Cambodia Sets May 31 Deadline for African Residents or Face Jail and $8,000 Fine

The Royal Government of Cambodia has ordered all African nationals living under temporary waivers to exit the country by May 31, 2026. This directive affects citizens of Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, Uganda and others. Starting June 1, anyone found remaining in Cambodia without valid status will be arrested. Offenders face a two-year jail term and must pay an $8,000 fine before deportation. Authorities say nationwide sweeps will begin immediately after the deadline. All affected persons are urged to comply to avoid severe legal penalties.
