Cambodia - Reduced Quarantine on Arrival

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. 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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Still waiting to see an official written announcement/directive though.

Will be interesting to see what happens if the PCR test turns out positive..... Compulsory quarantine? Koch Pich?

Here in the boonies covid has exploded. Authorities couldn't care less. Symptomatic people go around their daily routines spreading whatever there's to be spread after testing positive because missing out on a day's pay ain't easy.

Interesting times.

QUARANTINE FREE ENTRY
Official Announcement released by MoH

With effect 15th November 2021, fully vaccinated travellers can enter Cambodia without requiring to undergo quarantine on arrival.

1. Passengers who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and arrive in Cambodia by air, sea or land must have the following:

– COVID-19 Vaccination Card/Certificate
– Pre-flight COVID-19 PCR test no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Cambodia.

Upon arrival in Cambodia, passengers will have a Rapid Antigen Test, and wait appx 15-20 minutes for the test results. If negative, the person is able to travel freely throughout Cambodia, regardless of region or province, and is not required to be quarantined

2. There are no changes to the entry & quarantine requirements for Travellers who are not fully vaccinated/unvaccinated.

3. Fully vaccinated travellers who are currently in quarantine will receive a Rapid Antigen test on the 15th Nov 21, and will be released from quarantine if tested negative.

No mention of the finer details for vaccinated travellers ie. Do they still require the Forte COVID-19 insurance policy? Hopefully the finer details will be clarified in an official directive.

There was a difference vaccinated elites no quarantine or 1 day, vaccinated non elites 7 days quarantine, good this has been rectified now everyone treated to the same. Just a bit late for some but great news all the same.

"fully vaccinated visitors to Cambodia travelling by air, waterway or road must bring...."

Can we take it from that ^^ that the land borders will be opened immediately (or soon) for foreign nationals?
