Foreigners will not be issued visa extension for failing to be registered

[geovalin]

Visa extension will not be issued for foreigners who fail to register in the Foreigners Present in Cambodia System by July, the Interior Ministry’s General Department of Immigration said yesterday. The electronic application form, which was created last year, aims to record data about foreigners living in and visiting the Kingdom. In a statement issued Monday, the GDI said its director-general General Kirth Chantharith has informed municipal and provincial police chiefs to enforce the Interior Ministry’s directive regarding the management of foreigners living and visiting the Kingdom.

 

“The GDI will not renew visas of foreigners staying in Cambodia who are not listed in the FPCS. This will be implemented on July 1 this year,” said the statement. In line with the directive, provincial and municipal police chiefs across the Kingdom should inform landlords to report foreigners staying in their houses so they could be listed in the app.

 

However, the new measure has raised some concerns among some foreign residents. According to its homepage, the application will record information about foreigners upon their arrival in the Kingdom and again on the date of their departure.

So what does someone do if their landlord did not register them? Is there a way foreigners can register themselves?
