I couldn't find this in a recent search but can I cross to cambodia by land border to get my visa stamp and come back a day or two later? I have to leave by March 24th. Also I know I need a PCR or APK test. I thought they were one and the same. Can I buy this at my local 7-11 and take it in front of them or do I have to go somewhere and do it so there is a record of when I took it? Time is not on my side here.
Summary so far
The question is about traveling to Cambodia by land for a visa stamp but concerns arise regarding current travel restrictions. Recent comments indicate that land borders into Cambodia are currently closed and you can only enter by flying to Phnom Penh. A PCR test is typically required for travel but recent updates suggest that such testing may no longer be necessary. It is also clarified that ATK tests can be purchased at local stores, but PCR tests must be done at a clinic. However, this situation is rapidly changing, and it's crucial to verify the latest regulations before proceeding.

PCR test needs to be done by a clinic or hospital. An ATK test can be bought in a shop/pharmacy

I also have flight protection on my credit card in case I cancel they don't want to refund. My credit card will just give you back the money.

Good luck. Sometimes you can change for a small fee. No harm in trying anyway that’s for sure.

it sure is good news but I bought my ticket today to Cambodia not realizing that Vietnam is now opened up. I was at the embassy three days ago and nothing had changed so now I have to see if I can change my ticket to Vietnam now. That's my number one choice to do a Visa run

Yes I know, but you asked where you could buy a PCR or ATK test. Was just letting you know.

Good news that its been removed now though.

Professional test with a clinical report is required like it is for most countries that still require a test.
