TBM Staff - Mumbai All travellers visiting Cambodia must present an electronic arrival card at least seven days before entering the country, effective since July 1, 2024.
This digital entry card, known as the CeA or “Cambodia e-Arrival,” will streamline the process for travellers and provide a hassle-free start to their journey. It will also replace the traditional paper immigration form, health form, and customs declaration, consolidating them into one convenient online portal, VisaGuide.World reports.
The CeA introduction follows the traditional tourism ‘high season’ and other high-profile events in Cambodia, such as the Water Festival, Angkor Marathon, and Kep Sea Festival.
The official government website, which allows for online submission of the e-arrival card.The Cambodia e-Arrival app, is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
For the time being, this process will apply to travelers who arrive by flights into Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports. Meanwhile, those entering Cambodia by land crossing, boating, or through Sihanoukville airport will continue to use paper-based forms.
Although the online submission deadline is seven days before arrival, people who missed the online submission can still execute the e-arrival process with the tablets available at Siem Reap and Phnom Penh airports.
Reserving an electronic visa on arrival (e-VOA) can also accelerate the arrival process via this platform. The cost of a tourist visa is USD 30.
When completed, a QR code is issued to be presented, printed, or electronically registered to immigration officials upon arrival in Cambodia.
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card was first introduced on January 1, 2024, as part of a trial program to simplify the entry process for both foreign tourists and nationals.
