Cambodian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Pakistan. The online application is straightforward, and you can apply from anywhere. As of 2026, the eVisa is the standard way to get permission to travel.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before departure | Apply for a Pakistan eVisa at visa.nadra.gov.pk. The online form takes about 15 minutes — have your passport scan and a digital photo ready. Processing usually takes 3–5 working days, but can stretch to 10 days during peak periods.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Cambodian passport must be valid for at least the full duration of your stay in Pakistan. Airlines at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports check this before boarding — no exceptions. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or next-destination flight ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Pakistan. Border officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a recent bank statement showing at least $500 USD or the equivalent in PKR. Immigration may ask to see it if you look underfunded — better to have it than to argue at the counter. | Recommended |
eVisa is the only option
Cambodian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival for Pakistan. You must apply and receive approval online before you travel.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration enforces it strictly. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding.
