Popular Post geovalin Posted March 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2020 Sok Phal, Secretary of State at the Interior Ministry, has exclusively told Khmer Times that he is seeking approval from the Minster of the Interior Sar Kheng to waive overstay fines for tourists stranded in the country due to the ongoing severe disruption to flights caused by COVID-19. . “We [the Ministry of Interior] will issue the directive by the end of this week. Many tourists, including a majority of Chinese visitors, have no choice but to stay past their visa expiration date because of cancelled flights and border closures that are happening because of the pandemic,” he said. Sok added that officials are currently collating the exact number of people whose legal documentation to stay within the country is no longer of use. “When we receive the total number of ‘overstay’ tourists, we will ask the principle from the Interior Minister and the government to turn our proposal into a directive,” he added. “This issue is not because the visitors do not want to go back their country but because their country closed the borders or there is currently no return flight home,” Sok adds. Currently, the Ministry of Tourism says it is employing a “flexible” approach to aid travellers having problems leaving the country. This includes working with relevant authorities in stranded national’s countries to smooth the process. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50705759/overstay-charges-might-be-waived/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
