Requirements to enter Cambodia
I'm planning to visit Cambodia for marriage during the first quarter of next year. Has any of you gone there when the restrictions were lifted on 11/15? If so, did you have trouble with the travel requirements when entering the country?
apparently they don't want ANY new barang coming in so they're staying silent on this. I'm gonna try FB groups. SOMEONE somewhere has posted experiences on Cambodia entry in the last month.
good luck Bub, try and mix some realistic into that optimism.

I have posted the full details in other relevant threads, never saw this one when it was originally posted. For the most comprehensive, current and accurate information and advice on the current entry requirements and restrictions, I suggest joining the "Cambodia Visa and Work Permit Group" and "Cambodia Quarantine Experience Group" on Facebook.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Thanks for the summary.
Let us see, when the panic hits and entry quarantine is reinstated for everybody
Not to say, when the lockdowns come up again
14 Omicron community spread cases in just 48 hours.
PM calls for ‘immediate action’ against growing community cases of Omicron as 10 more community cases announced Monday evening
Things can go really haywire now, in just a short time, since the in Cambodia widely used China vaccines give very little protection against Omicron.

Does anyone know how strict they are with the wet signature and stamp requirement ?
Everything is digital here, will printed version suffice?

Cambodian officials aren't really fussed about the wet ink stamp/signature these days, however many travellers are still being denied check-in/transfer by airlines staff for not having, especially those flying on SIA from LHR.starkmonster wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 6:57 pmDoes anyone know how strict they are with the wet signature and stamp requirement ?

Simple fix... "Original" ink stamp from stationary store/Amazon and blue pen... just ask GavinMac.

I received my booster/third shot but wasn't expecting to so I didn't bring my vaccination card with me. Should I have my doctor sign it?

It's always worth obtaining a record of a shot, just in case.

As of right now, you don't need a booster to travel to Cambodia or transit Korea or any country on the way though.
That could change though. Some countries do have a booster requirement to enter without quarantine. Cambodia could do that at any time.
You could take a wait and see approach on this or just have the doctor do it the next time you are there but don't make a special trip for it.
