Covid-19 testing and quarantine COVID-19 Guide for Travelers to and in Cambodia

From May 2022, fully vaccinated travelers no longer need to do a rapid Covid-19 test at the airport once they arrive in Cambodia. You must present evidence of your Covid-19 vaccinations.

Unvaccinated travelers, however, must take a PCR test for Covid-19 at least 72 hours before arriving in Cambodia. Upon arrival, they must undergo seven days of quarantine at a government hotel. The traveler will do another COVID-19 test on the first day before entering quarantine, before doing a final test on day seven. If you quarantine at a government-designated hotel you’ll need to deposit 2,000 USD to cover these costs. The deposit should be paid in cash. Any unused funds will be returned to you.

Medical insurance

Foreign travelers will need medical insurance that covers treatment for Covid-19 at a minimum of 50,000 USD. The insurance must cover a range of treatments, such as quarantine if found positive and hospitalization.
