Cambodia Arrival Card: Requirements & How to Fill

Gambar Profil Penulis

🌏 Planning a trip to Cambodia? Whether you're dreaming of sunrise at Angkor Wat 🌅 or exploring the bustling streets of Phnom Penh 🛺, there's one essential thing to prepare before you land — your Cambodia Arrival Card.
I recently visited Siem Reap, and trust me, having everything sorted ahead of time made immigration a breeze. Here’s your complete guide to help fellow Malaysians travel smoother.👇

📄 What’s the Cambodia Arrival Card?

source from https://camboticket.com/

The Cambodia Arrival Card is a short immigration and customs declaration form required for all foreign travellers (including Malaysians 🇲🇾) entering the country. It collects basic travel, identity, and customs information.

🔍 In simple terms, it’s a paper form that:

  • Records your personal and passport details
  • Declares your travel purpose and stay info
  • Asks if you're carrying items like food, cash, or restricted goods

✅ This form is usually handed out during your flight, and submitted to immigration officers upon arrival.

🛃 Why Is It Important?

Filling out the Cambodia Arrival Card helps:

  • ✅ Ensure smooth processing at immigration
  • ✈️ Declare any goods, currency, or restricted items
  • 📉 Avoid unnecessary delays or penalties
  • 🛂 Provide contact and address details for your stay

📜 Cambodia also uses the card to register travellers for border control and biosecurity purposes.

🧾 Is the Arrival Card a Visa?

Nope.
The Cambodia Arrival Card is not a visa. It’s a separate immigration document required in addition to your visa.

🎟️ Malaysians enjoy visa-free entry to Cambodia for stays of up to 30 days for tourism.
But even if you don’t need a visa, you must still complete the arrival card at the border or airport.

👥 Who Needs to Fill In the Arrival Card?

If you’re a Malaysian passport holder flying into Cambodia, you’ll need to fill in the arrival card — whether you:

  • Are visiting for tourism or business
  • Enter via Phnom Penh (PNH), Siem Reap (REP), or Sihanoukville (KOS) airports
  • Are travelling visa-free

🧒 Children can be included on their parent or guardian’s card.

Every time I visit Phnom Penh, I stay at this hotel. The breakfast is fresh and plentiful. The pool and gym are clean. The hotel staff are enthusiastic, and the parking security guards are amiable. The foot massage parlor on the first floor of the hotel is also really nice! Plus, there are so many mango trees in the garden outside. It's also very close to the Royal Palace, less than 200 units away.

Firstly the hotel is like 20 mins ride from airport , but opposite side the bustling town. It’s just across from Mekong river. Mobility to reach hotel were hassle free. As a diamond member i was able to do early check in and had my welcome drink and cold towel at reception. We booked bassac suite and as per photo it has bathtub , however when we checked in to my surprise it’s not. I ring to FO to check about and I were instructed to pay $20/ night if want but tub. However they had discussed this with their senior management and come up with free upgrade to high ceiling 16th floor room. Not sure what it called but such a grand fabulous room with Mekong river view too. Staffs are super friendly and welcoming, English speaking, overall the price I paid for my stay was worth it. If I ever coming back Phnom Penh I choose this hotel.

Traveling with my child, I chose the best-located hotel in the city. From the room, we had a fantastic view overlooking the Royal Palace and the Mekong River, and safety was also a major plus. The front desk staff were proficient in both English and Chinese. Breakfast was delicious, even offering Chinese-style noodles. In the evenings, we enjoyed dinner at the iconic skybar on the rooftop, and the prices were very reasonable. When my son got hungry in the middle of the night, we ordered room service pasta, and it was absolutely excellent!

I stayed at Sim Boutique Hotel in Phnom Penh for 8 days, and my experience turned out to be a very positive one, despite a rough start. Initially, I was a little disappointed with the corner room I was given on the 4th floor. The noise from outside—especially from the school opposite, along with the constant street activity and voices from nearby buildings—made my first two nights quite uncomfortable. I had requested a quiet room prior to check-in, but was informed that the room category I booked was located on the lower floors. However, I truly appreciate how quickly and professionally the hotel responded to my concerns. They promptly upgraded me to a larger room on a higher floor, which was much quieter and offered a lovely city view. From that point on, my stay improved tremendously. I really enjoyed the rooftop pool—while it’s not very big, it’s perfect for a refreshing dip in Cambodia’s heat. The rooftop bar was definitely a highlight for me. The views are incredible, the music creates a great atmosphere, and the live singers were genuinely impressive. The location of the hotel is also very convenient, with easy access to many places around the city. If the weather gets too hot or you’re feeling tired, it’s simple to hop on a tuk-tuk or Grab. Overall, I’m grateful for the hotel’s attentiveness and willingness to make things right. Their service made all the difference. I would definitely recommend Sim Boutique Hotel for a comfortable stay in Phnom Penh, and I look forward to staying there again on my next visit.

The front desk service was excellent, and they even spoke Chinese. The breakfast was good, and they offered complimentary late-night snacks. The lady at the front desk who served the late-night snacks was incredibly kind. The four types of noodles offered were not only hygienic but also tastier than what you'd find outside. I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit. It's a popular choice for Chinese tourists.

I recently stayed again at Luxcity Hotel, and once again, it did not disappoint. This is actually my return visit, which already says a lot about how much I enjoy staying here. The room was impressively huge, giving me plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. Everything was spotless and very well maintained — you can really tell that cleanliness is a priority here. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was modern and clean, and the overall atmosphere felt fresh and welcoming. I also appreciated that the room had all the amenities I needed. From toiletries and a fully equipped bathroom to convenient in-room facilities, everything was thoughtfully prepared. It made my stay smooth and stress-free. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience and will definitely come back again in the future. Luxcity Hotel continues to be one of my top choices whenever I visit. Highly recommended!

Budget hotel in the center of Phnom Penh. Staff are friendly and helpful. Location is good. Surrounded by market, food vendors and mart. You can access to most locations by Tuk Tuk. There is elevator in the building. The room is a bit small, but it is okay for me to stay alone. Hotel could be improve abit in term of smell inside the room. Probably they can spray something to make it smell fresh. Every room has Woden curtains, it doesn’t fully close. So if you are sensitive to the light during sleeping, you might find it so bright. It was good if they can make the curtain fully close because I sometimes find it weird and feel like someone can see me from an outside. Overall it is good

A magnificent hotel! Everything was perfect! Superb location and wonderfully attentive service. We requested an early check-in the day before, and the esteemed Mr. Sovanvitou EA kindly replied that he would assist us if the hotel's availability allowed. The hotel is very modern, design-forward, and functional. Everything is catered for guests, and everything works and adjusts perfectly: the air conditioning, the water, and there's even a place to dry clothes. The pillows, mattress, and duvet are perfect, making for a very comfortable stay. The cleanliness is impeccable. Our flight was canceled, so we checked out and were sitting in the lobby booking new flight tickets. The hotel staff asked if we needed any help, brought us water, and said we could use the shower for free if needed, even though we hadn't asked for anything. The staff repeatedly offered their help and care, which was truly wonderful.

Our originally booked room would have been on the 9th floor, right below the pool and bar. We requested a different one. It wasn't the same category, but it was okay. The bed was a bit too soft and the pillows too thick. You can't please everyone, I guess. The bathroom was very small, but the shower had good water pressure and was hot. The breakfast area/cafe was far too small for so many guests, and it was too hot to sit outside. Breakfast was mediocre but sufficient. The location was superb. Very quiet on a side street, yet right in the heart of things. However, we had the bad luck of construction happening at the temple across the street. You should avoid that side of the hotel. The rooftop pool area is nice. The view over the city and the skyline, however, is sensational. Overall, the stay was good. We would gladly come back.

I arrived at this hotel around 12 noon. The reception staff welcomed me kindly. There were a few other people waiting in the lobby at the same time. They told us that the rooms were not ready yet and that check-in time was at 2 PM. I said okay and started waiting, but since I thought it might take a while, I decided to go for a walk. I explored the nearby streets, went into a market, did some shopping, and spent some time outside. When I returned to the hotel around a little after 1 PM, I noticed that the people who had been waiting earlier were gone—so I assume their rooms had been given. The receptionist told me that my room was also ready. Then a staff member accompanied me to my room, which was on the 5th floor. The elevator in this hotel only goes up to the 4th floor, so you have to take the stairs up one more level to reach the 5th floor. The room itself was quite spacious. The Wi-Fi worked well without any issues. However, the TV did not seem to have smart features—there was no internet connection or anything like that. It was supposed to show regular channels, but due to poor antenna reception, it barely showed anything. The channels were full of static and not watchable, so the TV was essentially unusable. The air conditioner was working, but I think the gas might have been low, because the cooling was quite weak. Still, it was enough for me. There is a safe box in the room, but it seemed to have been locked previously and could only be used with a key. I couldn’t use it with a digital code. There is also a minibar with various drinks, but I didn’t use it. I only used the fridge to store items I bought myself. I think having a fridge is quite important in hot countries like this—it’s definitely useful. Hot water was available without any problems. One of the best things about this hotel is its location—it’s within walking distance to tourist areas and central entertainment spots. Other than that, I didn’t notice any particularly special features. The building itself is quite old, and I could see that it’s somewhat worn out. Still, it’s fine for a few days’ stay. But if you are expecting something luxurious, you should probably look for another hotel. For breakfast, there is a set menu. During my three-day stay, I had the same set menu every day. It was pretty standard, nothing special. There is also a restaurant at the entrance where you can order meals, but I didn’t try it—I only had breakfast there. That’s pretty much my experience. If you ask whether I would stay here again, I’d say it’s not bad, but you might be able to find a better place for the same price if you look around. The price was around the market average—not too expensive, not cheap either. Maybe you can find something better for the same price, but I’m not sure. These are my thoughts about the hotel. Have a great holiday everyone!

Breakfast is a buffet at the neighboring hotel and it was good. The location is convenient, with cafes, massage parlors, and the Royal Palace nearby. The hotel is situated in a narrow alley, which made it seem a bit gloomy when we arrived at night. However, the hotel itself is well-maintained, even though it's not new. The room was a bit dim due to the dark furniture and limited lighting fixtures. There also weren't enough power outlets (one in the room, one far behind the bed, and one in the bathroom). The air conditioning and plumbing were in working order.
