Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival at major airports | Get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports. Pay $30 USD in cash (exact change preferred) — have a passport photo ready. The eVisa at evisa.gov.kh is also an option if you want to skip the arrival queue.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Cambodia enforces the 6-month validity rule strictly — airlines check this at check-in. Your passport also needs at least one blank page for the visa sticker. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers ask for a flight out of Cambodia within 30 days. Budget airlines like AirAsia and VietJet check this before boarding — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration rarely asks for this, but the airline might. Have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Officials can ask for $1,000 USD equivalent in cash or a recent bank statement. ATMs in Cambodia dispense USD, but having cash on hand avoids hassle. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa fee must be paid in US dollars cash. ATMs are available after immigration, but you won't have access to them before you pay. Bring exact change if possible — $30 for tourist, $35 for business.
Passport photo tip
You need one passport photo for the visa form. If you forget, there's usually a photo booth at the airport, but it costs extra and adds time. Bring your own to breeze through.

Frequently asked questions
A tourist visa (T visa) costs $30 USD. A business visa (E visa) costs $35 USD. Pay in cash — US dollars are widely accepted. Have small bills ready; they may not have change.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'll need to leave the country and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before you travel (like an e-visa or a visa from a Cambodian embassy).
No, you don't have to. The visa on arrival is straightforward and works at all international airports. But if you prefer to skip the queue, you can apply for an e-visa online before you travel — it costs around $36 and takes 3 business days to process.
Visa on arrival is also available at most major land border crossings with Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. The process is similar — fill out a form, pay in cash, and get your visa. But some smaller crossings may not offer it, so check in advance.
No, the standard tourist visa on arrival is single-entry. If you leave Cambodia and want to come back, you'll need a new visa. For multiple entries, apply for a business visa (E visa) at a Cambodian embassy before you travel.
Overstaying costs $10 USD per day, up to a maximum of $500. You pay at immigration when you leave. It's better to leave on time or get a visa extension if possible.
Immigration may ask for a return or onward ticket. They rarely ask for proof of funds, but it's smart to have a credit card or some cash handy just in case.
