🌏 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.

Check in was easy, given welcome drinks, cold towels and told to take a seat whilst they process our booking. The rooms has nice Khmer decor and we are satisfied with the clean and comfortable rooms. The staff are friendly, helpful and very polite, always greeting you with a smile.
The breakfast was ample and some items changed daily. We enjoyed the Khmer dishes in the hotel restaurant Melea that we dined there every day of our stay. We were served by Mr Kim Ang who we found to be very attentive and friendly.DariKWD 29

Exceptional Stay at Okay Boutique Hotel!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Okay Boutique Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone was incredibly friendly, polite, and always ready to assist with anything I needed.
The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated with traditional Cambodian touches that added so much charm to the stay. The bed was very comfortable, and the amenities provided were thoughtful and well-maintained.
One of the highlights was the rooftop pool – stunning views of the city, especially at sunset! It was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Phnom Penh. The location of the hotel is also ideal — close to the Royal Palace, National Museum, and plenty of restaurants and cafes.
Breakfast each morning was delicious, with a good variety of local and international options. Everything was fresh and well-prepared.
I truly felt at home during my stay, and I’m grateful for the hospitality and warmth shown by the entire team. I highly recommend Okay Boutique Hotel to anyone visiting Phnom Penh — it’s the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and genuine service.
I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!DariKWD 9

Roof top
The major attraction of this hotel is the roof top Sky bar / pool / terrace / restaurant
The view on the central avenue with the famous sightseeing- The Monument of Independence- is incredible as well as the 360 degrees skyline of PhnomPenh.
The room was really spacious, but what amused me mostly was the bathtub in the bedroom, by the panoramic windows, in front of the bed. That’s quite naughty, but why not.
Breakfast was served on the roof terrace, which is fantastic addition to the meal, coz u may enjoy the sunrise right at the same time.
Location is good too, average distance to main spots is no more than 2 km. Tuk tuk service is no more than a 1 minute away.
One more important advantage is the express supermarket downstairs, good choice and even lots of options for those who wish to try local specialtiesDariKWD 14

The place was good. The location was also good. Walking distance to Aeon Mall. The rooms are not so big but they are clean.
The cleaners only cleaned the main bedroom and living room. They didn’t even empty the kitchen trash. You have to ask for more room supplies like tissues after they have cleaned.
Not sure if l can recommend others to stay there as they are not so honest about people’s belongings.DariKWD 8
