Introduction
The Cambodian authorities had provided for a six-month transitional period, from January 1 to June 30, during which travellers were given the choice of adopting the new online procedure or filling in the three paper forms on arrival. But from July 1, 2024, all air travelers entering Cambodia, whether foreigners or Cambodian nationals, will be required to fill in their electronic arrival card, known as the Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA).
Cambodia is taking an important step towards simplifying and making travel more efficient by introducing the electronic arrival card (e-Arrival). This digital solution replaces the traditional paper immigration form (which will be accepted until June 30, 2024), marking an important step in the country's efforts to modernize its entry procedures.This new system simplifies and expedites all your airport formalities. You will only need to present your QR code, generated with just a few clicks on the official portal or mobile application.
By completing your online application up to 7 days before your trip, you can manage your electronic visa, immigration, health, and customs declaration all at once.
Say goodbye to tedious forms!
