getting married with cambodian girl

adry73 · 2011-06-24T10:51:13+02:00

hello to everybody.. my girlfriend and me decided to get married and we are considering the easier way to do all the documents.. the new law for marriage in cambodia says that many documents have to be prepared if a foreigner wants to get married with a cambodian girl but from what i could read in internet it seems to be valid only if the wedding is in cambodia.. for getting married abroad it is enough that the girl get the certificate of single state.. am i correct? can somebody tell me which office provide the certificate of single state in cambodia? thanks in advance Adry

Hello!

I know that this thread seems to be for foreign men marrying Cambodian women, but I still thought I'd ask!

Does anyone know a little bit more about the $2500 salary requirement? Does that only apply if my future husband and I live in Cambodia, or is it regardless of location? Do I need to be able to consistently make that much per month for the rest of my life, or is there some kind of limit? Does it apply to foreign women at all, or it is just for foreign men? Finally, can that $2500 come from a shared business with my husband, or must I have an independent job making that much?

I've spent a lot of time on my embassy website learning about this, so I apologize if it was on there somewhere and I didn't see it!

Hello, I'm married to a local girl, and we got married in England, although we both live in Cambodia. Not sure where you're from, but you need to check whats required from your own country to get married there.

My wife did not require a certificate stating she was single, as per the laws in England. Although she may have had to sign a declaration stating she was single, at the time of getting married. (can't remember now)

If your wife to be requires this certificate, then she would need to obtain it from her own province, and at least one passport sized photo of herself. This document will probably be needed to be translated into the language of your country.

We got married in a uk government designated registry office. We obtained all the information required from them to get married there before we left Cambodia.

So so simple. 👍😁

Good luck.
