PHNOM PENH, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia had deported 1,025 illegal foreigners, including 226 female, to their birth countries in five months of 2017, an immigration police official said Wednesday.
Major General Uk Heisela, chief of the investigation department of the General Department of Immigration, said the illegal immigrants with 35 nationalities had been expelled from the country during the January-May period after they lived and worked here without passports or valid visas.
"Some 712 (or 69 percent) of the deportees are Vietnamese," he said.
Under Cambodia's immigration law, any alien living in the country without valid documents such as passports, visas, or work permits are subject to deportation.
