Visa on Arrival: $30 USD. E-Visa: $36 USD (includes processing fee). Extension: $45 for 30 days.
Wat zijn de belangrijkste visumtips?
- Bring a passport photo for VOA — or pay an extra $2–5 for them to process without one.
- USD is widely accepted everywhere — many prices are quoted in USD. Carry small bills.
- E-Visa is only valid at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports and some land borders — not all entry points.
- Visa can be extended once for 30 days at immigration offices in Phnom Penh.
Visumvereisten variëren per nationaliteit en veranderen vaak. Controleer bij de ambassade van je land of de officiële immigratieautoriteit van de bestemming voor je vertrekt.

Hoe veilig is het?
3/5
Generally safe for tourists in main areas (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville). Petty crime (bag snatching, pickpocketing) occurs in cities. Road safety is poor — traffic rules are loosely followed. Landmines remain in some rural border areas.
Waarvoor moet ik oppassen qua oplichting?
- Tuk-tuk drivers taking you to commission-based shops or 'free' tours that end at silk factories.
- 'Happy' food and drinks (containing marijuana or other drugs) served at some restaurants — effects can be unpredictable and dangerous.
- Children selling souvenirs or begging — buying encourages exploitation. Support NGOs instead.
- Fake orphanage tourism — many 'orphanages' are scams exploiting children. Never visit orphanages as a tourist.
Welke gezondheidsmaatregelen zijn verstandig?
- Drink only bottled water. Street food is generally okay from busy stalls.
- Mosquito protection essential — dengue and malaria present in rural areas.
- Limited healthcare outside Phnom Penh — serious medical issues may require evacuation to Bangkok.
Welke vaccinaties zijn verplicht?
- Hepatitis A and Typhoid strongly recommended.
- Hepatitis B, Rabies, and Japanese Encephalitis recommended.
- Malaria prophylaxis for rural and border areas.
- Routine vaccines up to date.
Is kraanwater veilig om te drinken?
Never drink tap water. Bottled water is very cheap. Avoid ice from unknown sources. Filtered or boiled water at guesthouses is usually safe.
Zijn er actieve reisadviezen?
Do NOT stray from marked paths in rural areas — landmines and unexploded ordnance remain from decades of conflict. Road safety is poor — avoid driving at night. Drug laws are strict — avoid all illegal substances. Sihanoukville has seen increased crime related to Chinese casino development.
Veiligheidsinformatie is gebaseerd op openbaar beschikbare reisadviezen. Raadpleeg de reisadviesservice van je regering voor de laatste richtlijnen.

Wat moet ik weten over de cultuur?
Wat moet ik doen?
- Visit Angkor Wat at sunrise — it's one of the most incredible experiences on earth.
- Learn about Cambodia's history — the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Killing Fields are important but harrowing.
- Try amok (coconut curry steamed in banana leaf), lok lak, and fresh Kampot pepper.
Wat moet ik vermijden?
- Don't touch anyone's head — it's the highest and most sacred part of the body.
- Don't point your feet at people or Buddha images.
- Don't discuss the Khmer Rouge casually — it's deeply traumatic and many families were directly affected.
- Don't visit orphanages — orphanage tourism harms children. Support legitimate NGOs instead.
Hoe werkt fooi geven?
Tip $1–2 USD at restaurants. $5–10 per day for tuk-tuk drivers and tour guides. Tips make a real difference in Cambodia — average monthly salary is modest.
Wat is de kledingvoorschrift?
Modest clothing. Cover shoulders and knees at Angkor Wat and all temples. Lightweight, breathable fabrics. A krama (traditional Cambodian scarf) is useful for sun protection and temple visits.
Wat is de religieuze context?
Theravada Buddhist majority. Monks are deeply respected — never touch a monk (especially women should not), don't sit higher than monks, and offer food with respect. Remove shoes at all temples. Walk clockwise around religious structures.
