Reports circulating today say the Cambodian government has ordered African nationals — including Ghanaians, Kenyans, Cameroonians, and Ugandans — who were benefiting from immigration waivers or overstay arrangements to leave the country by May 31, 2026. Authorities reportedly warned that anyone remaining from June 1 could face arrest, up to two years in prison, and an $8,000 fine.
According to the reports, Cambodia’s General Department of Immigration says enforcement will begin immediately after the deadline, including arrests at airports and other locations.
However, most of the current reporting appears to rely on copies of an alleged immigration notice and secondary media reports.
There has not yet been widespread confirmation from major international news agencies or an easily accessible official Cambodian government publication online.
So people should verify details directly with Cambodian immigration authorities or the nearest Ghanaian diplomatic mission before taking action.
