travel instructions

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

A free society is defined as backpackers complaining and the government responding to the backpacker complaints by governmental action?

This is a new definition of free society for me.
I always thought with freedom comes responsibility.

One where backpackers rule and the government obeys (the backpackers being the only important constituency) as the basis of a free society seems strange to me.

I hope things go back to normal, but also that everyone stays safe.

Good luck out there!

I have contacted a cambodian travel agent recenty to ask about a 5-day Koh Rong package and it seemed like you can also fly into PP. Seems like they have noticed, that it will be diffucult to fly into Sihanoukville. They probably will organize Cars, Buses or transit flights.

Thanks so much for this info. Can you keep us updated.? Also, please PM me the contact info for your Cambodian travel agent. I am interested in coming to Koh Rong in December if it is feasible. Many thanks in advance!

Sure, I'll let you know, if anything new comes up.

If it's possible and not too expensive I also want to visit Koh Rong in December.

Sihanoukville is the only airport you can fly into without quarantine.
You must be a member of a group/package tour.
The only international flights into SV come from China.

Currently...if you enter on an e-Visa (electronic online Tourist Visa) from evisa.gov.kh , or a T-type (Tourist) Visa (yes - they are available) issued by a Cambodian Embassy/Consulate, then you can apply for 1x 30 day Extension of Stay only, giving a total period of stay up to 2 months max.

Once land borders reopen and VOA's are available again, it will be possible for you, or your passport, to go on a Visa run to get an E-type (Ordinary) Visa which will allow you to apply for a long term Extension of Stay.

Who knows what will happen in the next month or 2, there is likely be more easing of the current restrictions, so if you want to stay long term but are unable to obtain an E-type (Ordinary/Business) Visa, then I suggest you wait to see what happens.
