Maximum Alerts / Cambodia
Level published by the State Department on 14.09.2026 · read 16 October 2026 · source checked daily
Cambodia — official level as of 16 October 2026: Level 2/4 ("Exercise Increased Caution"), from the U.S. Department of State. Maximum Insurance covers this country: hospital settled directly, unlimited repatriation, EUR 1.5M, certificate on payment.
Every country has its own scale, so we ask them all the same question: is the whole country advised against?
An advisory covering only areas of the country does not raise the answer: it stays “No”, and the area is shown in the relevant column.
The level shown on this page — and across this site — is the one published by the U.S. State Department, from 1 (normal precautions) to 4 (do not travel). France and the United Kingdom publish their own advisories, with their own rules: they add to that level, they do not replace it.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
What I say on the phone
What to do, in this order
In immediate danger, call local emergency services first. Then contact assistance without delay; before engaging a service, seek approval under your policy. Cover is confirmed by the insurer.
Ask assistance where to get care and whether direct cover can be arranged. It confirms the facility and seeks the insurer's approval under your policy. In immediate danger, call local emergency services first.
Even for a pain you meant to shrug off. Without a medical certificate written on the spot, the same day, the insurer cannot cover the event — a certificate written after you return does not count.
The hospital desk sends the request to assistance. Direct payment depends on the insurer's approval and the policy; the call alone does not guarantee it. Have the response confirmed before relying on no up-front payment.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services immediately. For an arranged transfer or repatriation, contact assistance: the insurer's medical team decides on measures under the policy. A medical flight booked without approval may not be reimbursed.
Even if everything went well on the ground. Send your invoices and the medical report within 30 days; after that, compensation may be reduced or refused.
Places read from OpenStreetMap, within a circle of about 12 km: phone, email, address, website and hours when the source publishes them. No customer reviews, that source has none. Straight-line distances.
Notices vary by bank and vintage — yours prevails. On the right: the Maximum contract (public documents).
No whole region is advised against, but Global Affairs Canada, Foreign Office and France Diplomatie advise against specific areas (border zone, locality, route…): the map does not draw them, their text is quoted below.

Dernière actualisation le 20/04/2026, information toujours valable à la date du jour
Il est recommandé, à Phnom Penh comme dans les principaux centres urbains, notamment à Siem Reap et Sihanoukville/Kompong Som, de faire preuve de prudence lors des déplacements de nuit, particulièrement à pied, en cyclo-pousse, en tuk-tuk ou en moto-taxi.
Les déplacements restent dangereux et formellement déconseillés dans une zone allant jusqu’à 30 km de la frontière (zone rouge).
Un cessez-le-feu est intervenu entre le Cambodge et la Thaïlande le 27 décembre 2025.
La situation dans les zones frontalières demeure cependant fragile.
En conséquence, les déplacements restent dangereux et formellement déconseillés dans une zone allant jusqu’à 30 km de la frontière (zone rouge).
Toute visite touristique est à proscrire dans ces régions.
Il est recommandé de suivre très régulièrement les informations et les consignes des autorités locales.
La circulation au Cambodge ne respecte pas les codes et habitudes européennes et les accidents de deux-roues sont très fréquents. Il est rappelé que le port du casque est obligatoire et qu’être titulaire d’une assurance est indispensable pour couvrir les frais liés à une hospitalisation et à un rapatriement ainsi qu’aux blessures causées à des tiers (accident responsable) et aux dégâts matériels.
En cas d’accident, rester sur place et appeler la police, ainsi que les secours en cas de blessés. Garder son calme et éviter le conflit direct avec l’autre partie engagée (les caméras de surveillance sont nombreuses en milieu urbain et elles pourront aider à déterminer les causes et les responsabilités). Donner sa version des faits à la police.
Une grande méfiance doit être apportée aux propositions alléchantes d’emploi dans le domaine de la « gestion dématérialisée de dossiers » ou de « démarchage par internet ». Ces emplois aboutissent en effet régulièrement à des situations de privation de la liberté : les employés sont privés de leur passeport au motif que des formalités de droit de séjour (délivrance des permis et visa de travail) doivent être accomplies par l’employeur, et l’objet du travail réel relève de l’escroquerie en ligne. Le logement est souvent fourni mais l’employé ne peut en sortir et se trouve de fait séquestré. Des cas d’enlèvement à ces fins de ressortissants de tierces nationalités sont régulièrement rapportés.
Des agressions, vols à l’arraché et arnaques aux touristes sont régulièrement signalés dans la capitale et dans les principales villes de province. La plupart des vols à l’arraché concernent les sacs à main et besaces en bandoulière, les téléphones portables et les petits bagages. Il est donc fortement déconseillé de laisser apparents des sacs, que ce soit lors des déplacements à pied, en deux-roues ou en tuk-tuk. Ces vols peuvent s’accompagner d’agressions physiques ou provoquer des chutes susceptibles d’occasionner des blessures graves.
Des agressions sexuelles sont en outre déplorées chaque année. L’attention des femmes voyageant seules est appelée, en particulier la nuit et dans certains quartiers (rues des bars à Phnom Penh mais également dans les villes de provinces). La nuit tombée, il convient d’éviter de se retrouver seul dans les zones peu fréquentées, d’éviter tout contact avec des inconnus et de privilégier les déplacements en voiture plutôt qu’en tuk-tuk.
La plus grande attention est aussi recommandée dans les bars, ou lors de rencontres au moyen d’applications dédiées ou de réseaux sociaux et qui peuvent éventuellement se dérouler à domicile. Ces rencontres sont régulièrement l’occasion d’administrer de la drogue aux victimes (soumission chimique) qui sont ensuite détroussées de leurs biens de valeur et de leurs avoirs en banque. Il convient de sécuriser ses applications bancaires mobiles (désactiver la reconnaissance faciale ou digitale par exemple).
Des orages violents et des inondations importantes, y compris des crues soudaines, peuvent survenir, durant la saison des pluies de juin à novembre. Ces inondations peuvent perturber les déplacements dans certaines provinces. Durant cette période, il est recommandé de s’informer auprès des voyagistes et des autorités locales avant tout déplacement dans des régions affectées et d’éviter tout déplacement aux abords des cours d’eau en crue. Le site de la Commission du Mékong fournit des informations sur le niveau de crue du Mékong aussi disponibles sur le site du GDACS dédié aux catastrophes naturelles.

Faithful summary of the official texts below, which prevail.
FDFA update note — Le chapitre Derniers développements a été enlevé. Le chapitre Risques régionaux spécifiques a été actualisé. Toujours valable: Il est déconseillé de se rendre dans la région frontalière avec la Thaïlande. (published 08.06.2026)
La situation sécuritaire peut évoluer très rapidement. A plusieurs reprises, des tensions sociales et politiques ont mené à des manifestations, des grèves et des barrages routiers qui étaient accompagnés d’affrontements violents. Dans ce pays comme ailleurs, le risque d’attentats terroristes ne peut être exclu. La rubrique terrorisme et enlèvements attire l'attention sur les risques liés au terrorisme. Terrorisme et enlèvements Observez les informations des autorités cambodgiennes: National Counter-Terrorism Comitee (informations en khmer) Avant et pendant le voyage, informez-vous au travers des médias sur la situation actuelle. Tenez-vous à l'écart des manifestations, des réunions politiques et, d'une manière générale, de tout rassemblement de foule. Conformez-vous aux directives des autorités locales.
La description des zones à risques repose sur des données approximatives; les risques ne peuvent se restreindre à des zones délimitées. Le Cambodge était l’un des pays le plus miné au monde. Ces dernières années, de nombreuses mines ont été enlevées et la majorité des provinces sont désormais considérées comme exemptes de mines. Il reste cependant de nombreuses mines terrestres, notamment dans les provinces limitrophes de la Thaïlande. La province de Siem Reap n’est pas complètement déminée non plus. Les personnes qui visitent à titre individuel les temples d'Angkor Wat ne devraient pas s'écarter des parcours proposés. Des bombes non explosées datant de la guerre du Vietnam se trouvent encore dans la région frontalière orientale. Limitez-vous de ce fait aux zones touristiques traditionnelles et empruntez exclusivement des routes très fréquentées. Région frontalière avec la Thaïlande: Il est déconseillé de se rendre dans la région frontalière avec la Thaïlande. Les points de passage frontaliers entre le Cambodge et la Thaïlande sont fermés pour les touristes. Dans les régions situées autour des temples de Preah Vihear (dans la province cambodgienne du même nom), Ta Khwai (Ta Krabey) et Ta Muen Thom (dans la province thaïlandaise de Surin), des affrontements militaires sporadiques et imprévisibles ont éclaté entre le Cambodge et la Thaïlande à partir de la fin juillet 2025, faisant des victimes et des blessés. Malgré un cessez-le-feu convenu, la situation sécuritaire reste instable. Les régions situées autour des temples de Preah Vihear, de Ta Khwai et de Ta Muen Thom du côté thaïlandais sont des zones militaires interdites, non accessible aux visiteurs.
La criminalité violente contre les personnes de nationalité étrangère est rare; celles-ci sont toutefois fréquemment victimes de vols, en particulier à Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville, Siem Reap et dans d'autres régions touristiques. Les vols à main armée ainsi que les délits sexuels et autres actes de violence arrivent sporadiquement. Il est notamment recommandé d'observer les mesures de précaution suivantes:
Soyez prudent lors d’invitations de personnes inconnues. Il arrive que des criminels organisent des rencontres sous prétexte d’une relation amicale ou d’affaires. Les personnes invitées peuvent alors être menacées ou enlevées sur le lieu de rendez-vous afin d’obtenir de l’argent par extorsion. Souvent aussi, une offre d’emploi peut dissimuler des intentions criminelles, et les personnes qui y répondent peuvent se voir contraintes de collaborer à des escroqueries.
Pendant la saison des pluies , des inondations sont possibles, surtout à proximité des fleuves et des lacs comme le Mékong et le Tonle Sap. Le cas échéant, il faut s'attendre à des dégâts aux infrastructures. Le trafic touristique peut également s’en trouver perturbé. Mékong River Commission Les tsunamis provoqués par des éruptions volcaniques ou des tremblements de terre dans la région du Pacifique peuvent également atteindre le Cambodge. International Tsunami Information Center Restez en relation avec votre agent de voyage, consultez les prévisions météorologiques et suivez les avertissements et les instructions des autorités locales. World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Si une catastrophe naturelle devait se produire durant votre séjour, prenez immédiatement contact avec vos proches et suivez les instructions des autorités.

Your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
FCDO advises against all but essential travel to within 20km from the land border with Thailand.
Heavy fighting along parts of the Thailand and Cambodia border, including the use of airstrikes, rocket and artillery fire, took place in 2025. A ceasefire was signed on 27 December, but the situation remains tense.
Land borders and crossings between Cambodia and Thailand continue to be suspended. Some tourist destinations in border areas such as the Preah Vihear/Khao Phra Wihan temple, the Ta Krabey/Ta Kwai temple and the Tamone Thom/Ta Muen Thom temple are closed.
There are also unexploded ordnance, including landmines, in the border area.
Find out more about why FCDO advises against travel .
Escalation in the Middle East has caused widespread travel disruption, including airspace closures, delayed and cancelled flights.
Your travel plans may be affected, even if your destination is not in the Middle East. Before you travel:
Safety — Foreign OfficeForeign Office ↗updated 19.03.2026 · read 16.10.2026
There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out how to reduce your risk from terrorism while abroad .
Although there’s no recent history of terrorism in Cambodia, attacks cannot be ruled out.
Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by expatriates and foreign travellers. Stay aware of your surroundings, keep up to date with local media and follow the advice of local authorities.
Be alert to the local security situation in border regions and at land crossings between countries. Get local advice before you set off. At the more remote crossing points, conditions can be basic. Local officials and tour operators can ask for unofficial fees or inflate visa prices at land borders. Make sure you know the correct visa requirements and fees before you travel.
Avoid all protests, demonstrations and student and political rallies as they can become violent without warning.
Cambodia remains heavily affected by landmines and unexploded weapons. Mined areas are often unmarked. Do not:
A bomb was left near a casino in Phnom Penh in December 2022 and there was a shooting in the same month. Both were likely linked to organised crime, and tourists were not targeted.
Most incidents of theft are bag snatchings, often by thieves riding past on motorbikes. Thieves will cut bag straps and snatch bags or phones from tourists on foot or in tuk-tuks and on motorbikes, often causing injury. There have been incidents on bus journeys where passengers have had items taken from bags while asleep.
Hotspots for petty crime include:
To reduce your risk from street crime:
Female travellers, including British nationals, have been sexually assaulted in Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. This includes incidents of lone women being sexually assaulted by men claiming to be motorbike taxi drivers in the Pub Street area of Siem Reap. Be wary of approaches from strangers and offers of transport.
Parties, including organised dance parties on Cambodia’s islands, may place you at risk of:
Islands are often isolated and access to medical or emergency assistance is limited or non-existent.
Cambodians are friendly, but you should be wary if a Cambodian or other foreign national befriends you quickly and invites you to their home or hotel to meet their family.

Global Affairs Canada — written for Canadian travellers, valid for all
You must abide by local laws. Learn about what you should do and how we can help if you are arrested or detained abroad.
There are severe penalties for the possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs. If you are convicted, you can expect lengthy jail sentences and steep fines. Drugs, alcohol and travel
Cambodian authorities can expel, deport or limit a traveller's visit if you are accused, or suspected of:
Detention during the investigative period is common and can exceed 6 months before charges are laid.
Immigration regulations are strict. You could face fines, detention and deportation if you overstay your visa. There is a daily fine for overstaying the validity of your visa. There is no limit to this fine. If you overstay more than 30 days, you will need to leave Cambodia in addition to paying the fine.
There are harsh penalties for sexual exploitation of minors. It is a serious offence in Cambodia. Canadians may also be subject to criminal proceedings in Canada for acts of this nature committed while abroad. Child Sex Tourism: It’s a Crime
All forms of commercial surrogacy are illegal in Cambodia. Penalties for surrogates, as well as operators of clinics and hospitals providing surrogacy services, may include imprisonment and/or fines. If you have already entered into a surrogacy agreement, you should seek advice from a local lawyer on how these guidelines, including its exit requirements, apply to your situation.
A permit is required to purchase, export or possess cultural or archaeological artefacts. To avoid any difficulties, make sure you obtain and carry the required legal paperwork to purchase or export antiquities.
Cambodian law doesn't prohibit sexual acts between individuals of the same sex. Travel and your sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics
The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty. It can help parents with the return of children who have been removed to or retained in certain countries in violation of custody rights. It does not apply between Canada and Cambodia. If your child was wrongfully taken to, or is being held in Cambodia by an abducting parent:
If your child was removed from a country other than Canada, consult a lawyer to determine if The Hague Convention applies. Be aware that Canadian consular officials cannot interfere in private legal matters or in another country's judicial affairs.
You must have and carry a Cambodian driver's licence. Helmets are mandatory for motorcycle riders, but many helmets do not meet international safety standards. Ensure your medical insurance will cover you when riding as a driver or passenger.
There are reports of local authorities cracking down on events such as pub crawls, raves, booze cruises and pool parties, as well as other events where recreational drugs may be present. Avoid these types of events. Behaviour that is deemed scandalous, drunken or disorderly is considered highly disrespectful to the local culture and population, especially near the Angkor temples. To avoid offending local sensitivities:
The currency is the riel (KHR). U.S. dollars are also widely used. Only newer, undamaged notes are accepted. Notes with the slightest tear will not be accepted. Credit cards are not widely accepted outside major cities. Some banks in Phnom Penh accept certain credit cards for cash advances. There are many ATMs in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville but fewer in smaller cities.

Foreign Office — laws and cultural differences
It may be useful to carry a copy of the photo page of your passport, but this is not a legal requirement in Cambodia.
The legal process in Cambodia is unpredictable, lacks transparency and is open to interference from political and business interests. The investigation and trial process falls far below the standard of the UK. Pre-trial detention can also last many months. The British Embassy will not interfere in the legal processes of a host country. The conditions in Cambodian prisons are extremely poor and overcrowded. Medical facilities in prisons are also very poor. The UK has no prisoner transfer agreement with Cambodia so if you’re found guilty you can expect to serve your full prison term in Cambodia.
Possession, trafficking and manufacture of any illegal drugs are serious offences in Cambodia. This includes cannabis. British nationals have been caught carrying cannabis while transiting through Cambodia. Airports in Cambodia have excellent technology and security for detecting illegal items. This is also used to scan the baggage of transiting passengers. The Cambodia authorities have a zero-tolerance policy to drug offences. Possessing drugs, even in very small quantities, can carry severe penalties, including:
Legal processes before court hearings can be long and expensive. It can take many months for a case to come to trial. Criminal gangs in the UK and elsewhere have been known to coerce people into carrying drugs across borders. Do not allow yourself to be persuaded. It is important to be aware of your rights if you are detained by the police. See our guidance for those detained or imprisoned in Cambodia. Police often raid venues known to be frequented by foreigners. You may have to take a urine or blood test if there is a suspicion you have used drugs. You will be arrested if the test is positive.
The Cambodian authorities have issued an official code of conduct for visitors at Angkor Wat and other religious sites.
You may be refused admission to religious sites, including Angkor Wat, if you wear skirts or shorts above the knee. Cover bare shoulders.
Never take photographs on or near military bases. Ask permission before taking pictures of people, especially monks and other religious figures.
Request permission in advance from the district head, provincial governor or national tourism board for any travel that authorities might see as out of the ordinary, including:
Same-sex sexual activity is legal in Cambodia. The LGBT+ community is becoming more visible, through gay clubs, club nights and the work of some human rights organisations. Read more advice for LGBT+ travellers.
The UK government has suspended all adoptions of Cambodian children by UK residents.
Commercial surrogacy is banned in Cambodia. If you pay a surrogate, you could get a fine or a prison sentence. See guidance on surrogacy abroad.
While there is good wi-fi and mobile phone networks in the main cities and towns of Cambodia, many of the islands and remote areas are not well covered. Make sure your friends and family are aware that you may be out of contact.
Cambodia does not have the same health and safety standards as in the UK. Be aware that safety advice will be minimal and there may be no warning signs about dangers at tourist sites.

FDFA (Switzerland) — laws and customs, in French
L'outrage à la famille royale est punissable. Tout comportement indécent ou contraire aux bonnes mœurs donne lieu à des poursuites pénales. Les infractions à la loi sur les stupéfiants, y compris la détention de minimes quantités de drogue quelle qu'elle soit , sont passibles de lourdes peines de prison. En cas de procédures judiciaires et enquêtes policières il faut s’attendre à de longs délais d’attente et tenir compte des us et coutumes locaux. Le recours à une avocate locale ou un avocat local choisi avec soin est indispensable. Les personnes impliquées dans une procédure pénale ne peuvent dans certaines circonstances quitter le pays pendant l'enquête/l'instruction. Il arrive aussi, en cas de litige financier, que la police empêche des personnes de nationalité étrangère de quitter le pays jusqu'à ce que l'affaire soit réglée. Les conditions de détention sont précaires.
Il est recommandé d'adapter son comportement et sa tenue vestimentaire aux us et coutumes locaux et aux sensibilités religieuses. Renseignez-vous dans les guides de voyages, auprès de votre agence ou directement sur place, sur les codes de conduite et les conventions à respecter.

Reading: With 0.2 physicians per 1,000 people (96% fewer than Switzerland), the nearest hospital does not always have the capacity for a serious case: evacuation to an adequate centre is the rule, not the exception — that is what unlimited evacuation and repatriation cover. Health spending of 115 USD per person (Switzerland: 11,784) goes with private hospitals that bill foreigners in hard currency and ask for a guarantee before admission: the direct payment guarantee is what avoids the deposit.

In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
Same advisory level: Ghana · Grenada · Greenland · Guinea · Equatorial Guinea · Hong Kong
The displayed level comes from the State Department, checked every morning. Before departure, always cross-check your country of residence's advisory: that is what your policy cites.
The level shown is the official U.S. Department of State level, checked daily. Maximum Insurance is an insurance distributor — general information, not personal advice.
