Immigration Crackdown

Hey guys. While getting a haircut today on Kampuchea Krom about 100 meters from Central market there was a massive crackdown. Inside my barbershop about 10 cops lined up everyone and demanded to see everyone's passport. After taken everyone's name down he lined 10 people inside the shop and took a group photo. Once the cops finished there they moved onto the next store. Outside 5 guys with AKMs along with various other men some in uniforms others dressed like Mao Zedong.

Also just heard from an older friend in Snookie. They come to his place and wanted to see his papers. They are also demanding back pay from years of living here!! He is freaking out but they gave him 6 months to come up with the paper work or the money.

Who carries a passport?

Obviously they weren't looking for you. I don't see a problem, nor do I see a connection with your buddy in SHV.

How many Afriques were in the shop?

^^^^ There's a long running thread on the other forum about this. I suggest you read it. This may be a problem or not.

Maybe a problem for some.

I can't imagine the Gestapo raiding Haircut shops, restaurants, bars, etc. demanding to see passports.

They all spoke khmer(I think) they pulled mostly Passports from Vietnam and some Chinese. The girls were scared.

How can you not make the connection between snookie and what I just saw?? I thought it was all hype and bullshit but after today its obvious. I teach p.t at night and I also got a letter saying if immigration comes to your own just show them this piece of paper and they will leave you alone.

You were outside the barbershop when this happened? Did they give you any grief?

mostly being used against viets, koreans and chinese, but quite a few barang caught up in the work permit thing.

Wackyjacky's advice to read the thread on "the other forum" is spot on. Vladimir's pessimism is shared by me as well. This is just the beginning. First they target the easy victims, but it will not stop there. For those of us us who are married to Cambodians and or retired with only break even income the nightmare has just begun. I'm afraid the readers of the other forum have reached a correct decision based on better information than the scanty bits here. They appear to be better read.

I don't know about the "married to Cambodians" bit, but life as an expat is getting much more difficult across the board for those of very modest means. Visa requirements everywhere will continue to get more strict and costly, and there don't seem to be any relief valves left....no other places to go (relatively inexpensive, fun and with desirable climates, anyway). The ending of era. Learn how to swim or sink like a stone.....

barang businesses in sihanoukville and kampot have been the subject of raids by immigration over the past few months for work permits.
The PP Post and Cambo daily have been full of it for weeks now.
