Not surprising. Their economy is heavily dependent on tourism. Much more so than LOS. Cambodia cannot afford to remain closed for too long.

Here's a good starting point for learning how to proceed.

It's not true.

Check your passport stamp. If it says "permitted to stay until" and the date is 26-Mar or after, then you don't need to do anything. Automatically extended until 31-July due to the Covid Emergency.

Thanks for the visa advice. 🤪

...After some thought, I now understand. This is not a deterrent. It is a cover-my-@$$ document for them. We told you that you don't have to extend or pay, but if you insist on it for your own peace of mind, then we will process your app and fee. By signing this, you acknowledge you were not misled or coerced...therefore you have no recourse against us as it was you who elected to proceed, although we advised you it is not necessary.

Is there any reason they are providing this? It seems to cast doubt on whoever might believe they are covered. What is the point of the amnesty if you have to cover yourself anyway with this??? Or is this for folks who are.on the cusp of the amnesty date?

You need to go in and get your Under Consideration stamp converted to "permitted to stay until". If they give you that stamp with a date that is after 26-Mar, then you will be covered by the amnesty.
