When to start: Allow at least 3 working days: that is the longest processing time the authority publishes.
Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from South Africa, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list South Africa as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a South Africa license
Cambodia and South Africa are both party to the 1949 Geneva Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in South Africa is one Cambodia is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.

- Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA) — Cambodia's e-Arrival portal lists an immigration card, a health declaration and a customs declaration, and offers a Cambodia e-Arrival app. It says all travellers can submit the e-Arrival within 7 days before their arrival and that submission is free, and it lists Techo International Airport, Siem Reap Angkor International Airport and Sihanoukville International Airport. Cambodia's eVisa portal says all travellers are required to fill in the e-Arrival even if they have been granted a visa, and Canada's travel advice says the forms must be completed within 7 days of your scheduled arrival.
