Cambodia

Singaporeans visiting Cambodia as tourists are granted visa-free entry for up to 30 days.

Cambodia has implemented an e-Arrival Card arrangement on 1 September 2024. If you are entering Cambodia by air at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap or Sihanoukville International Airports, you must complete and submit an e-Arrival Card within seven days prior to your arrival. There is no charge for this and the e-Arrival Card will replace the paper forms used for immigration, health and customs declarations. The e-Arrival Card can be accessed at www.arrival.gov.kh or through the Cambodia e-Arrival app, available on the App Store and Play Store for mobile devices.

Petty theft such as bag snatching are common in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. Thieves, sometimes on motorcycles, grab bags and other valuables (including mobile phones and passports) from pedestrians, motorcycle and tuk-tuk passengers. Hotspots for petty theft include the riverfront and BKK areas of Phnom Penh, and on the beaches in Sihanoukville. Do take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your belongings. Take care particularly at night when travelling alone. If possible, avoid late-night movement and dimly lit areas.

Cambodia is a developing country. While the capital city Phnom Penh and main tourist cities such as Siem Reap and Sihanoukville are relatively better developed, other cities/townships remain in varying stages of development and may not have the same level of transport, sanitation, healthcare and security infrastructure.

Singaporeans travelling to or residing in Cambodia should take the usual safety precautions. Due to ongoing tensions along the Cambodia–Thailand border, travellers should keep themselves updated on the latest developments and avoid non-essential travel to conflict areas.

We also advise Singaporeans to seek medical advice on the vaccinations required or recommended before travelling to Cambodia.

Overseas Travel – Be Informed & Be Safe [Updated on 5 February 2024]

Singaporeans planning overseas travel are reminded to take the necessary precautions, including being prepared to deal with accidents, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Singaporeans are also reminded to be familiar with your destination’s local laws, customs, and COVID-19 regulations.

Demonstrations do occur in major cities across the world. Such demonstrations can sometimes escalate into violence. It is important for Singaporeans to keep abreast of local news, avoid any protests or demonstrations and heed the advice of the local authorities.

When participating in outdoor leisure activities overseas, Singaporeans should be mindful that certain sporting activities, especially in open seas, may carry risks. Besides ensuring that one has the physical competencies and appropriate condition to undertake the activity, every effort should be made to ascertain if the trip organiser or guide is reliable and competent, and that appropriate safety and contingency plans are in place. When in doubt, Singaporeans should consult the relevant professional bodies or sporting associations for specific advice.

For those planning to travel, here are some tips:

Before travelling

• Familiarise yourself with our network of overseas missions.

• Purchase comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage.

• Equip yourself with research about your destination’s entry requirements, current situation, local laws and customs.

• eRegister with us on our website (www.mfa.gov.sg) so that we may reach out to you during an emergency.

While travelling

• Always take care of your personal safety, remain vigilant and monitor local weather news, advisories, and security developments.

• Exercise caution around large gatherings and avoid locations known for demonstrations or disturbances.

• Be prepared for possible delays and last-minute changes in travel plans especially during unforeseen events such as natural disasters, social unrest or terror attacks.

• Stay connected with your friends and family. Inform them of your whereabouts and provide them with your overseas contact details.

• In the event that you require consular assistance, please contact the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

Advisory: Email Scams

There have been reports of individuals receiving scam emails/messages purportedly sent from friends in distress overseas. These emails/messages typically originate from an email address/social media known to the receiver bearing claims of the sender getting into trouble overseas and urgently requesting financial assistance. The sender would also claim to have approached a Singapore Embassy/Consulate and the local Police for help to no avail.

MFA takes the safety of all Singaporeans very seriously. Singaporeans in distress approaching our Overseas Missions for assistance will be rendered with all necessary consular assistance. If you receive such emails/messages from purported friends seeking funds transfers, we strongly advise you to call them first to verify the authenticity of the emails/messages before responding to their request. It is also not advisable to give out any personal information such as NRIC/passport numbers, address, telephone number, etc. Any form of reply, even one of non-interest, could result in more unsolicited emails. Members of the public who suspect that they have fallen prey to such scams should report the matter to the Police immediately. Should Singaporeans abroad require consular assistance, they can contact the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 24-hr Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.
