkok with my kid and got a K-visa when we returned. Once bitten, twice shy, I have passed on the Khmer passport when I can get an EU passport at half the fee in days and a K- visa for free. It takes a lot of departures from Pochentong on a Khmer passport with a kid to make up for the passport fee. The refund is 3$ per departure for kids if I recall well.

There's a growing tendency in Cambodia to not just accept National / Sangkat documents, but ask for a seperate confirmation document instead. Experienced it twice since the passport fiasco, which was indeed at AEON 2.

You need big pockets to carry all your passports in. I'd rather take one each than 2 each. The K visa is easy to acquire at the airport.

What is this apparent recent development, and source? Kids are Cambodian Citizens regardless of whether one of their parents is a Foreigner, they are required to provide exactly the same supporting documentation as any other Cambodian Citizen, nothing more nothing less.

There have been people facing issues at the Aeon 2 passport office as I mentioned, and many formal complaints made to the relevant authorities, but no issues at the main passport office.

@Kammekor $7.50 refund p/p last time I flew out with the kids.

Anyway, I choose to have both Cambodian and Kiwi passports for my kids....some people are happy enough to just stick with Foreign passport and K-type Visa....individual choice, up to you

I admire your respect for basic principles. Kammekor's post tells us this has already been an issue for a while. I'm saying I think it's getting worse. Hopefully I'm wrong, we'll see.

@PSD-Kiwi when exiting on Cambodian but entering destination on foreign/destinations passport, which passport # have you successfully entered on the airline ticket when purchasing?

Seems there's three gates, 1) the ticket checkin, 2) KH Exit Control and 3) Destination Entry Control (DEC).

I _think_ DEC normally matches the passport with airline arrival roster, but perhaps not, or if so, not an issue if mismatched?

Thanks for sharing actual experience...
