New form to keep track of foreigners in Kingdom- Foreigners Present in Cambodia System (FPCS)

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.

Sounds like Cambo is no fun anymore, starting now.

Of course all these forms and apps will be conveniently handled by the same tourist agencies we get our visa extensions from.

The government will realize in a few months they are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
It just depends on where more of their foreign exchange is coming from: Chinese, long-term expats, or short-term tourists.

I will start looking west not east. There may be no place left in Asia.

The app appears to be for accommodation owners who would most likely have smartphones.

The app is aiming for hotels, guest houses, etc etc. A 'rented house' or 'private house' or 'villa' isn't even in the list of accommodations....

Not really, you can download the app for free. And I haven't gotten an extension from a tour company for about 10 years.

Usually the police come to the house and fill out paperwork and take copy of passport and face pic.

I'm puzzled as to why they would not want a copy of a persons current visa or did I somehow miss that part ?
For house name I just put "house".

Phum number I had no idea, but being about 100m from the Sangkat office I chose 1 and hoped for the best.

And agree about the visa part, surprised it didn't require that.

The Interior Ministry’s General Department of Immigration said today that it will not issue visa extension for foreigners who failed to be register in Foreigners Present in Cambodia System by July.
