Accomodation

We have arranged excellent special rates for your accommodation during your stay in Cambodia with the recommended hotels both in Phnom Penh and in Siem Reap. After the online registration, participants are strongly encouraged to make accommodation reservations through our system so that we would be able to assist you wherever possible and, most important of all, provide you with our special rates. Participants may also make accommodation reservations directly to the recommended hotels. However, the said rates will NOT be applied due to some domestic policies.

Passport, Visa and other travel information

All international visitors must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months, for their stay in the Kingdom of Cambodia.

To avoid any delay or waiting, participants are encouraged to take steps to obtain their visa as soon as possible, after receiving the email confirmation of accreditation, and before their departure. However, all the international participants who have received accreditation will also have the possibility to apply for an entry visa directly upon their arrival at the airport in the Kingdom of Cambodia, and upon presentation of two photographs, and 20 US dollars in cash.

The visa application will be free of charge for all the members of the Committee, Advisory Bodies, the Secretariat, and youth delegate representatives of the Youth Forum.

Participants may also obtain visas online at the following address: www.mfaic.gov.kh. However, please note that all visa requests made online will be charged for all participants, including members of the Committee, Advisory Bodies, the Secretariat, and youth delegate representatives of the Youth Forum.

The closing ceremony will take place on 27th June in Siem Reap-Angkor, 45 minutes flying time from Phnom Penh.
