I want to claim refugee status in Cambodia.
I am from America but I want to claim refugee status in Cambodia. I wanted to ask you guys over there how refugees are treated in Cambodia as well as people of color who are leaving USA. Is Cambodia welcoming to refugees? How hard will it be for me to find work?
Also, how good is religious and political freedom in Cambodia?

You would be laughed at and told to buy a visa like everybody else.
There is no chance to seek asylum as an American. American people of color are generally treated fine.CharmingOwl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 6:46 amI wanted to ask you guys over there how refugees are treated in Cambodia as well as people of color who are leaving USA.
No.
It depends. What can you do?
Religion is fine, even the Raelian cult is tolerated. I believe they are still waiting for E.T. to give them a call.CharmingOwl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 6:46 amAlso, how good is religious and political freedom in Cambodia?
Life tends to become interesting for foreigners who get involved in local politics.
I assume that you are fleeing what you believe to be tyrannical persecution of republicans and want to criticize the legal proceedings against Trump and be vocal against vaccines and stuff. You can rant about that on social media as much as you like, unless you attack your embassy and its staff or pose a threat to American officials. Such activities have been proven unhealthy.
There’s a joint FBI-Cambodian National Police task force. If you commit crimes against Americans from Cambodian soil or otherwise behave as an undesirable then you will be treated thereafter, finding your visa difficult to extend or facing deportation and/or uncomfortable legal problems accompanied by small, crowded cells depending on severity.
Remember that you are and always will be a guest. Don’t shit on the carpet.

Refugee!
This has got to be a wind up.

It's not a place to run to here. In many cases you will be judged even harsher here by the conservatives at home. What you did on the sidelines back then is only reinforced here. Especially if you take advantage of locals who may be in a worse financial position than you. And if you are the type to loudly proclaim your dissenting opinions in the streets, here, as everywhere else in Asia, I would be even more careful. They don't tolerate it on any level.

I’ve said it before. Of all the many countries I’ve lived in, Cambodia seems to attract by far the most nutcases and buffoons from abroad. It’s impossible to tell who’s trolling and who genuinely is that stupid.
I have to lean quite heavily on user blocking both here and FB just to save myself the energy of puzzling out which is which.
If you are from Canada/USA or any such shithole it is understandable that you want to get out. I've seen that a lot of Canadians/Americans have been fleeing to Mexico.
But there is no reason to apply for refugee status, just get a visa like everybody else. And most importantly, leave the toxic US politics behind.

When I will go to Cambodia I will never exploit the masses by committing crimes against them. I'm not a republican I am just tired of living in capitalist society. Unfortunately North Korea is not open so Cambodia is one of the options besides Cuba. I am also not a criminal so I will not really have issues with the stuff you are saying. I guess I should find some sort of job over there.Alexandra wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 8:08 amYou would be laughed at and told to buy a visa like everybody else.

I hate to rain on your parade here but Cambodia is a capitalist society since the 90s. The socialist revolution you seek failed basically with the defeat of the Khmer Rogue. Pol Pot is long gone.CharmingOwl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 7:21 pmI am just tired of living in capitalist society. Unfortunately North Korea is not open so Cambodia is one of the options besides Cuba.

Laos, Vietnam or China could suit you better.

Yeah, you should just come over here as soon as possible. Then shave your head and put on some robes and get into the culture here. It's a dream world full of kindness and compassion and empathy. You'll never look back.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Yes. Sit tight and suck it up.CharmingOwl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 9:48 pmIt looks like I am stuck in Florida until North Korea opens for travel.
I’ll see you in the NK. Or CUNK as they say in the top end of Australia.
