Mail Khmer Passport out of Cambodia?
Hit up Greg from one Star foe the name of the guy he uses to DHL stuff. He is brilliant.

Simple solution is she carries both passports for a short period.
This is a non issue.
Not sure why DHL won't allow the passport to be sent with them, I have received a passport shipped with DHL.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

No one is going to let a Cambodian passport holder board a commercial flight to the US in the first place, without a pre-issued US visa. If she boards the flight using an ESTA?VWP eligible passport, that's the one which will be stamped by USCIS at the port of entry.

Unless of course you have a green card, which my wife does.
Thanks everyone for the advice.
I have used fedex and ems both no problems. Bullshit about sending passport via mail or courier service.
It is illegal to mail (including UPS, DHL, Fedex) passports, not just in Cambodia, but pretty much everywhere. None of those companies will accept a passport for mailing.Brianblanco wrote:Hi... My wife's Cambodian passport is now ready (she made application for it while she was in Cambodia earlier this year) and her brother tried to mail it to us but DHL (and other express mail services) have told him it's against the law to mail passports or something like that. Sounds like Khmer BS to me and perhaps solved by a bribe? Anyone have any experience mailing a passport out of Cambodia? My wife is still a few years away from US Citizenship/Passport so unless we get her Cambodian passport we can't travel abroad in the meantime. Worst case I guess I'll fly her brother to Bangkok so that he can mail it from Thailand. Thanks for any advice you may have.

What do you base this statement on? I have sent and received passports via Fedex in the U.S. and Cambodia. It's not illegal. I often use a visa processing service in Washington DC. I Fedex them my passport, they submit my passport for visas from third world shitholes, then they Fedex the passport back to me.preahkaew wrote: It is illegal to mail (including UPS, DHL, Fedex) passports, not just in Cambodia, but pretty much everywhere.

I have brought my passport to Fedex offices in Cambodia and the U.S., asked for a shipping envelope, and dropped my passport into the envelope in the presence of the Fedex employee and then handed the envelope to the employee. No problem.
Fedex publishes a list of prohibited items online, passports are not on it.
Moreover, please consider this excerpt from the Fedex website:

Well, now that you know it's possible ( thanks to gavinmac ) you were probably right about the surcharge. Oh, I mean bribe. Is there no end to the corruption here?Brianblanco wrote:Sounds like Khmer BS to me and perhaps solved by a bribe?

Just a thought. Maybe nonsense.
The OP wasn't clear in the reasons given for not being allowed to post it. It's certainly not an international law - could it be a Khmer law?
Conspiracy theory coming up.
The gov doesn't want international Khmers to vote. Sending passports internationally may be one way to restrict that possibility.
Probably nonsense & just a miscommunication though...
