Phnom penh: The General Department of Immigration (GDI) of Cambodia's Ministry of Interior has dismissed as false recent online reports claiming that Cambodia ordered Africans with expired immigration waivers to leave the country by May 31, 2026.

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the GDI issued a press clarification on May 29, stating that certain websites, including campaigneronline.com and newsghana.com, had published inaccurate information under the headline: 'Cambodia Orders Africans with Expired Immigration Waivers to Leave by May 31, 2026.'

The General Department of Immigration emphasized, 'The information published on those websites is completely untrue.' The department urged both national and international audiences to rely only on official sources for accurate information regarding Cambodia's immigration policies and procedures.

The public is encouraged to access official updates through the GDI's website at www.immigration.gov.kh or contact the hotline at (+855) 78 38 66 99 for further information.
