What Is the Cambodia Arrival Card?
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is a digital immigration and customs declaration form introduced by the Cambodian government on 1 July 2024. It replaces the old paper-based immigration form, health declaration, and customs declaration – combining all three into a single online portal available at arrival.gov.kh.
All travelers arriving at Phnom Penh International Airport and Siem Reap Angkor International Airport must complete the e-Arrival Card before boarding their flight. Learn more about what the Cambodia Arrival Card is.
