Cambodia Warns Travelers of Fake Immigration Website

Genuine and official site

 

Cambodia’s immigration authorities have issued a warning about a fraudulent website impersonating the country’s official e-arrival platform, urging travelers to exercise caution to avoid scams and identity theft.

 

In a statement released on April 9, the Ministry of Interior’s General Department of Immigration (GDI) identified cambodia-e-arrival.com as a non-official site unaffiliated with the Cambodian government. The only legitimate platform for electronic arrival forms, they emphasized, is www.arrival.gov.kh, identifiable by its “gov.kh” domain.

 

Travelers can also use the “Cambodia e-Arrival” app, which is part of the government’s push to modernize and simplify the entry process.

“Please verify carefully to avoid using fraudulent websites that may lead to financial losses or the illegal theft of personal information,” the GDI stated, warning that no service fees are required to submit arrival information through official channels—apart from standard visa charges.

 

Authorities said legal action will be taken against anyone found operating fake immigration sites or apps for personal profit.

 

Launched in September 2024, Cambodia’s e-arrival system is designed to streamline the immigration process at airports and other entry points, enabling tourists to apply for visas upon arrival and cutting down on paperwork.

 

As tourism continues to rebound, the GDI urged visitors to remain vigilant when accessing online services related to travel to Cambodia.
