You want to travel internationally in a time that people are urged to stay home in order to contain the virus?
I can't believe this,聽 you're as bad as the 34 French coming here and visiting many places.聽 All French are now In treatment and who knows how many people they have infected!
Don't travel internationally,聽 stay where you are!

Anyone else聽 had their flight cancelled a聽 day before they were meant to leave Cambodia to return to聽 their home after a two month visit and now find they are stuck in Cambodia with a visa expiring and when trying to source a flight ticket out, find that no agents are selling tickets to anywhere?
So yes...Im a little bit serious...
ps, can I come stay on your couch for a month, or maybe 6, to try make my cash reserves last as long as possible?
It's a pity , no irish embassy in Phnom Penh , but I can see this :
"""Emergency Assistance
Because there is no Irish Embassy or Consulate in Cambodia, we are limited in the help we can offer you in an emergency situation. However, if you need assistance, you can contact the Irish Embassy in Hanoi.聽 聽"""""""
( from the site :聽 聽 )
Embassy of Ireland ,聽 Hano卯 , Vietnam :聽
Sorry , can not help more , good luck to you , Ch
May chalk it down to an unexpected mis -adventure...

Everyone saw this coming,聽 closing borders and canceling international flights were already overdue. Some people keep travelling unless they are told no.
I'm glad flights have been canceled and borders have been closed.聽 The majority of cases in Cambodia concerns imports,聽 either Cambodians coming home but even more cases due to not-so-clever foreigners.
Don't travel internationally!
What you post is of no real assistance聽 to anyone.
Thanks.
Read today that Emirates that had grounded their entire fleet a few days ago have been convinced by Govts to get their planes back in the air, So they are starting some of their routes again, plus W.H.O have said grounding flights and closing borders are ineffective and doing more harm than good.
Hopefully things start to improve from here.
Streets are dam quite in Phnom Penh,聽 The hotel I was staying in has shut up shop, I checked out today and the remaining guests were all sent to another hotel.
Take care.
If you are collecting SSI and income less than 75K in 2019 and have direct deposit, even if you didn't file in 2018 or 2019 but did get the SSA 1099, within a few weeks you should get $1,200 deposited into your bank acct.聽 If you go to IRS Website and look at the coronavirus update, disregard what it says about having to file, they changed to where you don't have to do anything if you didn't.聽
If you are not collecting SSI income but elsewhere, if you qualify, you can still get it.
So based on media reporting in the states, State Dept announced it would do everything possible to help Americans oversees to come back thru every means possible.聽
I hope this helps, keep your hands disinfected and avoid touching your face when you are out.聽 Washing your hands thoroughly and often and void touching your face is your first best defense as well as keeping your distance from other people.聽 Wearing a N95 face mask in crowded situations may not be a bad idea but if you don't take proper care and maintenance, you can get infected from improper handling as well.聽 Also, do not think getting back to the states will keep you out of harms way right now.聽 Nation wide implementation of "Social Distancing" is in effect until the end of April.聽 So as others advise, staying put if you can get financial aid would be your best bet until things cool down.
Sorry to hear about your situation, I wish I was there to help you with lodging but came back home in the States to work back, but now I see myself unemployed instead so, I wish I would have stayed there instead. My relatives don't speak English, and I'm the only foreigner they are use to seeing. I live in the Koh Kong province area when I'm there.
Sorry to say that JoeKhmer was right when recommending that you should stay put, and yes, you are struggling, but believe me you are in a better place.
Don't despair mate!
I know that the Cambodian government did implement an extension of the tourist visas and other regulations without penalties.
Check out the Phnom Penh Times online if you can. They posted information and other assistance needed for foreigners such as a voucher for hotels and no penalties fees for expiring visas.
Good luck and may Buddha bless you.
