It always surprised me, the number of people who turn up at checkin with expired passports. I had always expected that checking one’s passport prior to travel would be a basic preparation.

The problem is in the word 'expired' I guess. Still 179 days before expiration but unable to travel.

I have reason to believe the young person in question is from the UK but I might be wrong. If so, it might also be worth figuring in the 18 week wait for UK passports these days. Brexit, yeah. Good luck with that.

Okay, the Brexit comment was unnecessarily cruel but what other country takes 18 weeks to deliver a passport to their subjects?

Well I understand your boredom but I say good luck to her, hopefully she'll be able to travel in 2024.

At least that's one problem I don't have. My passport is full after 2-3 years, so it doesn't expire. Not hailing from a failed state also helps - it takes me no longer than 2-3 weeks to get a new passport if and when needed.

I applied for a replacement UK passport on October 10th and received it on December 8th in Phnom Penh, so 8 weeks. I have heard stories of 12+ weeks, so maybe I was lucky. They advise the process can take up to 16 weeks.

If your niece is thinking of applying while traveling, be prepared for 16 weeks in one place - once you apply you cannot use your old passport.

You require a minimum of 6 months validity remaining on your passport when you enter Cambodia, whether entering with an e-Visa or Visa on Arrival.

But...to apply for a Visa Extension of Stay, then you must have at least 6 months validity remaining on your passport from the date the EOS you are applying for will expire ie. If applying for a 12 mth EOS then you need a minimum 18 months passport validity.
