Immigration Police going door to door in Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

There is 2 things going on at the same time here.

As a foreigner you should be registered in you local sangkat, this should be done by your landlord when you rent a house.

It seems like the ministry is going to use these records to find long tern residents that don't have work permits.

Since day 1 I've been covered so I'm not worried. But this is serious and they are cracking down on it. Be warned. This is not going to just go away like in the past... IMHO.

The tip of the iceberg chaps.

Once they've got you all registered and legal, then just wait for the taxman to come a'callin' to collect the tax you haven't paid.

Party's over!


If you're overly concerned, then perhaps it's time for you to relocate to Laos or Burma for a while. :shock:

Uuhhh...

Tell me when you see traffic police doing their jobs. That's unusual.
