Things to Do in Cambodia for Cook Islander Travelers
Cook Islanders comfortable with lagoon snorkelling and palm-fringed beaches find an easy crossover at Cambodia's southern coast — Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem after the temple circuit at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. Most Cook Islander couples anchor 3-4 days in Siem Reap for sunrise temple tours, drift south to Phnom Penh on the Tonle Sap, then finish on the islands near Sihanoukville, all comfortably inside the 30-day Type T allowance.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Cambodia Travel Tips for Cook Islander Citizens
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.

Cambodia Visa FAQ for Cook Islander Citizens
Everything left to know before you apply for your Cambodia tourist visa or Cambodia e-Visa. If your question isn't here, our team replies via WhatsApp or email within minutes.
Do Cook Islander citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — Cook Islanders travel on New Zealand passports (Cook Islands is in free association with New Zealand) and need a Cambodia tourist or business visa for every entry. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues the electronic visa online. Cambodia has no embassy in Avarua or anywhere in the Pacific Islands Forum region.
How much is a Cambodia visa for Cook Islanders?
Our service charges $80 USD for the Type T tourist e-Visa and $90 USD for the Type E business e-Visa. The Cambodian government fee is $30 USD; our all-inclusive price covers processing and Ministry submission. Pricing in USD avoids New Zealand dollar conversion surprises.
Is there a Cambodia embassy in the Cook Islands?
No — there is no Cambodian embassy or consulate in the Cook Islands. The closest accredited missions are in Canberra and Tokyo. The online visa removes any need to courier a New Zealand passport overseas for a sticker visa.
What is the best route from the Cook Islands to Cambodia?
Most Cook Islander travellers fly Rarotonga to Auckland, then connect via Singapore, Bangkok or Hong Kong to . Auckland is the natural Pacific gateway and the eVisa is approved before the long-haul leg from RAR.
