Dear Dear BritCham Supporter,
Cambodia is fully open for business visitors and tourists !
Following a hugely successful vaccination program with extremely high vaccination rates and low Covid infection rates, the Covid entry requirements for vaccinated business visitors and tourists have been dropped. The Visa on Arrival program has been re-instated and the PCR tests before travel and RAT test on arrival are no longer required.
With the aim of stimulating the economy, encouraging business investment and giving a much needed kickstart to the tourism industry, there has never been a better time to visit Cambodia.
