1. What is the Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA)?
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA) is a modern digital border management system launched by the General Department of Immigration (GDI) of the Ministry of Interior of Cambodia.
It unifies three previously separate paper forms into a single electronic QR code: 1. Immigration Disembarkation Card 2. Health Declaration Form 3. Customs Declaration Form
