On paper I am eligible for citizenship, and have been for many years. The reality, however, is you need to donate $50,000 USD to the CCP (Hun Sen's Party) to get a Cambodian passport/citizenship.

It's out of reality at this time to go back in any way, shape, or form, and we have no means to borrow from anyone. Even just to return now the plane tickets, bribes, visas, work permits, travel/health insurance, quarantine fees, COVID-19 deposit, rent and deposit on a new place, and other things quickly jump to nearly $20,000.

It's a crazy new world. I miss 2010 when I flew to Cambodia with $500, and it was literally the wild west after paying my only annual fees of $300 to get a business visa with no questions asked. I don't know where we'll end up, but I like a wild west economy where you can hustle a living from $500 and a dream if you've got the talent and drive.
