All foreigners who are stranded in Cambodia with no flights to return home who have an expired tourist visa are eligible to take the COVID-19 vaccination. Government spokesman Phay Siphan told Khmer Times that everyone is entitled to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

“Everyone in Cambodia is entitled – no prejudice with vaccines. Have them contact the health department or Or Vandine, the secretary of the state in charge of the vaccination,” he said. In addition, immigration spokesman General Keo Vanthorn recalled the announcement published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in April, 2020.

 

The announcement said: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Cambodia presents its compliments to all Diplomatic and Consular Missions accredited to the Kingdom of Cambodia and has honour to inform the latter that due to the COVID-19 outbreak, some foreign tourists who arrived in Cambodia after January 1, 2020, have not been able to return to their countries as there is no availability of flights, the Royal Government of Cambodia has decided, effective from April 3, 2020, to grant an automatic extension of tourist visa (Visa T) to those foreign citizens and to exempt their visa overstay fines until they will be able to depart Cambodia.”
