Released on July 28, 2013
As the U.S. Embassy continues to monitor reaction to the July 28,
2013 elections, we will be closed to the public on the morning of
Monday, July 29 with regular consular services resuming at 12:00 noon.
We regret the inconvenience. If you had an appointment for American
Citizens Services on that morning, please reschedule your appointment.
If you need an emergency service, please contact the Embassy at
023-728-000. Please continue to monitor the Embassy's website for
updates on the status of services to the public.
Due to the potential for civil unrest over the next few days, the
U.S. Embassy encourages U.S. citizens to limit their movements, avoid
areas prone to gatherings, and immediately vacate any area where crowds
are gathering. Rival groups may take to the streets and public areas to
express their political views. Demonstrations or events intended to be
peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence
without warning. The Embassy advises U.S. citizens to remain alert to
local security developments by monitoring local news reports, be
vigilant regarding your personal security and preparedness, be aware of
your surroundings, and plan your activities accordingly.
We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Cambodia enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).
STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it
easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in
an emergency. If you don’t have Internet access, enroll directly with
the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
Regularly monitor the State Department's website, where you can find current Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and the Worldwide Caution. Read the Country Specific Information for Cambodia. For additional information, refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” on the State Department’s website.
