As Cambodia waits for a potential COVID-19 vaccine, some foreigners who have been living in the country since the outbreak occurred are still wondering what to do about their expired tourist visas. The answer, according to General Keo Vanthorn, spokesman for the General Department of Immigration, is for those on expired visas to return to their home countries if possible.

 

The only other option is to sit tight. Gen Vanthorn said that according to Letter No. 761 of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, foreign tourists who came to Cambodia after January 1, and have not been able to return home are granted an automatic visa extension.

 

“With this regard, the status of those foreigners on expired tourist visas remain legal,” he said via WhatsApp. Gen Vanthorn said he did not know how long the visa extensions would be granted.

AFAIK this is a must.

 

He also said they should register with the Foreigners Present in Cambodia System (FPCS).

 

Might Thailand try this?   Or are the leaders too stupid to do this.  BTY it is easy!

Very accommodating ... Thailand, this may have helped your tourist spending over the last 7 months instead of

working on kicking them out

Yes indeed - correct. Any foreigner (tourist, worker or ex-pat) must be registered on the FPCS app. Again I emphasize, the onus is on your landlord/landlady, hotel manager, house owner, employer etc. to do this - not you, but worth mentioning it to them. You must be registered for visa renewals or extensions etc. Immigration Officers do travel around making checks.
