Cambodia. Immigration department reviews procedure on foreigners

The Immigration Department is in the midst of drafting guidelines and procedures on the deportation of foreigners. A meeting to discuss the draft was held at the Immigration Department on Wednesday by top officials and other relevant stakeholders.

Immigration Department director-general General Kirth Chantharith said an in-depth discussion was held on the draft guidelines, taking into account the foreigners who arrive in Cambodia from all over the world. The draft guidelines and procedures are on better management of foreigners and immigrants in the country, taking into account the humanitarian aspects and bilateral relationships with their country of origin.

Gen Chantharith said the guidelines and procedures when it comes into force will be enforced uniformly across the country when handling and managing foreigners, including foreign migrants and workers. “It is also for the armed forces, especially the police, to use them as a standard guideline when dealing with immigrants when relocating them,” he said, adding it will be used as a handbook by all law enforcers when managing foreigners.
