Cambodia
Visa Requirements for EU Citizens
EU citizens can obtain a visa on arrival in Cambodia for up to 30 days or apply for an eVisa online. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay. You’ll need a passport-sized photo and USD cash for the visa fee.
Transport
Getting around Singapore is straightforward with these main options:
- The main modes of transport are buses, tuk-tuks, and boats, and 12GoAsia is great for booking buses and some boat transfers.
- Buses are the most popular choice for getting between cities like Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville (for Koh Rong). Tuk-tuks are common for short distances within cities. For reaching Koh Rong, take a ferry from Sihanoukville, and local tuk-tuks or taxis will get you around.
