I never heard about this before but found it in internet today on reputable site so assume it is accurate. Sounds like another bureaucratic attempt of tourist traffic control. Why it can't be integrated with e-visa , at least for those who apply for visa electronically, not in embassies or at the border ?

I also noticed that  airfares from Bangkok to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap went up considerably in comparison to last year.

"Beginning July 1, tourists entering Cambodia will need to present a digital entry card in addition to their passport and visa.

The document, called Cambodia e-Arrival (CeA), requires holidaymakers to upload a photo of themselves and provide information about the duration of their trip and their place of stay in the country.

Once completed, a QR code will be generated, which must be shown on a smartphone or in printed form.

The online edition of the Khmer Times reports that devices for filling out the form are available on arrival for those who are unable to complete it in advance.

However, tourists are advised to visit the website arrival.gov.kh to fill out the form directly in the browser or download an app and complete it that way. The registration should be done within seven days before entry.

While the QR code in the app remains accessible offline, it is recommended to take a screenshot of it if the form was filled out in the browser, advises the immigration authority.

Alternatively, one can print the page with the QR code. The new digital entry card is free of charge.

All travellers will still need a passport valid for at least six months and a visa, which can be applied for in advance or obtained on arrival for tourists and business travellers.

 

Cambodia is renowned for Angkor Wat, a majestic Hindu-Buddhist temple complex in the country's north.

Considered one of South-East Asia's most important archaeological sites, the Angkor complex, which includes Angkor Wat, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992. It remains a top travel destination, featured on many travellers' bucket lists."

More complications!

Thanks for this Vinapu. I look forward to this joy in December!

in meantime I did bit more looking and yes , confirmed that with official government site.

It may be silver lining in that  , at first look nonsensical idea - if that is in preparation to Schengen type arrangements with neighbouring countries while wishing to preserve income visas generate. Say visa will be abolished altogether  but new Digital Entry card will cost 30 $ as visa is now. As they say where I was born ,"wolf will be fed but lamb still intact".

It just my dream
