Cambodia travel FAQs
Do I need a visa to travel to Cambodia?
A tourist visa is required for most foreign nationals entering Cambodia. You have two main options: apply for an e-visa online before your trip, or get a visa on arrival at major airports and specific land borders with Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
Upon arrival, you may also be asked to provide:
- A valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity and two blank pages for stamps.
- A completed arrival card (if applicable, typically within seven days of arrival).
- A recent passport-sized photo.
What is the internet access like in Cambodia?
In Cambodia, internet service is generally fast and reliable in urban centers and tourist destinations. However, as you venture into more remote regions, expect the connection to be spotty or slow.
Is tipping customary in Cambodia?
In Cambodia, tipping is a gesture of appreciation rather than an obligation. While it's not part of the traditional culture, leaving a small gratuity of 5-10% for good service—whether at a restaurant or for a driver—is always welcome.
Can I use my mobile phone in Cambodia?
You'll generally have good mobile phone coverage in Cambodia's cities, but service can be limited in rural areas. To use your phone while traveling, make sure you activate global roaming with your provider before you leave, or consider buying a local SIM card upon arrival.
