Friendly, up-to-date guides to visas, places, food and getting around — checked against official sources, written like a friend who did the homework for you.
Five friendly paths through everything Cambodia. Pick the one that matches your trip.
Visas, the e-Arrival card, insurance, money and what to pack — sorted before you fly.
Siem Reap & Angkor, Phnom Penh, Kampot, the islands and beyond — what each place is really like.
Buses, tuk-tuks, boats and border crossings, explained step by step (including which borders are closed).
Visa extensions, the retirement (ER) visa, and real agent prices — no runaround, no surprises.
Cost of living, renting, and retiring in Cambodia — the honest version, numbers included.
Facts last verified: October 2026. We re-check our visa pages every quarter and date them — prices change, and old pages elsewhere still show the pre-2025 fees.
Cambodia doesn’t require insurance to let you in — but serious treatment here usually means a private clinic and an evacuation flight to Bangkok, and that bill lands on you in full. The cover most long-stay travelers here use is SafetyWing Nomad Insurance: from about $63 per 4 weeks, $250,000 of medical cover, and it works in 180+ countries — buy it for Cambodia, keep it for the whole region. Unusually, you can even start it after you’ve already arrived.
We're an independent guide, not a travel agency and not the government. We research Cambodia's rules, prices and places against official sources, date every page, and tell you the plain version — including when the honest answer is "pay the $30 official fee and skip the middleman." If a page ever disagrees with an official source, trust the official source — and tell us, so we can fix it.
