You been told many times what to do.
Going by this thread your overstay is another 100$ because the thread started 10 daysago.
Suck it up, goto immigration, take lots of cash, they may not deport you. Pretty simple
No doubt that they could deport a person. I mean that they have deported many Chinese of late, but the borders are open between themselves. But regards a western person, what happens if that person entered from Thailand, or a country closed to tourists with travel restrictions.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Turns out I don't have to pay any overstay or even visit immigration. While the borders are closed I can get a one year retirement visa for $520. Sad the level of discourse on the site is so low. Perhaps the moderators might consider deleting this thread on the off chance that some people take these trolls seriously.

Maybe if you had told people you were in jail during the overstay someone would have advised you that the overstay might be waived.

Instead you withheld that information despite being asked many times and just saying “it’s complicated” and now you are whinging that people didn’t tell you that you could be excused from overstay during your jail stint?

Also a one year extension costs about $300 so I’m not sure who you are paying $520 to or why since you said agents wouldn’t help you.

Point stands. No need to go to immigration or pay overstay regardless of circumstances. Not a single person here gave accurate info. Maybe you can find other people to mislead with your troll comments

Of course the circumstances matter, like were you on a tourist or business visa and when did you enter Cambodia.

If you didn’t go to immigration, who are you paying $520 to for a $280 extension and why? You may be getting ripped off here if you entered on a tourist visa for which overstay is forgiven.

the extension of stays are the same, extra fees are often due to lack of correct paperwork

The OP was given the most accurate advice based on the very little information he provided. If he had advised us of fact that he was actually incarcerated, we could've provided more accurate advice.

I still feel we are not being given the full details, overstay fines are not being waived for those who overstayed an E-type Visa or EOS...only those who entered the country on or after 1st Jan 2020 on a T-type (Tourist) Visa, e-Visa (electronic online Tourist Visa) or Visa exempt entry (ASEAN passport holders).

It sounds like the OP was possibly actually here on a T-type Visa, it would make sense considering that he has been told no overstay fines because of COVID-19,
and because the DoI are finally allowing people to convert from a T-type Visa to an E-type Visa.

$520 is still $340 more than the official fee for a 12 month EOS...but I don't think the OP is going to argue about that.

Or overstay?
Or conversion from 'tourist' to 'ordinary'? :popcorn:
