e-Arrival Card app for foreigners coming to Cambodia to be launched in 2024

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

I had a quick look. They ask for the date when you are about to leave the country. Interesting question if you live and work there...
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

More or less the same as on the paper card. They ask for your length of stay.on that one.

Yes, but on the paper you can leave it blank (which I always do and never had any questions / issues). Online it is mandatory

Since all characters are allowed in that field you could just fill in 'unknown'.

My point is developing an app for just this is silly. A web portal will do, is much cheaper for them, and much more convenient for me, the traveler. I'm not one of those aiming for the largest amount of apps on my phone as possible, especially not those 'single task, one time' apps. They're a waste of storage space, I have to make the effort to download them, to delete them afterwards, and hope they won't behave badly in the mean time, like looking around in my phone and sending data to their server.
There is a Web portal, you don'thave to download and use the app if you don't want to...

it's asking "entering and departing cambodia"
last city
next city

i am confused. wtf does that mean? the last city you are arriving from? if i am transiting in DOHA.. that means the last city was doha?

or does this mean specifically Cambodia?
last city - PP
next city : PP

totally confused
It means last point of embarkation and next point of disembarking.

Just put any date, the departure date I entered differed from the date I departed, no issues.

Some people seem to be reading too much into this new system, it's not rocket science, it's exactly the same as paper immigration cards that we have been using for years, but digital....same same but different 😉
