Preah Sihanouk drive to register foreigners

[geovalin]

Preah Sihanouk provincial authorities have ordered all owners and managers of buildings to record details regarding all foreigners who are staying and working in the premises and register the information with local officials before September 24. Included in the order issued on Friday, was the instruction for owners to also send updates on the foreigner’s status to local authorities.

Preah Sihanouk provincial hall spokesman Kheang Phearum said yesterday that authorities have given landlords and managers 14 days to submit the information to local authorities. “If the owner fails to cooperate and allows foreigners without proper documentation to live and work in their building, they will be prosecuted,” Phearum said.

Authorities issued the order to uncover any foreigners who have no passport or visa to stay and work in Cambodia and to prevent human trafficking, forced labour, sex trafficking, confinement or torture occurring on the property. The order is to ensure public order and safety for not only locals but also foreigners who reside and work in Cambodia, especially in Preah Sihanouk province.
