Door to Door Immigration Checks in Siem Reap

Post by TheGrinchSR »

Just a heads up for forum members in Siem Reap, immigration are going door-to-door today checking visas and work permits. If no work permit, they are not fining people but giving them 14 days to sort their act out.

Strange story. Be interesting to get confirmation and/or additional details.

I'll wait for more details. Story doesn't make complete sense. I've seen too many people over the years completely misinterpret things as simple as a sangkat check, to accept at face value a vague 'two weeks till doomsday story' from facebook. Something might be going on but we need more details before determining what it is.

I'm not sure how, we've been visited by immigration and given fourteen days to get a work permit, qualifies as vague? It was not the sangkat but immigration.

A first hand report. Interesting. If your interpretation is correct, it would appear something new is afoot. Can hardly wait to see what happens in two weeks.

I applied in January. Still waiting for the document, as are many others. Two weeks? Tell them to fuck off.
