Before you set foot in Phnom Penh, we’ve put together a pre-checklist to ensure you’re fully prepared for your upcoming journey.

When traveling to Cambodia we do recommend purchasing a SIM card if you don’t have a roam-like home service with your cellular plan. To ensure we had reliable connectivity during our Cambodia trip we purchased a reliable SIM card.

Where to Purchase a SIM Card In the Phnom Penh:
The best place to purchase a SIM card in Phnom Penh is to visit a Cellcard phone store in the city. We found it super easy to top-up our phones using a credit card and by downloading the mobile app, it works like a pre-paid card.

Travel Requirements for Cambodia:

You can obtain a 30-day tourist visa for $30 USD upon arrival or apply for an e-visa in advance. You can extend it for two more 30-day periods for an extra fee. Proof of vaccination or test results are not required for entry.

We always recommend seeking advice for vaccinations for Cambodia on the CDC website, and/or visiting a travel medical clinic before traveling to a destination.

Disclaimer: The information shared regarding travel vaccines is based on our experiences and research and should not replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional. For personalized vaccine information and guidance, please consult with a medical expert such as a travel clinic.

Outlet plugs, and adapters to get: The power plugs in Cambodia typically use Type A, Type C, or Type G sockets, with a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. It’s advisable to carry a universal adapter to ensure compatibility with these outlets.

Before traveling, it’s crucial to have travel & medical insurance coverage whenever you’re traveling abroad to another country. We always recommend checking your credit card’s insurance policies to understand the coverage and duration of your insurance. Most travel credit cards have coverage between 14-30 days on the high-end. Therefore, depending on the coverage type and duration of your trip, purchasing travel insurance that supplements these policies, is recommended to provide you with peace of mind and financial security, to ensure your trip is worry-free.
