Two British Arrested for Overstaying in Cambodia

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.

Two British Arrested for Overstaying in Cambodia

Siem Reap: Two English have been overstaying in Cambodia and were arrested by immigration police in Siem Reap during an administrative crackdown/search on 22 July 2016 in Mondol 3 village, Slor Kram commune, Siem Reap province.

Police said the foreigner named Gavin Martin Patrick Christopher, male, 54, English, Unemployed and Pauline Ann Mirgan, female, unemployed.
The foreigners told people that they are couple and they entered Cambodia in 2013 via Poi Pet international border. Police added that, they were arrested for overstaying and unemployed and plus they don’t have money to extend their visa.

Currently they are being detained and questioned at provincial immigration department’s detention center and are being prepared to be deported out of Cambodia via provincial airport.

Well, there goes my theory that expats in SR are classier than our dearly beloved expats from Sihanoukville. ;)

Because they can afford to pay for visa extensions. Anyone who can't afford $280 a year for a visa extension has some serious issues!

Deported today, August 8 2016.

They look happy and relieved to be leaving - and also much healthier than in their arrest photos. Is the immigration department running some sort of rest cure for foreigners ? Well, safe trip ! :wave:

But, what I'd really like to know is how/why they managed to get deported for a visa overstay ? We see some foreigners here who are really sick and desperately need to be deported home and no one lifts a finger. :?

How to get (someone) deported if necessary ?

Very good. The Cambodian judicial system in action.

Next...the Cambodians that murdered a Frenchmen and his four children.

Ha!

Just kidding.

These people are clearly the last sorts of people we want here.

Glad to see the Cambodian police in action.

Still wondering why these two get to go home and they don't even have festering feet or worms ? Article says they didn't have enough money for a visa, so who pays for the plane tickets ?
I'm not saying they shouldn't be deported, just wonder how this works. Some go home, some stay on until they rot.
