Hotel, condo owners given three months’ grace to register foreigners

Phnom Penh authorities on Tuesday set a three-month deadline for all owners of hotels, apartments and condominiums to strengthen the management of foreigners who stay together to prevent them from committing crimes such as human trafficking, illegal gambling and money laundering.

The deadline came when Phnom Penh authorities summoned about 400 people who own or run hotels, apartments and condominiums in Phnom Penh to guide them on the management of foreigners. Huot Hay, Deputy Governor of Phnom Penh, said that the focus is on the management of foreigners to prevent human trafficking, illegal gambling and money laundering.

“Over three months the administration will disseminate the law to the owners of hotels, apartments and condominiums from April to June,” he said.

“Thereafter, a team consisting of law enforcement officials, local authorities, Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Labour will inspect their business locations,” he said.
