For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

No advance visa is required. Chinese citizens holding passports of the People's Republic of China, including those from the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, and regardless of their place of departure, qualify for a temporary visa exemption where the stay is 14 days or less between 15 June 2026 and 15 October 2026; they are not required to apply for a Tourist Visa (Visa T) or to pay any visa fees, but must complete the E-Arrival Card before entering Cambodia.

The official source does not state whether a visa-exempt stay can be extended or changed.
