A passenger customs guide for Cambodia says there is no restriction on bringing foreign currency into the country, but funds of 10,000 US dollars or more must be declared to the customs authorities. The same guide says there is no restriction on taking foreign currency out of Cambodia, yet funds of 10,000 US dollars or more must still be declared to customs and also require an export permit from the National Bank of Cambodia. The page points travelers who need more detail to the General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia. Those cash rules sit alongside other passenger limits, including a choice of 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco, and 2 litres of alcohol, for travelers aged 18 or over. Declaring a large amount of currency is therefore a reporting step at the border rather than a ban on foreign cash itself.

Agence Kampuchea Presse reported on 3 September 2026 that the Ministry of Tourism reminded national and international tourists of emergency contact numbers available 24 hours a day during their stay and travel in Cambodia. The reminder came from the Secretariat of the Inter-Ministerial Committee for Facilitating the Travel and Transportation of Tourists and Travellers at international border gates, and it was meant to present Cambodia as a safe and welcoming destination. For security and safety cases the announcement lists the General Commissariat of National Police at 117. It lists the Tourism Police Department separately at 016 654 736, and a Rapid Response Team for Foreigners at 031 201 2345 or 031 601 2345. Entry and exit problems are directed to the General Department of Immigration on 068 386 699, 078 386 699 or 087 386 699, while medical emergencies and physical accidents go to the Emergency Ambulance Service at 119.

The Phnom Penh Post reported that Cambodia's first dedicated Fire Rescue Command Centre was inaugurated on 23 October 2024 inside the headquarters compound of the National Police, with the aim of improving fire prevention. General Neth Vantha, director of the National Police Department of Fire Prevention, Extinguishing and Rescue, said the centre was the first dedicated command centre for managing fires and giving advanced warnings. General Sar Thet, the national police chief, said the facility would serve selected factories, enterprises, businesses and private residences through an information network whose technical equipment was supplied by the partner firm Top Fire Safety Cambodia. The centre can alert a property owner by smartphone, notify the fire brigade and dispatch the nearest fire truck, and registered customers already included sites in Siem Reap and Preah Sihanouk. The National Police said 3,300,000 dollars was invested with the private sector, of which 800,000 dollars went to the building, 500,000 dollars to technical equipment and 2,000,000 dollars to new technology and the data system. In the first six months of 2024 the country recorded 738 fires, 222 more than in the same period of 2023, leaving 9 people dead, 25 injured, and 450 homes plus 502 stalls and commercial premises destroyed.

Khmer Times reported on 16 July 2025 that Interior Ministry officials processed 20,000 passport applications in June, including 300 filed online, as the ministry tried to speed up public services. Spokesman Touch Sokhak said officials would keep giving efficient service, including special help for people who are sick, elderly or disabled. The General Department of Identification had opened an online passport service so citizens could apply before they arrive and shorten the wait. From its launch in June 2024 through April, that system had received 5,188 applications, of which 4,302 were approved and 812 were rejected. Passport counters named in the report are the Passport Department in Niroth commune in Chbar Ampov district, AEON Malls 2 and 3, and branches in Battambang, Koh Kong, Poipet in Banteay Meanchey, and the Heritage Walk Centre in Siem Reap. Separate travel-document services were offered at the Stung Meanchey Market branch and the Banteay Meanchey provincial branch.

A report on a Ministry of Tourism press release says Prime Minister Hun Manet appointed a new composition of the Cambodia Tourism Marketing and Promotion Board, also called the Cambodia Tourism Board, on 27 June 2024. The appointment followed a sub-decree of 6 February 2024 revising the organisation and functioning of that board, with the stated aim of closer public-private cooperation in promoting Cambodia abroad. The board brings together eight public institutions, chaired by the Minister of Tourism, and seven private-sector bodies that matter to the industry, for 15 institutions in all. The same account describes the board as an autonomous government agency under a public-private partnership, created by the Royal Government through the Ministry of Tourism, with the minister chairing the board of directors. Its stated mission is to raise tourist arrivals and to lift tourism's share of gross domestic product above the 12 percent level given in the article, though the piece also says funding was still uncertain and that the ministry was discussing direct funding from 2 January 2026, possibly from Angkor Wat ticket levies or an extra accommodation tax.

A profile of the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia says the body was established under the law on the issuance and trading of non-government securities, Preah Reach Kram NS/RKM/1007/028. It regulates the securities industry so that capital can be mobilized from public investors to meet financing demand and support socio-economic development. Its stated missions are to protect the lawful rights of public investors and to keep offers, issues, purchases and sales of securities fair and orderly. The same profile says the regulator is meant to promote effective and orderly securities markets, encourage saving through securities and other instruments, and welcome foreign participation in those markets. It also lists help with the privatization of state-owned enterprises, and it places the organization's office in Phnom Penh at Building 168F, street 598, Sangkat Chrang Chamres 1, Khan Russey Keo.

Cambodia's Law on Application of the Civil Code, promulgated as Royal Kram NS/RK/0511/007 after the National Assembly passed it on 6 April 2011 and the Senate approved it on 9 May 2011, defines what counts as a notarial document. Under that law a notarial document can be a paper made by a notary, or a private document that a notary authenticates, dates and signs, and for certain wills it can also be a document made by a notary or a consul. The Minister of Justice is to identify not more than two officers, drawn from judges or prosecutors of a court of first instance or from public-official dignitaries who have legal experience and at least a bachelor degree in law, to handle necessary notary affairs until another law says otherwise. Notaries and notary offices already appointed before this law keep their power to perform notary work under the Civil Code, the Code of Civil Procedure and other applicable laws. During the provisional period those officers may authenticate articles of incorporation and make notarial documents, and they must check the identities of the parties through witnesses, a birth certificate or a certification of birth, with further tasks set by a prakas of the Ministry of Justice.

The Hague Conference status table for Convention number 12, the Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, was last updated on 30 June 2026 and counts 130 contracting parties. The page explains that a contracting party covers both parties for whom the convention has entered into force and parties for whom it has not yet entered into force after they deposit an instrument of ratification, accession, acceptance or approval. Cambodia does not appear in that alphabetical list of contracting parties and signatories. The entries around the place where Cambodia would fall run from Cabo Verde to Canada, then Chile and China, with no Cambodia row and no Cambodian competent authority listed. Because the table is the conference record of who is bound by this apostille convention, the page itself does not show Cambodia as a party that issues or accepts an apostille under it.

A CIA World Factbook communications note for Cambodia, marked 2019, describes a mix of state-owned, joint public-private, and privately owned broadcast media. It counts 27 television stations, most of them operating on multiple channels, including one state-operated station with multiple locations and 11 stations that are either jointly operated or privately owned. The same note lists multi-channel cable and satellite systems, and 84 radio stations, including one state-owned broadcaster with multiple stations plus a mix of public and private broadcasters. One international broadcaster is available, and one television station is jointly run by China and the Ministry of Interior. Several television and radio operators broadcast online only, often through Facebook, and the note gives the internet country code as kh.

A World Trade Organization licensing notice carrying the symbol G/LIC/N/3/KHM/6 says the Ministry of Health administers import permits for narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors declared for medical use, in order to protect human health and meet international standards. The same notice says only companies registered by the ministry may import pharmaceuticals and narcotics, and a Cambodian firm can register if it employs at least one licensed pharmacist. A product registration fee of 1,000,000 riels is charged under a health ministry prakas of 13 June 1996 and a joint prakas of 18 November 2016, and the Department of Drugs and Food holds the list of authorized importers, which stood at 530 companies as of 29 August 2024. The import licensing fee is 200,000 riel, a company licence lasts two years, and an import permit lasts eight months and cannot be extended. Applications pass through the Pharmaceutical Trade Bureau and the director of the Department of Drugs and Food before they reach senior health ministry officials, under laws that include the 28 December 2007 amendment of the drug-management law and the 2 January 2012 drug-control law.

The 2025 Investment Climate Statement from the United States Department of State says Cambodia does not have a sovereign wealth fund. The same report then describes state-owned enterprises instead and counts 15 of them, including the Agricultural and Rural Development Bank, Electricite du Cambodge, the Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville autonomous ports, the Phnom Penh and Siem Reap water authorities, the SME Bank of Cambodia, Telecom Cambodia and Cambodia Post. Under the Law on the General Statute of Public Enterprises, commercial state-owned enterprises are either wholly owned by the state or joint ventures in which the state holds a majority of the capital. Each enterprise is supervised by a ministry or institution and overseen by a board drawn from senior officials, and private firms are generally allowed to compete with them on equal terms. The report adds that there is no ongoing privatization program and that the government has not announced plans to privatize the existing state-owned enterprises.

A Wikipedia account of the Royal Cambodian Navy describes it as the naval branch of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and one of the kingdom's three uniformed services, under the Ministry of National Defense and commanded by Admiral Tea Vinh. The page estimates 2,800 active personnel, including 1,500 marines, and roughly 19 ships, with headquarters in Phnom Penh. It says the service became a separate force in 1954 and was at first limited to coastal and riverine patrols. The same page describes the National Committee for Maritime Security, set up in December 2010 on the initiative of Prime Minister Hun Sen, as working with and for the navy from bases in Sihanoukville, Ream and Phnom Penh. That committee's stated work includes terrorism, piracy, human trafficking, cross-border crime, drug trafficking, protection of natural resources and emergency rescue, and the page does not describe a separate coast guard.

A Khmer Times report of 16 August 2023 says the General Department of Immigration started using a digital telephone system for its hotline so callers could give information, obtain emergency services, file reports or ask for intervention. The department's statement listed the hotline numbers 068 38 66 99, 078 38 66 99 and 087 38 66 99, and it also pointed people to the department website, its official Facebook page and email. Deputy director-general Keo Vannthan said an ordinary telephone line had been used before and that the digital system was meant to be more responsive. He said foreigners and the public needed easy access to immigration information, including visas, immigration services and requests for intervention involving foreigners. Callers can use the digital hotline to request action within 24 hours, Monday through Sunday, and director-general Kirt Chantharith had told officers earlier that August to coordinate those interventions.

A Khmer Times report of 9 September 2022 says the National Committee for Counter Trafficking asked the public, foreign missions and embassies to report human trafficking and other transnational crimes through hotlines and social media. Chou Bun Eng, a secretary of state at the Ministry of Interior and vice-chairwoman of the committee, listed hotlines 119, 117 and 031 201 2345, plus an English-language hotline on Telegram at 097 9117 117. Police officer Long Serey Vuth, who staffs the 117 line with 11 other team members, said 117 is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that the team gets about 10 calls a day. He said the 117 hotline does not have English, so foreigners who want help should use the Telegram contact, where English is used. Chou Bun Eng said the hotlines receive about 1,000 calls and that cases judged to be genuine are passed to police.

The Tourism Cambodia information page describes a Tourist Information Center that offers current information on travel, accommodations, attractions and events, and it tells visitors to make the center a first stop. Leaflets, brochures and books are available at an information desk staffed by English-speaking specialists who help with lodging and attractions, and the desk can also print information about particular places. The page places one center on Preah Sisowath Quay in front of the Court of Appeal in Phnom Penh, with the telephone number 097 2473 773. It also lists a Sihanoukville center on Serendipity Beach street with the telephone number 016 351 319. A separate Phnom Penh listing on the same page is the private agency Holiday Destination at 262D Monivong Boulevard in Khan Daun Penh, telephone 023 218 585.

Forte Insurance (Cambodia) Plc tells travelers to submit claim documents within 30 days of returning from a trip, and it says incomplete papers can delay or reject reimbursement. The basic file is the traveler's certificate of insurance, the company's traveler claim form, and a copy of the passport biodata page plus the pages carrying an immigration police stamp. Medical claims also need a practitioner's claim information, original medical certificates or reports, and original receipts, while lost baggage or personal money must be reported to police or another authority at the place of loss within 24 hours. Documents can be handed in at the company's offices in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Kampong Cham, Preah Sihanouk and Kampong Speu, and an emergency medical line is the Europ Assistance helpline in Thailand at 2180 5588. The procedure says incomplete files are flagged within 3 days, a complete claim is processed within 15 working days, and a payable amount is then settled within 3 working days after the traveler accepts it, by bank transfer if requested, by cheque above 100 US dollars, or in cash at or below that amount.

A pharmacist-supervised travel guide updated on 26 July 2026 says personal-use prescription medicines are generally treated as allowed for up to three months, and over-the-counter products as one container of each type, although Cambodia does not publicly release specific quantitative import standards. The guide lists phenobarbital, amphetamines, codeine products, tramadol, and ergotamine as absolutely prohibited. It says psychotropics such as diazepam and clonazepam are restricted and need a declaration, an English physician prescription, and an English medical certificate. Methylphenidate needs a prescription and no more than a six-month supply, prednisone needs documentation of medical necessity, warfarin needs INR results, and insulin needs an English physician medical certificate. After the 2023 customs reform, the guide says officers increasingly ask for that certificate as well as the prescription, with the patient name and date of birth, an English diagnosis, the physician signature and seal, an official hospital stamp, and an issue date ideally within one month of travel. Certificates are typically issued in seven to ten days, medicines should stay in their original containers in carry-on luggage, and the aircraft declaration should be marked yes.

Marie Stopes Cambodia says emergency contraception pills can be used for up to five days after unprotected sex and work by delaying or preventing the release of an egg. The same clinic page describes a morning-after pill, also called Plan B, and an intrauterine device that can stop a fertilised egg from settling, and it calls both options safe and effective. It lists advantages as safety for almost all women, no effect on long-term fertility, no abortion, use at any point in the cycle, and no harm from the method. It lists disadvantages as coverage only for sex in the previous five days, unsuitability as a regular method, no protection against sexually transmitted infections, and possible bleeding, nausea, or fatigue. The page also warns that St John's Wort, epilepsy medicines, HIV medicines, tuberculosis medicines, and antacids can interact with the treatment.

People in Need, writing on 7 April 2026, describes EWS1294 as a multi-channel early warning service for storms and floods. Households can hear a recorded message by dialing 1294, receive text messages on a mobile phone, follow Telegram, listen to ABC Radio, and, more recently in Pursat, hear warnings from village loudspeakers. Technical specialist Da says text messages and Telegram are fast for people who have phones, radio reaches remote households, the recorded phone line helps people with limited literacy, and loudspeakers reach elderly people, children, and households without a phone. The article says authorities watch sensors and weather reports and then send messages so families can prepare, protect belongings, and evacuate. People in Need says it plans to expand the loudspeakers across the country.

Khmer Times reported on 5 October 2026 that 72 Cambodian soldiers travelled to Hanoi for the 2026 Civil Defence Exercise of the armed forces of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The exercise ran from 29 September to 15 October at the 249th Engineer Brigade of the Vietnam People's Army. General Sao Sokha, deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and commander of the National Military Police, saluted the troops on 28 September and told them to observe host rules, keep discipline, and guard against infectious disease. Lieutenant Colonel Long Kimthean, who led the Cambodian coordination team, said this was the fifth iteration since 2022, following sessions in Laos in 2022 and 2025, in Vietnam in 2023, and in Kampong Chhnang in 2024. Scenarios included floods, landslides, earthquakes, and building collapses, and Seun Sam discussed civilian evacuation. Defence ministers from all three countries attended.

Khmer Times reported on 17 December 2025 that the Phnom Penh Administration would divert traffic for the Union of Cambodian Youth Federations March for Peace. The march was scheduled for 18 December 2025 at 4:00 pm, with people gathering in front of the night market and walking toward the Independence Monument through Daun Penh, Chamkar Mon, and Boeung Keng Kang. Vehicles were to be sent along Sisowath Avenue from in front of the Night Market to the Samdech Sangharach Chuon Nath Roundabout, then right along Suramarit Boulevard to the Independence Monument Roundabout. Drivers were asked to avoid that route from 2:00 pm until the program ended, after which traffic would reopen. The stated purpose was to show love for peace and to encourage respect for the Cambodia-Thailand ceasefire and peace agreement.

A CambodiaHelp driving guide updated on 10 November 2026 lists 1,200,000 riel, equal to 300 US dollars, for driving a car without a license, and 2,400,000 riel, equal to 600 US dollars, for a truck or bus. A bike above 125 cc without a license is listed at 120,000 riel, equal to 30 US dollars, while a bike up to 125 cc needs no license, and a missing helmet for the driver or passenger of a bike or tuk-tuk is listed at 60,000 riel, equal to 15 US dollars. Using a phone while driving a car is listed at 120,000 riel, drunk driving at 250,000 to 800,000 riel, carrying too many passengers on a bike at 15,000 riel, and speeding on a bike by up to 19 km/h at 15,000 riel. The guide says fines were temporarily not issued from late March 2026 and that police started issuing them again on 1 September 2026, mainly for speeding, red lights, failing to give way, overloading, and drunk driving. It says the Ministry of Interior promised to look into complaints from foreigners about unjustified fines and that a driver should ask for an official receipt. License exchange is listed at 120,000 riel, usually for one year, the category A exam at 100,000 riel and category B at 180,000 riel for a ten-year license, and an overdue renewal at 500 riel a day.

A photo guide last checked on 2 November 2026 says the Passport Department of the General Department of Identification, under the Ministry of Interior, issues ordinary Cambodian passports. It says the department's published checklist, which the guide dates to December 2019, asks for the new-model Khmer national identity card, or a birth-certificate copy plus a residence book or family book, and lists no photograph and no print size. The same guide says no pixel size, file format, or upload rule is published for ordinary passport applications, and that sizes such as 35 by 45 millimetres or 4 by 6 centimetres do not appear in the rules it read. It names passport offices at Aeon Mall 2 in Sen Sok, Phnom Penh, in Siem Reap province, and a combined national identity card and passport office at Aeon Mall Mean Chey that opened in April 2025. It also says the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Berlin cannot issue a new passport and that a relative in Cambodia may apply with an embassy attestation letter. The guide says it is not a government agency and that applicants should ask the passport office if the checklist has changed.

HBS Notary Public of the Kingdom of Cambodia tells EuroCham that it was the first notary office established and recognized under Sub-Decree No 144 of 23 September 2008. The profile places the office on the 37th floor of GIA Tower on Sopheak Mongkul Road, Diamond Island, Sangkat Tonle Basak, Khan Chamkar Mon, Phnom Penh, and lists the phones 089 851 818 and 081 851 818. It says the office prepares and notarizes papers for loans, sales, leases, donations, wills, and company matters, and that it can certify copies, translations, and signatures. The profile says documents authenticated there have probative value and can be enforced without a judgment on the merits. It names Davann Tanheang, described as director of the Royal School for Notary, and Tayseng Ly as the managers. The page is the firm's own membership profile and describes this one office rather than a national directory.

The Hague Conference status table for the Convention of 5 October 1961, last updated on 30 June 2026, lists 130 contracting parties. In the alphabetical table the entries move from Cabo Verde to Canada and then to Chile, and Cambodia does not appear. Each listed party has a column for the authority designated to issue apostilles. Because Cambodia is not among the contracting parties on that table, the table shows no Cambodian competent authority for an apostille. The page explains that a contracting party includes a state whose instrument has been deposited even when the convention has not yet entered into force for it, and Cambodia is absent from that list as well.

A Khmer Times guide dated 5 March 2026 says the Foreigners Presence Control System is an online registration system managed by the Cambodian National Police and introduced by the General Department of Immigration, with enforcement from 1 July 2020. Landlords who rent to foreigners must register the property and each foreign tenant, and the guide says the fine for failing to do so is 30,000 riel per foreign tenant. Interior Minister Sar Sokha said that from March 2026 owners of premises where foreigners live or work must report them, and that full enforcement would apply from the beginning of that month. Registration can be done at the commune or sangkat police station where the property is located, or in the FPCS app by creating a residence, scanning an identity document, and adding each tenant's passport and visa details. Foreign tenants usually do not file the record themselves, but they should give the landlord the passport photo page and visa page and confirm that the new address is registered after a move. The guide says a registration does not transfer automatically when the person changes accommodation.

An unofficial English translation dated 3 September 2022 of a National Social Security Fund prakas says every employer or owner of an enterprise covered by the Law on Social Security Schemes must register that enterprise with the fund. An enterprise already operating and not yet registered had to register within 30 days after the prakas came into force, and an enterprise already registered for the occupational-risk and health-care schemes does not have to register again. Registration uses the form called Registration of Enterprise or Establishment, also called form one zero one, in annex 1 of the prakas. The employer attaches the commercial registry issued by the Ministry of Commerce, or another equivalent legal paper, plus the Khmer national identity card or passport of the employer or representative. The same translation says the employer must register each worker within three days of the day the worker starts, except a worker who already holds a membership card.

A 30 January 2026 note from VLP Law Office says Khmer is not mandatory for contracts in Cambodia, subject to stated exceptions, and that the Civil Code does not generally require Khmer or invalidate a contract written in a foreign language. It says English and Chinese contracts are commonly used, especially with foreign parties, while language problems more often appear when a document is registered or enforced. If a foreign-language contract is filed in a Cambodian court, a Khmer translation must be attached, and the note says courts in practice accept translations from independent translation companies. Standard-form consumer contracts must be prepared in Khmer, though a foreign-language version may be added, and land-transfer registration uses prescribed Khmer forms. Long-term or perpetual leases of 15 years and above are accepted by land authorities only in Khmer, and a foreign arbitral award filed for enforcement must include a certified Khmer translation.

WageIndicator, on a page updated on 17 April 2026, says the Labour Law gives annual leave to all workers after one year of service. A full-time worker on a 48-hour week earns one and a half days of annual leave for each month of service, which is 18 working days over 12 months. Workers on fewer hours receive a pro-rata amount, so a 40-hour week is described as one and a quarter days a month, or 15 working days a year, and a 24-hour week as nine working days a year. The same page says one extra day is added for every three years of continuous service, and that normal wages for the leave must be paid before the leave starts, using the higher of average actual earnings or the daily wage the worker would have earned. It says leave is generally taken at Khmer New Year unless the parties agree otherwise, and that splitting is not allowed for workers under 18 or for apprentices when the leave is longer than 15 days. The page cites articles 166 to 170 of the Labour Law under Royal Order CS/RKM/0397/01 of 13 March 1997, as amended in 2021.

The National Social Security Fund benefit page says workers at enterprises registered with the fund are entitled to employment-injury benefits when they suffer an employment injury. It defines an employment injury as a work injury, a commuting accident, or an occupational disease, and it says treatment is through health facilities, polyclinics, or general practitioners recognized by the fund. The daily allowance for temporary disability equals 70 percent of the daily average wage, and a caretaker allowance in a health facility equals half of the victim's daily allowance. The page says the temporary allowance continues until recovery. A permanent disability assessed at less than 20 percent is paid as a disability allowance, while a disability of at least 20 percent is paid as a permanent disability pension.

WageIndicator, on a page updated on 17 April 2026, says female employees are entitled to at least 90 days of maternity leave on the birth of a child, and that the Arbitration Council has treated those 90 days as calendar days, including Sundays and holidays. The page says the employer pays half wages, plus other benefits, to a worker with at least one year of service. Instruction No 015/25 of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training requires the employer to pay that half-wage amount in full before the leave starts. A worker with nine months of contributions in the last 12 months is also described as receiving 70 percent of reference earnings for 90 days from the National Social Security Fund. The same page says the fund's health-care scheme covers antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care at contracted facilities when the worker is registered and has either two consecutive months of contributions or at least six months in the preceding 12 months.

WageIndicator, on a page updated on 17 April 2026, says Cambodia's private-sector old-age pension, under the 2019 Law on Social Security Schemes and Sub-Decree No 32 of 2021, is payable at age 60 after at least 12 months of pension contributions. The page says the pension is funded by joint contributions from employers and workers and is calculated from a pension rate times average wage. It describes an accrual rate of one and three-quarter percent for the first 15 years and one and one-quarter percent after that, with a floor of at least 40 percent of the reference wage. A worker who does not meet the minimum contribution period receives a lump-sum old-age allowance instead. A survivor pension is 45 percent of the deceased's old-age or invalidity pension, split equally between the spouse and the children, if the deceased had at least 60 months of contributions, and the claim must be filed within three months of the death.

A compilation of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia, presented as the 1993 text amended through 2014, quotes Article 34 on the right to vote. It says Khmer citizens of both sexes who are at least 18 years old have the right to vote. It says citizens who are at least 25 years old may stand for election to the National Assembly, and citizens who are at least 40 years old may stand for the Senate. The same article says any rule that takes away the right to vote or to stand as a candidate is to be set by the electoral law. The page also records that Khmer citizens of both sexes have the right both to vote and to stand as candidates.

A data-protection monitor updated on 11 November 2026 says Cambodia has no comprehensive personal-data law in force, so the draft Law on Personal Data Protection creates no binding transfer rules yet. It says the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications held a validation workshop on that draft on 5 August 2026 with government, private-sector, and European Union Delegation participants, and that no enactment date has been announced. The monitor says no independent data-protection authority exists, and that the draft would leave enforcement with ministry-appointed inspectors. Until a general law is enacted, the page says the only binding data-handling duties it identifies are a National Bank of Cambodia reporting requirement for cross-border data handling in banking-sector outsourcing and an e-commerce law rule on marketing opt-out. The page treats cross-border transfer controls in the draft as not yet operative.

The Department of Consumer Protection, inside the Ministry of Commerce directorate-general for consumer protection and competition, says its Office for Consumer Complaint Handling receives complaints from consumers, consumer associations, regulators, and other organisations. The department page says that office examines and resolves complaints under the consumer-protection framework, sends a case to the Office for Investigation when an investigation is needed, and publishes the complaint procedure. The department itself was converted from the former fraud-repression department by Sub-Decree No 38 of 16 March 2020, and its offices were set by Prakas No 255 of 28 August 2020. Its duties include preparing and examining complaints so that procedural action can be taken, and watching advertisements that are false, misleading, or fraudulent. The page describes this office as the complaint desk inside the directorate-general rather than a court.

The Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia said in a public notification dated 20 August 2026 that users should first report poor internet quality, outages, disconnections, or equipment problems to their own operator. If the operator does not fix the problem, or the user is not satisfied, the user may file a complaint with the regulator. The notice says the regulator can be reached on hotline 6789 during business hours or through its official Facebook page, Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia. It says the regulator still receives complaints about delays by operators and will monitor those cases. It also says it will act against an operator that deliberately avoids or refuses to cooperate in resolving a user's problem. The notice covers internet-service problems and tells users to start with the company named in the service agreement.

Khmer Times reported on 12 September 2023 that Electricite du Cambodge warned customers about people posing as staff and asking for bank transfers to pay a monthly bill, replace a meter, or repair a meter. The utility said customers should not pay or transfer money to an unidentified person and should instead notify the company. It said a monthly bill or other service fee can be paid only against a valid receipt, or through banks and microfinance institutions that are official partners, and that staff are not sent to collect cash without an official invoice.

Khmer Times reported on 1 April 2025 that Cambodia Post warned the public about a fraudulent website using the postal service's name. The notice said the fake site contacts people about parcel arrivals and about how to pay, and that no payment should be made through that site.

For further inquiries the article says people can call the toll-free number 2888. The report also notes that the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications had been warning the public about phishing and scam call centres.
