For the most comprehensive, current and accurate information and advice on Cambodian Immigration policies and procedures, including the current entry requirements and restrictions, check out the "Cambodia Visa and Work Permit group" on Facebook.

Do NOT rely on Government, Embassy, Airlines or Travel Advisory websites, as unfortunately the majority of them are displaying outdated and/or completely incorrect information. The Cambodian Embassy in Thailand's website is mostly up-to-date.

Here's the basics...

"The pre-departure test requirement for travellers transiting through Singapore will be removed from 22 February 2022."

Singapore Airlines have announced this today, should help a few.

Yes I understand that but couldn't be arsed trawling through all the "test on departure questions" 😅

I could have made it more relevant to be fair, as what it gives us now is one requirement of a PCR 72 hours before arrival without also having to factor in making it 48 hours before departure if transiting Changi.

@CEOCambodiaNews Maybe this thread could be pinned for a while at the top of Ask the Expats? PSD-Kiwi has outdone himself with the complete Cambodia entry requirements.

Might also make the headline a bit more informative: Cambodia entry requirements, February 2022 (Complete).
