Phnom Penh (FN), Jun. 20 – Tourists, expats and Cambodians will all have to complete an online e-immigration application within 7 days before arrival under the new scheme, to be launched on 1 July 2024.

The Cambodia e-Arrival (CeA) scheme will require all arrivals – even if they hold a valid visa – to enter their details via a mobile app – available via https://www.arrival.gov.kh/.

The new app replaces the previous paper based system and aims to streamline and enhance the arrival process.

The app process comprises of the following steps:

1. Registration: Travelers register by taking a photo and uploading their passport information.

2. Complete E-Arrival Card: This replaces the old paper immigration, health and customs declaration forms.

3. QR Code: After completing their application, a QR code will be generated. Travelers should save this QR code on their phones or present a printout to be submitted to immigration.

If travellers fail to go through the process, tablets will be provided at immigration so that visitors can go through the process.

The official website states that there is no charge to register and that ‘it is completely free for all travelers to fill in the e-Arrival Card by the official website or mobile application.’.

The new Cambodia e-Arrival (CeA)apps can be downloaded for IOS (https://apps.apple.com/kh/app/cambodia-e-arrival/id1492455515) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cambodiaarrivalform.immigration.gov.kh&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1)
