Key Details of the Policy
The Angkor Institute will remove requirements for photos, nationality, age, and gender for 1-day entry tickets starting in late September 2024 to promote tourism. This decision, made at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Angkor on August 27, 2024, was led by Deputy Prime Minister Aun Porn Moniroth.
The primary goal of this policy is to ease entry for tourists, reduce wait times, and improve the overall visitor experience at Angkor. By eliminating the need for personal details like photos, nationality, age group, and gender, the process becomes faster and more efficient.

Future Reforms
- Ticket Grouping by Temple Starting 2025: A joint working group is being established to explore further reforms, including ticket sales for groups of temples. These reforms are expected to launch in the second phase, starting from January 1, 2025.
These changes are part of Cambodia’s broader effort to modernize the ticketing system at Angkor, ensuring a smoother experience for visitors while promoting the rich cultural heritage of the ancient temple complex.
