Caution during the New Year holidays

Dec. 20, 2024, 3:51 p.m.
1. Safety Measures During the New Year period, many foreign tourists visit the country every year, increasing the risk of becoming a victim of crimes such as pickpocketing, snatching, bag snatching, and hotel room burglary. In addition, awareness of compliance with traffic laws is lower in Cambodia than in Japan, and there are many traffic accidents. Specifically, accidents while riding bicycles or motorcycles, tuk-tuks rolling over or rear-ending, and accidents where people are hit by motorcycles while walking in tourist spots or urban areas have occurred. In light of this situation, the Siem Reap Provincial Police are conducting special vigilance activities to prevent crimes and accidents during the New Year period. When going out, please be especially careful to manage your valuables and avoid traffic accidents.

2. Passport To enter Cambodia, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. If you lose your passport during the New Year period, it will take several days to process your passport and you will be forced to change your stay dates. Please take great care in managing your passport. It is a good idea to obtain a certified copy of your family register just in case. If you cannot find your passport, first check your luggage carefully. After that, inquire at the accommodation or other facilities you were staying at to see if you left it behind.

3. Overseas accident insurance If you use cashless medical treatment with a credit card during the New Year period, it may take time to confirm the terms of use in Japan, and you may have to pay the full amount in advance. In addition, if it is difficult to treat you at a medical institution in Cambodia, you may need to be transported to a neighboring country or Japan, which will cost a lot of money. In preparation for such a situation, we strongly recommend that you purchase overseas accident insurance that covers transportation costs.

3. Japanese residents and tourists should be aware of the traffic conditions on surrounding roads when going out.

Please be careful to manage your valuables carefully to avoid becoming a victim.
If you are participating in the marathon, please take care of your health by not pushing yourself and taking frequent breaks and drinking fluids, if you feel unwell.
