He needs to get in touch in writing with his embassy and ask them to please apply for voluntary deportation. It is now a fairly lengthy process and your friend needs to wait for the Cambodian government to accept and grant the deportation. In this case nothing happens without his embassy writing the Cambodian Immigration authorities first. The GDI across from the airport is overcrowded and they don't want him there. Consider that a blessing. His embassy may need encouragement to write that letter on his behalf.

This...the Immigration Detention Centre is full, basically they don't want to detain people because they have no space

As others have mentioned, try exiting via land border, more likely to be detained there.

if he doesn't have the overstay fee , He MIGHT be able to negotiate a lessor fee

If they turn him down......
What would be the outcome of that I wonder? They take less money or he gets locked up, leaving the embassy to step in and help. What about the other only option, cross the border with the migrant workers.

LOL

no idea what they would do .
They have 3 choices;
1, tell you to fuck off
2. take ur money and let you go
3. arrest you and send you back to PP

In 87/88 i used to cross back and forth illegally between Boi Rai an Pailin Province

BUT if you try and cross as a migrant, your departing without going thru Immigration, you will have no stamp exiting, and they wont let you in without a departure stamp from previous county, so you will need enter illegally and when you try and leave there.......

Well he don't have the money to pay the fine here, I would think the sentence maybe less in Thailand, and I would think better chance of the embassy helping you there.
But they are more likely to send him back to Cambodia.

Are visa agents in Cambodia able to help at all?

I know its a different country, but two of my friends who had multi-year overstays in Vietnam were able to negotiate a quite reasonable overstay fee and new visa through agents a few years ago.

Visa agents can help to a small degree with negotiating the overstay fine, but not significantly.

Does anyone know where a person can surrender to for Visa overstay issues?

We are trying this location tomorrow:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/depar ... 51,18.28z/

Any advice?

Try the DoI HQ on NR1, but they'll likely just redirect him to the DoI Visa Office at Pochentong again

Any headway for the person who overstayed?

He is in discussions now with the relevant ministry via a 3rd-party. He has not been arrested and has found a place to stay. When I have more information, I'll update this thread. As of now, things are moving, but slowly.

Immigration Department plans to ‘strictly investigate’ foreigners whose visas and passports have expired

In a meeting yesterday, the General Administration of Immigration in Cambodia vowed to strictly investigate and crackdown on foreigners who are in Cambodia with expired visas and passports.

.................In addition, foreigners living in Cambodia should be strictly investigated to check that their passports and visas are both valid and unexpired.
