During the Danish summer holiday pretty much all of Denmark switches down to 2nd gear. When you’re working for a Danish company this means that its damn hard to get any work done that requires input from them. Therefore Karina and I decided to have a small holiday in the same period. We initially talked about Vietnam, but decided to go for Cambodia and visit the famous Angkor Khmer Empire. We’ve been reading a bit about the country, its history and what to expect and quite honestly – it isn’t really fun reading! It will be a very different experience from Singapore and we’re really looking forward to the trip.
One very positive experience when doing our planning was the ordering of our tourist visa. The Cambodian government has automated this process on the internet where you fill out an application form, upload a picture of yourself and pay the 20USD it costs. 3 hours later I had a mail in my inbox with a PDF file and a E-visa – as they call it. They have even included a visa-blog where you can comment on the process and suggest ways for them to improve. Now thats what I call service – and I bet none of you were thinking of Cambodia when talking about government e-services.
