The Australian government says overstay fines are USD 10 per day with no upper limit. An overstay of less than 30 days can be paid on departure at a border crossing; a longer one is paid at the Visa Office opposite the former Phnom Penh International Airport. It says the authorities will not let you leave until the overstay is resolved, and that an overstayer may be detained at an Immigration Removal Centre, deported at their own expense and banned from returning. The UK government also says there is no limit to the fine.

Done by the accommodation or the traveller.

The UK government says Cambodia's Department of Immigration runs an online registration app, the Foreigners Present in Cambodia System (FPCS). It says the manager or landlord of a hotel, guesthouse or rented accommodation registers guests in the app, and people staying with friends or family or in their own home must register themselves; a Cambodian phone number is needed for the registration to be valid. The UK government also says that if you fail to register, you may be unable to extend your visa. Australia's Smartraveller says the General Department of Immigration requires all foreigners to be registered in FPCS.
