The Government of Cambodia has announced the end of a waiver granted to African nationals, warning that strict immigration enforcement measures will take effect from June 1, 2026.
In a notice issued through the General Department of Immigration under the Ministry of Interior, the government directed all affected foreign nationals, including citizens of Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, Uganda and other African countries, to leave Cambodia on or before May 31, 2026, after clearing any outstanding immigration fines.
Authorities warned that any foreign national found entering or remaining in Cambodia from June 1, 2026, without proper legal status would be arrested either at airports or any other location within the country.
