I am renewing my kid's aussie passport.
how do i get the K visa out of old and in to new ?
can he fly in on the new one and just show the old one as proof of the K visa until it is transferred ?
I could fly him on his khmer passport but i always prefer him to be there on the aussie in case any shit goes down.
Tranferring K Visa in to new passport
No need to transfer it, carry both passports, K-type visa is valid for life, when you next re-enter Cambodia just fill out the VOA app tick K-type visa and hand over both passports, they'll put a new one in his new pp.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Probably should be no charge right ?

Correct, the visa is gratis, absolutely nothing to pay.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
The K visa is a leftover from when we were permanently based in PP which i want to keep as a back up.
I might be wrong but I have always flown the kids back in to Cambodia as "Australians" because my understanding is that if they go in on their Khmer passports then they are in country as Khmer citizens and in the event of ......an event.....( you know...like..a coup requiring helicoptering from the rooftops or a haiti style disaster or whatever ) then the Australian Embassy is going to be less inclined to help them even though they are Aussie Citizens as well. I might be wrong.
Does anybody else take this approach or is it just me ?

http://smartraveller.gov.au/guide/pages ... onals.aspxBe aware that, if you enter your country of other nationality on that country’s passport, local authorities might not recognise your Australian nationality, even if that country recognises dual nationality. This may limit the ability of the Australian government to provide consular assistance.

Ha ....cheers ! Although.....why is it down to whether the country you are in "recognises dual nationality" ????? It is more a case of " will the Australian Embassy recognise it ?" surely ?

my understanding is both countries recognise dual nationality..my reading of the above is that in spite of this the more relevant thing is the passport you're travelling on in terms of representation..which was i think your assertion.

Even travelling in ASEAN is better with your australian passport because if something bad was to happen you'd get more assistance from Australian Embassy than Khmer one.ricecakes wrote:The K visa is a leftover from when we were permanently based in PP which i want to keep as a back up.

You are considered by the passport you travel with.

I don't think that's actually an accurate thing to say. If I have two passports, let's say a French and a Vietnamese, and I'm here in Cambodia on my Vietnamese passport and I'm arrested, you don't think that the French consular service would offer me the same assistance as if my visa was on my French passport? Having, or traveling on, a second passport does not remove your rights (or responsibilities) of citizenship from the first country. The French embassy would still provide me all of the same services (passport renewal, etc) regardless.Marinaris wrote:Even travelling in ASEAN is better with your australian passport because if something bad was to happen you'd get more assistance from Australian Embassy than Khmer one.ricecakes wrote:The K visa is a leftover from when we were permanently based in PP which i want to keep as a back up.
