Two Hopeless Foreigners Ask Immigration to Send Them Home

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.

Cambodia Breaking News (Phnom Penh): On August 2, 2019, two foreigners, one Indian and one Frenchman, went to the Department of Investigation and Procedures (from the Department of Immigration), asking for help because they have no visas or passports.
1. A 44 year old Indian man, YASH PAISINGH, went to the Department of Investigation and Procedures, because he is homeless and staying on the street with no passport.
2. A 51 French Man, ALAIN CLAUDE GALLOIS, also went to immigration officials, asking them for help to send him back home. He came to Cambodia on March 3, 2018, through Phnom Penh international Airport and his latest visa expired on May 06, 2018, and subsequently he had no money to pay for a visa extension.

The two broke foreigners were sent the Immigration Department to follow the legal procedures.

Anyone know the likely outcome of a case like this? Just out of curiosity...

It takes a lot of guts to do this so therefore there request should be granted... They should be offered the help they seek for.

Held in detention for long enough to see if they can hustle up some money from friends/relations for airline ticket/ overstay fines, eventually deported and not allowed back for 5-10 years. 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Why do you think deportation means going back home? I think if they don’t cough up money they will just drive ‘m to to the nearest Thai border. If their passports show they entered through Thailand they can even do so legally.

But they don't have passports and if they had friends or family to help them out in sure they'd probably not have felt the need to go to the DoI .

What I'm asking is, in a situation where someone doesn't have a passport, visa or any official documents, no money and absolutely no access to money, neither through friends or family, what happens then?

Are their Embassy expected to deal with them (pay four them to go home) or are they just banged up here indefinitely?

I guy i know who got deported to uk from new zealand had no means to pay.government paid it and he had an attachment to earnings order placed on him.so soon as he was working the money was taken out his wages bit by bit until it was paid. Of course cash in hand work would of meant he didnt have to pay as they wouldnt of known he was working.but cash in hand work is pretty rare in the uk nowadays.
