Sounds like you're all sorted, a little bit of an overkill, but hey ya just never know what could transpire between now and your arrival.

For insurance, look at Safety Wing or World Nomads.

OP- if you're coming as a tourist only and applying for an online tourist visa in advance anyway, why not just use that when you arrive? Assuming the rules haven't changed, not getting an ordinary visa on arrival will save you time and get you out of the airport quicker and save you a full page in your passport.

Edit: or did you mean you would apply for an ordinary visa from your embassy in advance?

Thanks for advice ! I prefer ordinary visa on arrival best option due to better extension options....Tourist online visa as backup . Also ill buy throwaway /refundable "through" outbound ticket because booking one way to cambodia no return date set in case I buy a bar or some mining stock/fall in love/ect....Maybe I can spend double what I need to feel better , kinda like happy hour . We shall see !

I'm sure you could have offered some constructive advice for this member Username Taken? You have a wealth of experience regarding the KOW and are a very

senior member & moderator of this forum..

A youtube video of "Overkill song" is something you might expect from me, but I'm a bit gun shy to post memes or videos as I have been banned for trolling for the

exact same thing just recently.

I'm confused how this song actually helps assist the OP? apart from possibly mocking him for being over the top in his preparations. :hattip:

I think the e visa will be fine, then no need for the Visa on arrival, I personally would not bother with the PCR covid test, RAT's are acceptable at the point of entry from my knowledge. You are probably just overthinking it a little.
Enjoy your trip. :beer3:
