Dear readers,

It's not Thailand, but better than nothing at all. I understand that Cambodia is now (or still) accessible. Visas could be obtained through the consulate/embassy in Brussels. With quarantine, a 'deposit' of $2000 and mandatory insurance etc.

Who has recently experienced this? What about that 'deposit' is that a deposit or have you 'just lost' it?

Of course I know Cambodia reasonably well, but it is difficult to determine whether it is a reasonable temporary alternative to Thailand.

Or is it 'better' to wait until we can/can travel to Thailand again.

Regards,

John

    Cambodia is not completely open. You must have a visa (Embassy in Brussels). But you only get that if you are a businessman invited by a company. Or you have to be posted by a company in the Netherlands. I've already tried this, it doesn't work. (State of affairs 3 weeks ago.)

    I live in Cambodia. No tourist visas are being issued at this time. Only so-called E visa, but then you have to submit a job offer, plus the other things you mentioned and test covid 19 negative. All land borders are closed anyway. Moreover, you run the risk of not being able to come back to Thailand. I would just stay there at the moment.

    I recently went back to Cambodia. There is only a possibility with a Business visa, tourist visas are not issued and no VOA on arrival.

    The $2000 is a deposit and will be returned at the end of the self-isolation period, less the costs incurred (first 2 days hotel, 2 Covid tests on day 1 and day 13 and the airport transfer to the hotel).

    If anyone is positive after the day 1 test on the same flight then immediate quarantine will follow for everyone in the hotel, this additional cost will be deducted from the $2000.

    If you test positive on day 1, the mandatory treatment will also be deducted from the $2000.

    Cheers,

    Gerard

    I went back to Cambodia two months ago on my still valid retirement visa, everything went quickly and smoothly. I also have a valid retirement visa Non Imm O for Thailand but it is not possible to enter Thailand. Had my visa in Cambodia extended again for 1 year $295.

    I think Cambodia is not open. My partner can't go to his family.

    Does Cambodia also have a list of ASQ hotels like Thailand?
