The practical checklist we wish every traveller had before flying: the right official forms, the first money decisions, the apps worth installing and a calm arrival plan.

01

Official entry steps

  • Check the visa rules for your passport on the official Cambodia e‑Visa website.
  • Submit the free Cambodia e‑Arrival within seven days before arrival or on arrival.
  • Keep your passport, approval documents, first-night address and return/onward details together.

02

Money without friction

  • Tell your bank you are travelling and bring a second payment card.
  • Carry a small amount of crisp US dollars for arrival, then use reputable bank ATMs.
  • Install a live currency converter and check the amount before confirming payments.

03

Your arrival phone setup

  • Install Grab or PassApp before departure for rides.
  • Download an offline map of your first city and save your accommodation.
  • Keep screenshots of bookings, entry documents and emergency contacts offline.

04

A calm first hour

  • Use the official taxi or ride-hailing pickup option; ignore unsolicited approaches.
  • Buy a local SIM/eSIM only after comparing data validity and activation terms.
  • Message your accommodation with your flight number if arriving late.

Entry rules can change. Recheck the two official links shortly before departure.
