Question 1

Do Russians need a visa for Cambodia in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Get an electronic e-Visa on the official government website a few days before your trip, or get a visa on arrival; both are tourist, valid for 30 days, single entry, and cost about 30 USD (the e-Visa adds a small service fee). The visa can be extended once for 30 days once you are there. You will need a passport valid for at least 6 months, a photo, proof of funds and an accommodation booking. A printout of the visa is asked for at passport control. Check the current rules before you fly.

Question 2

How many days do I need for Angkor Wat?

Accepted Answer

It is comfortable to allow 2–3 days for the main temples of Angkor. In one day you can actually see Angkor Wat, the Bayon and Ta Prohm, but in a rush. The 3-day ticket is better value than a single-day one and is valid for a week.

Question 3

When is the best time to go to Cambodia?

Accepted Answer

The best time is November to March: it is dry, not too hot, and convenient for visiting temples. From April the heat intensifies, and from May to October the rains come. In the rainy season there are fewer tourists and prices are lower.

Question 4

How much does a 6-day trip cost?

Accepted Answer

On a budget, from 40,000–55,000 ₽ per person excluding flights, with mid-range hotels and local food. A comfort option with good hotels and a guide at Angkor starts from 80,000 ₽. The main expenses are accommodation, entrance tickets and transport between cities.

Question 5

How can Russians pay in Cambodia?

Accepted Answer

Cambodia is a “dollar” country: US dollars are accepted everywhere, and change is given in small amounts in riel. Russian Visa and Mastercard cards do not work, so the main method is cash in dollars. ATMs and UnionPay card acceptance exist in cities, but the fees are high. Bring enough cash, especially for trips outside Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

Question 6

What is the internet situation in Cambodia?

Accepted Answer

Mobile internet is affordable: activate an eSIM online before departure or buy a local SIM (Cellcard, Smart) at the airport. In cities and at the Angkor temples the connection is stable, and a VPN is not required.

Question 7

How do I get from Russia to Cambodia in 2026?

Accepted Answer

There is no direct air service. Look for tickets with a connection via Chinese cities, Bangkok or other Southeast Asian hubs, from about 42,000 ₽. A common route is to fly to Bangkok and then take a flight or bus to Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. You can compare tickets in the “Flights” section.

Question 8

Is Cambodia safe for tourists?

Accepted Answer

For ordinary tourism Cambodia is safe, but petty theft and bag snatching from motorbikes occur in Phnom Penh, so keep valuables close. Important: in remote areas and away from the beaten path the risk of unexploded ordnance remains, so in nature do not leave the well-trodden paths.

Question 9

Do I need vaccinations for Cambodia?

Accepted Answer

There are no mandatory vaccinations for entry. Hepatitis A and typhoid are recommended; for rural areas, discuss Japanese encephalitis and rabies with a doctor, and in some regions there is a malaria risk. Protection from mosquitoes (dengue) is a must. This is general information; a doctor will give specific recommendations.
