Widespread Immigration Raids Target Foreigners Working Illegally in Phnom Penh

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.

All Khan Toul Kok, or nearby.
A variety of industries.
Locally instigated? Or just getting started here?

However, they are not arresting and/or fining the employees caught working without the relevant documents, but the business owners, and giving the employees a warning and deadline to get their documentation in order.
Interesting , that is actually the best course of action they could take.
Filipinos are not all maids or English teachers , I've met quite a few who were in marketing or business/accounting or various supervisory positions.

Anybody know what the going tariffs are for employers when found with “illegals” or “non-conforming”???

Is there a long holiday coming up??
