You already know on which day you will leave, but you don't know if you can pay the fine? Something is wrong with that plan, back to the drawing board!

Even with all these, I think they will take a very dim view of a 14-month overstay and you may well have a few days in somewhere very unpleasant while they deal with you. There are many acceptable excuses for a 14-month overstay. What do you have in mind to explain yourself?

AFAIK they don't do discounts, so you better have all the money or don't go there, or you might end up in their overstay detention 'facilities' and you won't like that.

@PSD-Kiwi is the guy you need to advise on the issue.

I've been following your helpful comments on people who find themselves in difficult situations and in need of good advice. I arrived in Cambodia on a one-month E-Visa in February 2023 for work. The person who brought me here promised to convert my E-Visa to a six-month work permit, but after a month, they left, leaving me stuck here without proper legal paperwork. Although my colleagues are kind, their kindness cannot pay for the penalty fees that I may incur. Sadly, I have been scammed out of $2000 when I tried reaching out to people for help. I was asked to send my passport, ID, and payment to apply for another E-Visa for a month and clear the rest of the penalties. I had to work for an additional six months to make up for the lost funds, but I am still uncertain whether I can cover the penalty fees. Is there any way to negotiate the charges?

You arrived in Feb 2023. One month later the person who made promises left, so that's April 2023. What have you been doing for the last year to fix your visa problems?

In April 2023, any visa agent could have got you a 1 year extention, plus a work permit - for a price of between $400 to $500, plus up to a month of overstay fees of $10 a day - providing you entered on a Ordinary (EB) visa and not a tourist visa. 95%+ of foreigners living here will know all this, so this must have been known to you a year ago by just talking to other expats. In April 2024 I doubt any normal agent could help you.

You say you have paid an agent $2000. When did you do that and what was it for? A visa and/or to pay overstay fees?

I have no experience of long overstay procedures, I have never allowed myself to get into that situation and I don't know anyone who has. However, I am fairly sure that at some point you are going to have to present yourself to the Department of Immigration opposite the airport and pay a huge overstay fine of $10 per day, so at least $4000 in your case, and be prepared to be detained until your flight is due to leave.

As for discounts, apparently the general rule is NO. However, if you have a prepaid flight home on June 15th (probably unusual for long overstayers, most are caught when broke) and you have a decent chunk of money - say $2000 - and you go to them a couple of days before the 15th, they might - MIGHT - decide to take all your cash, give you two days in the slammer and then frog march you to the airport on the 15th, because you are easy to get rid of. If you get away with this, you are doing well.

As for the Pakistan Embassy, it might be worth a try. As a rule, Embassies are here to promote the interest of their government, not citizens who get into trouble through their own fault. But yours might be keen to help you. It's worth a try, you need all the help you can get.
