In fighting with COVID-19 and tourism, Cambodia is imposing strict
financial requirements for all foreign visitors entry to the Kingdom. The Ministry of Health
has issued various charge fees such as COVID-19 test, quarantine, treatment
services including transportation, meals and lodging fees that each foreign
visitor must pay as a deposit upon arrival at the port of entry in order to
enter Cambodia. 
This is by far one of the craziest entry requirements that I have ever seen
since the pandemic of the Coronavirus. The said entry requirement takes effect
since June 11, 2020 and has no end date yet at this point.

Conclusion

As you see, these charge fees amidst the COVID-19 for foreign nationals
arriving in Cambodia is insane. Cambodia has expressed interest in having
direct flight between United States and Cambodia
in order to boost the country’s economy and tourism, but these strict
financial fees requirement during the outbreak of the COVID-19 traveling will
discourage foreign travelers to go and visit the Kingdom. If you have travel
plans to Cambodia, I’d suggest that you pause your trip for awhile until you
know when this regulation is lifted or when it is safe to travel again.
