Allegedly Certain Nationals Must Show $1000 Cash to Fly to Cambodia
Re: Allegedly Certain Nationals Must Show $1000 Cash to Fly to Cambodia
I've visted many many countries and I've never been asked to produce cash, let alone the sort of cash like that which might tempt some idiot to try to murder me for it. I try to carry much less.
Cheers

Sri Lankans have not been eligible for Visas on Arrival for several years, same as Nigerians, Iranians, Iraqis, Bangladeshis, Afghans, and a few others which I can't recall off the top of my head.

Makes me wonder what nationality those dudes that go hostess bar to hostess bar in Daun Penh with a bag of sexy clothes, displaying their wares to the working girls and trying to sell them. I figure they may be Indians or Pakistanis or Bangladeshis or Sri Lankans. Did they overstay their visas or somehow legally here?

All of the above, plus some Nepalese, these guys don't just sell their wares to the hostess bars, they're everywhere, even out in the small provincial villages. Every one I've spoken to is on several years overstay, and apparently they are constantly getting shook down by local Sangkat officials and/or police, those who don't pay often get arrested and handed over to Immigration.Clutch Cargo wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 7:25 pm Makes me wonder what nationality those dudes that go hostess bar to hostess bar in Daun Penh with a bag of sexy clothes, displaying their wares to the working girls and trying to sell them.

No change then, no clear policy. Officials can ask for an arbitrary amount, and if and when they do ask, you better have it - or else.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Fri Dec 23, 2022 5:11 pm The statement added that the inquiries of tourists about the amount to take with them is the responsibility of the officials at the international gate, which should be done only in some cases.
I can actually understand the airlines in this case. By being proactive about it, they hope to avoid having to fly rejected passengers back.
