I think the British Embassy is tired of all the whinging
Why are so many of these people so desperate to leave. They seem to me to be people who would normally stay as long as possible and breach their visa conditions. We are locked down in Australia but I would much prefer to be locked down in Cambodia.
Apparently they are broke, mentally ill, have 4 week old babies and will probably end up on the street because they don't have money to stay in a hotel and even if they did the hotels are closing down and businesses are refusing foreigners because they think that every foreigner has Covid-19.
They don't share your Cambodian family connections with in-laws on the countryside that can serve them food and beer every day of the week.

One of the guys in stranded Australian group who has decided to stay in Cambodia is adamant that he should be entitled to financial assistance from the Australian government to see him through his time in Cambodia.

Must be nice for you guys to sit there feeling great about your life here while you make fun out of us left stranded in this country by our government and take the piss out of those of us who can't afford the plain ticket to get home.
What a fine bunch you are. A true reflection of Brexit.

Your government stranded you here? You didn't come by yourself? Weren't you aware that the Covid-19 was spreading? The first case was reported here on 27th January.Dan Slaycool wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 11:50 amMust be nice for you guys to sit there feeling great about your life here while you make fun out of us left stranded in this country by our government..

Not sure how you get stranded as an expat. Isn't this now your home? Otherwise, your a tourist who didnt heed the travel warnings.

I arrived In December and extended my tourists VISAs to stay legally here.
I have booked 3 flights to get out each more expensive than the last.
I am not expected a refund on the first 2 for at least 3 more months.
I am not expecting a refund on the last at all.
I am not able to get a loan from the Embassy due to my menthal health.
but of course, you just knew all that before you took the piss, right?
You have never found yourself in a stucky situation and needed help, correct?

Do they make loan applicants get checked out by a psychiatrist before issuing the loan?

no, but I am registered under the mental health act as a known "suicide risk".. they don't tend to lend money to people who have a high chance of checking out before they repay.gavinmac wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 1:07 pmWhat mental issue do you have that precludes you getting a loan?Dan Slaycool wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:29 pm

This reminds me of Jerusalem by the Fall.
I was walking down the streets
When I tripped up on a discarded banana skin
And on my way down, I caught the side of my head
On a protruding brick chip
It was the government's fault
It was the fault of the government
I was very let down from the budget
I was expecting a one million quid handout
I was very disappointed
It was the government's fault
It was the fault of the government
