Probably soon...just be prepared to pony up a lot of cash
- Visitors will have to make a $3,000 deposit upon arrival in the event that medical treatment is needed
- Visitors to Cambodia will have to pay $5 to be taken by bus to a testing facility upon arrival
- Visitors will then have to pay $100 for the RT-PCR test
- Visitors will have to pay $30 to stay in the waiting area overnight, and will have to pay an additional $30 for three meals
- If all the results come back negative, you still have to quarantine for 13 more days, but don't have to stay at a government facility
- All passengers will be required to quarantine for 14 days in a government designated facility
- This will come at an all inclusive cost of $84 per day, so that will cost $1,176
- An additional swab test will be required for $100
- In the event of hospitalization, the cost will be $225 per day, plus up to an additional $400 for up to four swab tests
- If visitors need to be cremated, that will cost $1,500, though it’s not known if this includes the cost of an urn

Not an option often seen in travel brochures
For smug individuals with comprehensive annual travel insurance, best to check the terms and conditions. Mine has clauses expressly excluding most things COVID-related for travel booked after March of this year.

Wow. They are getting very strict. Makes you feel confident to visit.
I received a Facebook memory thing of a year ago and it was one of my pictures of the sunrise at Angkor Wat

Still have my Cambodian visa for the trip I was suppose to take this year. Doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen, but does anyone think Cambodia will let up? The new restrictions they’ve placed on Americans entering doesn’t make much sense to me. Why open even at all with those ridiculously strict limitations and deposits?

As for onerous restrictions, countries that got an early handle on controlling the spread of C-19 are understandably nervous admitting visitors from other countries where the disease appears out of control.

Any update to their policy? Or anyone have any experience with entering Cambodia during this time and the deposit? I’d actually be willing to do it if I knew I wouldn’t lose out on all the money.

I’ve been tempted to go spend 1-3 months there. Not really bothered about the hoops to jump through either.
Unfortunately, when phoning the Cambodian embassy in London the say I would need evidence of work/study there as tourist visas are not currently allowed. If anyone finds different to this please share!

Secondly, what I’m worried about is the cash deposit and getting that back. Their government isn’t exactly known for its transparency and efficiency. I have to imagine the cash deposit of 3k or 5k or whatever it is, won’t exactly be in totally safe hands. Is there a way to use a credit card? How can you be guaranteed to get the cash refunded to you? I too have wanted to go hang out in Cambodia.
