Great news! As of November 15, 2021, vaccinated foreign tourists can enter Cambodia without quarantine!

Here is what you need to know to enter Cambodia as a tourist in 2021:

Getting a Cambodia Tourist (T) Visa

Visa on Arrival in Cambodia remains suspended. If you are not in possession of a multi-entry Visa Extension of Stay (EOS), then you need to apply for a Visa in Advance from a Cambodian Embassy or consulate. The criteria varies from Embassy to Embassy, so check with them directly.

Tourists can also apply for the tourist e-Visa (electronic online Tourist Visa) at www.evisa.gov.kh or through visa services such as iVisa.com.

Visa Exempt Entry for ASEAN passport holders has been reintroduced.

Cambodia Visa Fee

The cost for a Tourist (T) Visa is $36 USD.

How long can you stay in Cambodia on a (T) Visa?

The Tourist (T) visa allows you to stay in Cambodia for 30 days. You must enter Cambodia within 90 days of when your (T) Visa is issued.

Where can you enter Cambodia?

You can fly into Phnom Penh International Airport and Sihanoukville International Airport. Cambodia’s land and sea borders remain closed to entry for foreigners without prior authorization.

Requirements to Enter Cambodia as a Tourist in 2021

Preflight PCR Test
ALL Passengers, including children and babies, must have a printed medical certificate indicating a negative Coronavirus (COVID-19) PCR test conducted no more than 72 hours before arrival into Cambodia. PCR test result documentation must be original (not a copy) and must have a wet ink signature and stamp. See the Covid-19 Travel Medical Certificate Template that you can bring to your doctor. You should also carry color copies of your PCR test results just in case.

Proof of Medical Insurance
Foreign tourists must purchase a local health insurance package for COVID-19 treatment from Forte Insurance Company.  The cost is $90 for a $50,000 policy valid for 20 days.

We also recommend having additional insurance either through your home country that covers you abroad or getting travel insurance such as World Nomads or Safety Wing. It is recommended to print all of your insurance documentation in color and to carry multiple copies.

Covid Vaccination Card/Certificate
All fully vaccinated travelers need to present their vaccination card/certificate in order to be eligible for the reduced 7-day quarantine period.
You will need to present:
• Confirmation of complete vaccination status
• Final dose is required to have been administered at least 14 days prior to arrival
Your vaccine card/certificate must state:
• Travellers Name
• Type of Vaccine
• Date(s) of vaccinations
Note: Vaccine card/certificate must be hard copy (not digital on phone/tablet). If it is a card then make a color photocopy. If it is digital then print it out in color. If your original card/certificate does not have color then don’t worry about this. 

Quarantine Requirements

Tourists entering Cambodia on a (T) Visa who are fully vaccinated DO NOT need to quarantine.

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated tourists must quarantine for 14 days. In order to apply for a Cambodia Tourist (T) Visa, passengers must pre-book a quarantine hotel.

You will need to book your quarantine hotel in advance. The five approved Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) hotels in Cambodia are: Sokhha Phnom Penh Hotel and Residence,  Courtyard by Marriott Phnom Penh, Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh, Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, Himawari Hotel Apartments. 

These are the only ASQ hotel options for Tourist (T) Visa travelers. These hotels are priced between $1,200 and $1,600 for a 7-day quarantine.
