Background
On 17 March 2026, the Director General of the General Department of Immigration, General SOK Vanna, chaired an internal meeting at the GDI headquarters. The meeting focused on reviewing and providing comments on a draft sub-decree concerning a risk assessment system for air passengers. The initiative falls under the mandate of the General Department of Immigration to manage and control immigration-related procedures at Cambodia’s borders.
Scope of Application
The draft sub-decree concerns the establishment and operation of a risk assessment system for passengers travelling by air. It is intended to apply to air passenger movements under the jurisdiction of Cambodian immigration authorities, particularly those processed by the General Department of Immigration at airports.
Key Provisions or Decisions
During the meeting, participants reviewed the content of the draft sub-decree on the air passenger risk assessment system and provided comments and suggestions. The discussion focused on refining the provisions of the draft instrument. The announcement does not provide further detail on specific clauses or operational mechanisms contained in the draft.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Once adopted, the sub-decree on the air passenger risk assessment system is expected to shape immigration control procedures for air travellers in Cambodia. Airlines, travel operators, and other stakeholders involved in international air transport may need to align their passenger data and processing practices with the requirements set out in the final sub-decree. However, detailed compliance obligations are not yet available at this draft stage.
