Jan 30, Thursday 2025: An Indian Woman claimed that she was denied entry to Cambodia and was mistreated by officials. She claims to have faced racist treatment from them despite having a valid visa.
A Delhi woman recently shared a video that has gone viral on social media where she expressed her terrible experience of being denied entry into Cambodia despite having a valid visa. Nida Merchant narrated her experience on Instagram of how immigration officials in Cambodia allegedly mistreated her, leaving her feeling physically unsafe and disrespected.
Nida Merchant was traveling alone from Vietnam to Cambodia. She said when she arrived at the border, Cambodian officials refused her entry. She said in her post “They were laughing at me, and when I asked why I couldn’t enter, they insisted I get on a bike if I wanted to cross the border”
Despite carrying all the necessary documentation, she was told that Indians and Bangladeshis could be refused entry at land borders. Further, she said that an official locked her suitcase and asked her to accompany him on a motorbike if she wanted to enter the country. She said in the video, “My suitcase was broken, and I was scared of what they were planning on doing with me, as I was traveling alone!”
This incident made her feel unsafe and led to her trip to cut short. Additionally, she continued to voice her concerns claiming that taxi drivers told her that Inidans had been banned from crossing the border for months. She even warned other travelers about the discriminatory practices at the Cambodia-Vietnam borders.
