The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

Cambodia Department of Immigration Updates Immigration Arrival Form

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia Breaking New (Phnom Penh): On June 20, 2019, the Immigration Department of the Ministry of the Interior has announced an updated immigration form for all national and international tourists arriving in Cambodia.

The department confirmed that in order to make arrivals in the kingdom more convenient and faster, a new immigration form came into use on 1 June 2019.
From this date:

1. The visa request for entering to Cambodia will be combined with the immigration card.
2. A foreigner who requests a visa at any immigration border in Cambodia no longer needs to attach a photo.
3. Foreigners arriving in Cambodia must complete the arrival form only, there will be no departure form.
4. All Cambodians who hold a Cambodian passport, no need to fill out the immigration form.

So no longer a form for VOA? and separate arrival form ( that means only 1 building for overland entries)
all combined, will save a few trees in Cambodia
They just lost an easy $1-2 with no photos needed> bet some immigration are not to happy about that??

Yeah they had these at the Hat Yien border on the 2nd June (2019) . was one of the first doing a check in/check out.
After the desk clerk officer tried the whole, "it's 45 for a visa" bollocks, that took another 20 minutes. I eventually got my form and checked back in.

The border guards had no idea what they were, and spent like 25 minutes on their phones to superiors. Who promptly came, out of uniform, and then spent another 20 minutes talking to their superiors. And finally we all established that it is an entry card only, and there is no departure card attached. Best hour I've ever wasted, watching them scramble about.

Yea they introduced them on the 1st June, but the airlines were still handing out the old forms, and the old forms were still available in the arrivals hall prior to the immigration hall...it was an absolute clusterfuck because people were going to the VOA desk and immigration booths but then been given the new forms and told to go away, fill them in and then return

:facepalm: :ROFL:

It's about time they streamlined some of the needless forms and redundant photos.
