I want to marry my Cambodian lady

Hello Fignewton.

Your problem is a US problem so I suggest you research the US requirements to bring your lady to the US to live. There is nothing Cambodian officials can do for you, it's a US thing.

But when you live in Cambodia and want to get married, you can do that outside, like Thailand, Hong Kong and more. After that you will have to register your marriage in Cambodia.

Quite some hoops to jump through. It would be easier if you wait til you're retired, then expatriate to Cambodia and live with your lady, married or not.
But that is up to your personal situation.

Good luck.

Thanks , I appreciate your help. Please bear with me on my questions. I just want to get this right the first time.
So....
1. Hong Kong or Bangkok ; is one "better/easier" etc than the other for me to marry my Cambodian lady?

2. I was under the impression that Cambodia did not recognize a marriage performed outside Cambodia, true or not? Especially one to a foreigner over 50?
