The short answer

Prepare tourist visa and eArrival separately and check the actual arrival airport or crossing. A port on an eVisa list is not proof it is open. Pack modest temple clothing, reliable shoes, small riel and a compatible adapter. Recheck Thailand-border route advice. Checked 24 October 2026.

Rules checked 24 Oct 2026

Currency is Cambodian riel, KHR. Independent publisher TourismCambodia.com describes both riel and USD use. No live rate or fixed daily budget.

Cash and cards

The publisher describes small transactions in riel and card facilities at visitor businesses. Do not assume every place accepts cards or every dollar note is accepted. Check bill currency and change.

ATMs and fees

Check actual bank and ATM operator charges, foreign-transaction fees and available withdrawal limits. No fee-free or universal banknote acceptance claim.

Backup plan

Our choice is small riel cash and a backup card stored separately. No universal current tipping percentage established; ask about included service and selected trip arrangement.

SIM / eSIM

Cellcard accepts a valid national ID or passport for SIM registration. Visitors should keep passport ready at an authorised outlet and check the actual product, compatibility, validity and coverage. No price promise.

Installing vs activating

Follow the selected SIM/eSIM product instructions for installation, activation and validity start. Registration evidence alone is not proof of eSIM compatibility or instant activation.

Backup connectivity

Save hotel, first-transfer, maps and organiser details offline before relying on a new activation. Check Indian roaming and bank OTP arrangements with your operator; no route-wide coverage guarantee.

Quick questions

Is visa validity the stay length?

No. Official Visa T lists three-month use validity and a one-month stay.

Does a port list prove a crossing is open?

No. FCDO currently reports Cambodia-Thailand land crossings suspended; check actual current route advice before committing.

Which power supply?

230V 50Hz, type A/C/G. Check actual socket and device input; an adapter does not change voltage.
