Registration for COVID-19 Vaccines
The Cambodian government has provided the following guidance for foreign residents of Cambodia, including American citizens, to request a COVID-19 vaccination:
- The Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MLVT) is responsible for registering foreign nationals holding an E-class Ordinary Visa and work permits issued by MLVT. A valid passport, valid visa, and work permit are required to register.
- Local authorities are responsible for registering all other foreign residents. A valid passport and valid visa are required to register.
Please refer to this announcement (3 pages) for further details.
American citizens seeking vaccination are encouraged to contact their employer (for E-class Ordinary Visa holders) or their local sangkat/commune authorities in accordance with this announcement. American citizens are not required to register with the Embassy and do not require a letter from the Embassy to be eligible for vaccination. American citizens may want to consider having a printed copy of this announcement in their possession when registering with Cambodian authorities and/or seeking vaccination.
Foreign nationals who are not residents or do not have valid visas are ineligible to receive vaccinations under this guidance.
