geovalin Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 With border reopenings after nearly two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the General Department of Immigration (GDI) plans to address the issue of foreigners who had been stranded in the Kingdom and whose visas had long expired. During this period the government on humanitarian grounds had automatically allowed them to stay on without legal action. The GDI now expects foreigners whose countries have reopened their borders to leave Cambodia quickly. Those who do not do so will be rounded up and detained before deportation. According to the GDI, an estimated 400 foreigners have been stranded in the Kingdom over the past two years due to the pandemic. The Director General of the General Department of Immigration of the Ministry of Interior, General Kirth Chantharith said yesterday that the GDI on Tuesday held a meeting to deal with the issue of foreigners who persist in overstaying despite being able to return to their home countries. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501077935/time-to-leave-gdi-expects-overstaying-foreigners-to-head-back-home/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
