In Cambodia, people pay for express services in most circumstances. In an advertisement by a local travel agency, there are a range of prices for a Cambodian national to obtain a passport.
Let’s take a look at this, extracted entirely from the recent advertisement:
- Make New Cambodian Passport: $134.00 (Need ID Card and Family Book, 50 days pickup)
- Make New Cambodian Passport (Express 3 weeks): $182.00; (Express 7days) $218.00
(Need ID Card and Family Book); (Express 3days) $278.00
With money, you buy time.
