Preah Sihanouk provincial immigration police arrested two Europeans yesterday for overstaying their visas and said the pair will be deported. Provincial immigration police chief Khun Sorithy said the two men were arrested in their apartment in Pi commune and were later sent to the general immigration department.
 

The police report said Schoonjans Maarten, a 36-year-old Belgian who overstayed his visa by 35 days, and Rorich Tomas, a 50-year-old German who overstayed by 354 days, were arrested and sent to Phnom Penh for further questioning. Major General Uk Haiseila, the chief investigator at the Interior Ministry’s immigration department, confirmed that the two men were being held by immigration police.
 

He was unable to give a timetable for when they would be deported, saying it depended on whether the men had enough money to pay for their flights home. “We are going to deport them. Whenever they have money to buy a flight ticket, we will deport them on that day,” he said.
