An asylum seeker held on Nauru has agreed to resettle in Cambodia, according to messages seen by the ABC.
Cambodia has agreed to take refugees from Nauru who tried to reach Australia by boat.
The first charter flight to Phnom Penh was expected to leave as early as Monday.
The ABC has seen a Facebook conversation an advocate said is with a male Iranian asylum seeker, who said he approached officials wanting to take the deal.
The man said he has been told he will depart soon, pending his refugee determination.

"I don't know how many person they will go to Cambodia," one message reads.
"They said very soon you go.
"I don't know what time they will send me."
The Cambodian arrangement is for refugees and does not extend to those whose claims have not been processed.
Advocates say up to six people interested or have agreed to go
A Burmese refugee has also reportedly agreed to resettle in Cambodia, according to local media reports.
The Federal Government is not saying how many people have agreed to move or when they will depart.
The Cambodia Daily has quoted a Cambodian official saying the ethnic Rohingya man has volunteered to go.
"They have the refugee status already and he volunteered to come, through the verification of our Cambodian team," Cambodian interior ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak was quoted as saying.
"We have received only one volunteer and our team is now working with our Australian counterparts."
Advocates claim up to six people have expressed interest or agreed to resettle, and say the people are from Iran, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
The Federal Government is increasing efforts to convince people on Nauru to leave.
A video from Immigrarnment has offered resettlement packages including cash, help to find work, transitional housing, language training, and health insurance.
"This package will assist refugees to establish new lives in Cambodia and is available to those who decide to travel as part of the first group to Cambodia," the pre-recorded message said.
"There's no guarantee that this level of support will be offered to people who wait and do not commit to this first group."
Calls and messages to the minister's office were not returned on Thursday night.tion Minister Peter Dutton is being played one-on-one to refugees and asylum seekers on Nauru, and on public monitors, warning they may get less resettlement support if they are not in the first group.
