Travel alert! Cambodia cuts down quarantine time for fully vaccinated travellers from today

The Cambodian Government has decided to reduce the quarantine period for those who are fully vaccinated travelling to the country from today onward. This was recently announced by the Ministry of Health in a statement.

As per the statement, technical experts, foreign investors, cooperation project managers, diplomats, as well as Cambodian officials returning from overseas missions will now be required to undergo a three-day quarantine only. However, general inbound passengers, both foreigners and Cambodians, will be required to undergo quarantine for seven days.
Reports have it that those who are not fully vaccinated or have not received a jab yet, they will be required to undergo full 14-day quarantine. The statement further stated that the foreign travellers will still be required to provide a medical certificate for a negative COVID-19 test that they have undergone 72 hours prior to their arrival in Cambodia, and they must carry a certificate indicating their full vaccination status and vaccination date or carry a vaccination card.
Also, travellers will have to show proof of accommodation during the quarantine period, and need to hold a COVID-19 insurance policy that has been issued by Forte Insurance (Cambodia) Plc, which is the insurance consortium, the statement added. The statement further stated that visas on arrival are not being offered at this moment, and that all visas must be requested at Cambodian embassies abroad.
This move comes after the kingdom managed to administer at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to 84.9 per cent of its 16 million population, according to the MoH. Of them, 78.3 per cent have been fully inoculated with two shots, while 8.5 per cent have even received a third or booster, added the MoH.
