The Cambodian Ministry of Tourism has unveiled a four-month visa-free programme running from 15 June to 15 October 2026 for holders of People’s Republic of China passports, explicitly including HKSAR and Macao SAR documents. Travellers may enter multiple times for stays of up to 14 days per visit, provided they complete the country’s mandatory e-Arrival Card before boarding.

For anyone who still needs help with the e-Arrival Card process or with arranging longer-stay or business visas once the 14-day limit is reached, VisaHQ’s Hong Kong platform (https://www.visahq.com/hong-kong/) delivers quick online applications, document checks and real-time status tracking—making Cambodian travel logistics easier for individual visitors and corporate mobility teams alike.
The measure is aimed at rebooting visitor numbers from Greater China, which accounted for more than a quarter of Cambodia’s 2019 tourist arrivals but has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. Siem Reap’s Angkor Archaeological Park and the coastal resort town of Sihanoukville—already serviced by direct flights from Hong Kong—are expected to benefit most. For Hong Kong business travellers and tour operators, the waiver eliminates a US$30 visa-on-arrival fee and reduces airport processing times. Companies arranging short-notice site visits, factory inspections or investor roadshows in Phnom Penh can now dispense with pre-trip consular filings, though stays beyond 14 days will still require a normal visa. The announcement also signals intensifying regional competition for Chinese outbound tourists. Thailand and Malaysia have both issued temporary or unilateral visa-free policies this year, and Vietnam is debating similar concessions. Mobility professionals should watch whether Cambodia extends the scheme past October—especially if inbound numbers spike—or introduces business-specific privileges such as fast-track lanes.
