Cambodian Travel Visa

U.S. citizens must have a valid passport and a visa to enter Cambodia. Tourist and business visas are valid for one month from the date of entry into Cambodia. Cambodian immigration officials at airports now collect fingerprints upon entry using an inkless, electronic process. Be sure to visit the U.S. State Department website for the latest travel advisories related to Cambodia. And it’s always important when traveling abroad to understand the health and vaccination protocols outlined by the Centers for Disease Control.

Travel tips:
Cambodia is one of the most inexpensive countries in Southeast Asia. Your money will go a long way. However, beware of scams. One of the most prevalent scams is the baby milk scam. Scammers will plead for milk or formula for their baby. They will direct tourists to a nearby convenience store, whose owner is in on the scam. After you purchase the milk and give it to the scammer, they return it to the store for a payoff and the product is put back on the shelf. The Cambodian Riel is the official currency, but U.S. dollars are widely accepted. In most of the country prices are marked in USD, though you will likely receive Riel as change. Khmer is the official language of Cambodia.
