Why do people do this ?

Why not follow the official procedures if you want to live in Cambodia ?

When someone who isn't destitute or a druggie lets their passport expire, my primary suspicion would be legal trouble back home that prevents them from applying for a new one.

It's often the case of "If they could, they would."

Shit happens, and there's more reason than one that prevents people from "following official procedures" here, whether it be issues here or back home or both.

Always surprises me when I see Japanese, South Korean or Chinese passport holders who have overstayed their Visas, especially considering they are eligible for 1/2/3 year Visa EOS's, unlike the rest of us who can only get 12 month maximum at a time.
