I'd wait for something more official. That lady in Kampot likes to peddle sensational stories to get people going only to backpedal when clearer information arises.

Isn't that the same woman who very recently claimed to have had a bunch of passports and dozens of thousands of dollars stolen? She was issuing warrants and stuff looking for some bushman.

Someone said they needed the help of a "high rank7ng immigration official" to get their passport returned from this agent.
A search returns a lot of false info. Sensational stories seem to be the norm for this one, yes. Better tread with caution because this agent seems very sketchy.

I went there and after 3 weeks i only got my passport back due to the intervention of a high rank7ng immigration official that i knew personnally, but with no visa extension. Had a receipt, and she did not dare withholding the money. The immigration guy was riding her hard! Just 5ell me if it was meta, mrs lai, please

Yeah correct, she was out of the country conveniently when all this happened and the people did a runner. It was all very dodgy, a few buddies in Kampot had a similar experience to you and tried to raise it on the KP noticeboard, but as she is one of the sacred cows of KP their complaints mysteriously disappeared. Anything for a quick buck. Saw a few weeks back she was saying "visas taking up to 4 weeks plus, not my fault but make sure you get the visa early" wonder if that was true or just a way for some quick money.fax wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 9:54 am Someone said they needed the help of a "high rank7ng immigration official" to get their passport returned from this agent.

Also as the land border is so close to KP makes ya wonder if this is another story to get people in. Although in this case any loser who does get an overstay fine deserves what they get, unlesss it was because Meta visa kept the passport too long!!!
Re: Overstays MUST be paid in Phnom Pehn or airport,cant pay at land boarders anymore
Probably a scam. Pay her, arrive at the border and find you have to pay again as the paperwork you have been given ain't worth sht. People who have overstayed by a few days won't want to overstay any more and incur an even greater penalty/fine. So they pay up, whine, grumble but forget about it in a few days. Meanwhile, the lady keeps reeling in the suckers.

Re: Overstays MUST be paid in Phnom Pehn or airport,cant pay at land boarders anymore
ur missing the point and the post is NOT about if meta scams people or not, she is merely pointing out what she heard..
On her fb page which i linked;
what i got is that you can not longer go to the land border and pay an overstay fee but must do it in advance.this letter information sent to us thruoghtout our big contact in visa immigration
Update news for over stay on visa !!from monday any overstay will not allow to pay at any border crossing ,all over stay have to request payment in pp imigration first before you allow to leave the country !!
So can ANYONE confirm or deny this??

Think you are missing the point PR. Nothing Meta usually says is true so considering there is nothing in the news or anywhere else we can conclude this is in the "not true" basket

theyre not missing the point, theyre just rightfully pointing out that this woman isnt a reliable source of information and have been giving examples and people should wait until an official announcementphuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 12:09 pm

Wouldn't surprise me though...that this change comes in to force.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
