Domestic flights may start soon as well and with higher frequency than before. That鈥檚 been requested by civil aviation here. The final part is international flights and in and out from other countries. This is still locked and visas are not being granted for anyone.
I think Cambodia will do something similar personally. The countries here have too much trade and business that crosses borders.
The first part about Vietnam is not rumor. It鈥檚 been reported by news agencies and the city governments. The part about Cambodia just seems to be the best practice聽 approach. It鈥檚 all slow but sure. Gradual and phased changes. I think Cambodia will not open borders until June or July myself. Just have to wait and see.
Domestic flights will restart soon no news regarding international flights.
No visas on arrival.
Cheers

Stay safe mate!
I waited a few days after May 2 but there is no news regarding opening of borders for foreigners.
So it will probably be extended until May 31st.
Apart from that there is still the requirement for a covid-19 negative test plus a 50k insurance that covers covid19 expenses. Plus anyone entering needs to go in quarantine for 14 days.
No visa on arrival,聽 so if your friends can get a visa at the Cambodian consulate in Vietnam they might have a chance to get in.
I doubt they will get a visa this month but let them try,聽 never know.

I live in Cambodia but for about the past year I've been in Kazakhstan.聽 I want to return to Phnom Penh on June 22.聽 Any information on whether that will be possible, and what sort of documentation I might need, or even what agency in Phnom Penh I can contact for this information will be greatly appreciated.

As visa on arrival is not possible at the moment you need a visa from the embassy.聽 So contact the Cambodian consulate and they will give you information about requirements to enter the country.
Good luck.

So sad to read your honest reports. Was thinking even though I speak very little Khmer, that my companion Mr. Benjamin Franklin could open doors and allow me into the country since I have a DL Visa.

I'm afraid Mr. Franklin won't be of any help,聽 neither does your Vietnamese visa facilitate a return to Cambodia.聽 聽

COVID-19 Clearance Certificate but good luck with that as there does not seem to be any facility in either country willing to give them out let a lone do the testing. Vietnam Airlines will begin International Flights on June 1st but where are they expecting to fly to 馃槀. Latest grumbling from the halls of power is June 1st may see the borders reopening but don't hold your breath and make sure you have the clearance certificate and 14 days worth of clean underwear with you.

Nothing has changed for Vietnam, here鈥檚 what it still says on the (updated) website of the VN embassy in the US:
The Vietnamese government is still suspending entry into Vietnam to all foreigners, including people with a Vietnamese visa exemption certificate.聽 Only Vietnamese nationals, foreigners on diplomatic or official business, and highly skilled workers are allowed to enter the country at this time.聽 All persons entering Vietnam must undergo medical checks and 14-day quarantine upon arrival.
If so get a non-covid certificate.
Get a 50k insurance that covers covid-19
If you got all this be prepared to be tested in PP and wait for the result.
If negative you're free to go anywhere.
If positive you will go into quarantine .
That's all.
BTW I'm in Sihanoukville right now,聽 wonderful!

From the Reuters article, it is not completely clear how long the waiting for the test results will be, i.e. there might be a quarantine even for healthy arrivals:
Despite the easing, foreign visitors would still need to have a certificate no more than 72 hours old confirming that they are not infected with the novel coronavirus and proof of $50,000 worth of health insurance while in Cambodia, the ministry said.

They also would be quarantined for 14 days after arrival at government designate place and tested for the coronavirus, a ministry statement said, but did not specify where.
鈥淎ll passengers, both Cambodian and foreign, who are travelling to Cambodia, are admitted to waiting centres for the COVID-19 tests and that they are waiting for results from the Pasteur laboratory,鈥 Health Minister Mam Bunheng said in a statement, referring to respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus.

You just need a health insurance that covers at least 50k:

It is simple. The borders are closed no entry to foreigners in Cambodia.
After a meeting with government representatives yesterday they were sheepishly pointing at June 1st but only to those countries declared COVID-19 Free. Currently in this region Laos, Vietnam & Cambodia have that status. Malaysia & Singapore are not.
Borders will open but depending on certain conditions.
I said already read the article well.
People will have to wait until test results are known.聽 If negative they can go,聽 if positive they go in quarantine.聽 Clear as water.

Indeed, in this text it鈥檚 clear. You have to wait for the test results, but if they come back negative, no quarantine. These are very reasonable conditions, but it could be difficult to obtain a health certificate, depending where you live.

I have health insurance, but I wouldn鈥檛 risk coming to Cambodia without an official (looking) certificate concerning COVID 19. If they have doubts about its authenticity they will simply put you in quarantine, that鈥檚 my guess.
