Please note: All passengers travelling to Cambodia by air are required to submit an electronic arrival card no earlier than 7 days before their arrival. This new 'Cambodia e-arrival card' can be accessed and submitted only via the official website (www.arrival.gov.kh) or through the app available from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Please note that this Cambodia e-arrival card is mandatory. The same platform can also be used to reserve and pay for an e-Visa on arrival. You will need to submit a photograph electronically as part of this process. The cost for the e-Visa is US$36. Alternatively, a 30-day single entry Tourist Visa can be secured upon arrival in Cambodia. If you choose this method, you will need 2 passport-size photos (2x2 inch) and 4 blank passport (not "Endorsement") pages. The visa costs US$30 (subject to change and local administration fee) and must be paid in US$. Please have an exact amount ready; dollar bills must be clean and crisp, without tears or ink marks.

Please consult your physician or travel clinic about other vaccine/medication recommendations. You should be up-to-date with vaccines such as Covid-19, influenza, MMR, chickenpox, polio & DPT. The CDC recommends Hepatitis A and Typhoid. Malaria pills are a consideration. A tetanus booster is wise. Though all efforts will have been made to keep health and hygiene practices at the optimum standard, please note that diarrhea is quite common when traveling in Asia. This illness can be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, contaminated food or water. Infections may cause diarrhea and vomiting (E. coli, Salmonella, cholera, and parasites), fever (typhoid fever and toxoplasmosis), or liver damage (hepatitis).
