Beginning on January 1, 2024, all visitors to Cambodia will be able to use a trial "e-Arrival Card" scheme, as announced by thevisitors to Cambodia.
The e-Arrival Card will replace the plethora of paper forms that are currently required on arrival.
The announcement dated on Wednesday said the e-Arrival Card will make it easier for foreign travelers and Cambodian citizens who enter Cambodia through international airports to complete the immigration formalities and health procedures in one form.
"During the trial period from Jan. 1 to June 30, 2024, passengers have the option to fill in an electronic form or fill in an immigration, customs and health information form in a paper form," the announcement said.
All passengers will be required to fill in an electronic form when the e-Arrival Card scheme is officially launched from July 1, 2024, it added.
Along with agriculture, real estate and construction, and the export of apparel, footwear, and travel items, tourism is one of the four pillars that underpin Cambodia's economy.
The kingdom recorded 4.4 million international tourists in the first 10 months of 2023, a significant rise of around 180 percent from 1.57 million over the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Tourism.
