I was due to fly from Kuala Lumpur after spending two months here on my tourist visa and extension but now they have closed their borders until April. Any ideas how immigration will treat people who over stay their visas due to travel restrictions

Would be nice to think they might forgive overstayers in these circumstances. Otherwise you/we might be forced to do visa runs to Thailand or somewhere else in the meantime.

like this?


seriously though, they need a solution

Knowing Cambodia they will treat it as if it is your problem. On the positive side, they do have the $10 per day overstay option (although I’m not sure the Maximum number of days).

If you’re not one of the 5 banned nationalities you could do a border run to Thailand.

I hope everything works out well for you.
One idea:
Perhaps have a travel agent ask on your behalf (without revealing your details!) whether immigration can offer some kind of emergency extension for an already extended tourist visa under these extraordinary circumstances.
