ירי ילדים והפצצת אזרחים דורש אומץ, כמו גם הטרדה מינית של עובדי ההוראה.
I think if you read what the OP says you will see that local officials are, as usual, doing their best to make sure it does not happen. I hear that many women dream of getting married rather than not getting married at all.gavinmac wrote:I've heard that many women dream of getting married in the presence of a lot of friends and family.RBD wrote:Unless you have a specific reason to have a Cambodian wedding cert, it is a waste of time and money to marry here.

I wouldn't know, it's just what I heard.
Can't be reading all that but it's generally considered bad form to be tupping the help. Marrying them? Fuck's sake.
Very straight-forward. Have a friend doing it soon in HK with a Khmer girl (due to the normal legal problems faced here, him being foreign etc. etc.). No issues at all so far, I believe. Basic documents sent in advance to legal firm in HK (notarized passport copy, proof of prior divorce if relevant etc); fees paid; trip to HK for signature within a set time period; and it's done, with legal marriage certificate passed over. Of course it won't be recognised here, I presume, but, then, nothing normally is without a large payment or some legal issue.Lucky Lucan wrote:How does that work though?

And she doesn't want a party and he doesn't want to pay for, or worse sit through, one.

It's trivially easy for a barang guy to marry a Khmer woman in Hong Kong. Unlike Singapore there is no residency requirement.

There's no need for involvement of a legal firm in Hong Kong. They'll just add costs for no benefit whatsoever.RBD wrote:Very straight-forward.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
The benefit is you don't get your papers refused by the HK Registrar of Marriages (e.g. proof of prior divorce), or the timing wrong. That's a fairly big benefit for just $243 IMO. But of course maybe you think $243 is far too much to ensure that a life-time marriage process goes through correctly. Prefer to spend the money on beer (50c Angkor, of course). Got your wife to pay for your wedding, I presume?walkjivefly wrote:There's no need for involvement of a legal firm in Hong Kong.

What about the current rules saying a foreigner needs a visa 6 months or longer in order to marry a local? Now with the new rules visa 6 months or longer now require a letter from a Khmer employer. This visa is kinda impossible for someone who isn’t working in the KOW.

Thanks for the tongue-in-cheek response. I’m not white enough to get top pay at one of those English teaching places and so I gotta work outside the KOW to make ends meet.logos wrote: Get a job, you lazy bastard
Serious question. Anyone know if there will be a new directive on how a foreigner working outside the country can marry a local?
To get married in HK doesn't your Khmer spouse need a Freedom To Marry certified by her embassy in HK or the ministry in PP?
That's not going to happen.

If you can't manage to get a 6mth EB EOS without a WP, then just get a 6 mth EG EOS.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
Can you just run the complete visa situation by me one more time please PSD_kiwi?
pew, pew, pew, pew!
