| Valid passport Must be valid for 6 months beyond arrival | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry into Cambodia. Airlines check this at check-in — they will deny boarding if it expires sooner. | Required |

| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host. Immigration rarely asks, but budget airlines sometimes check before boarding. | Recommended |

Cash is king at the visa counter
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in US dollars. ATMs are available after immigration, but the visa counter won't accept cards. Bring $30–35 in cash, preferably small bills.
Overstay fines add up fast
Overstaying even one day costs $10. If you're planning to stay longer than 30 days, get a business visa on arrival — it's extendable. Don't assume you can just pay the fine later.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At Phnom Penh (PNH), Siem Reap (REP), or Sihanoukville (KOS) airports, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' after baggage claim. At land borders like Poipet or Bavet, look for the visa office before the immigration booth.
2
Fill out the application form
Grab a form from the counter. Fill in your details — name, passport number, flight number, hotel address. Attach your passport photo. If you don't have a photo, they'll take one for about $2.
3
Submit and pay
Hand over your passport, completed form, and photo. Pay the fee in US dollars. Tourist visa is $30, business visa $35. They'll process it in 5–15 minutes.
4
Collect your passport with visa
Wait nearby. They'll call your name or hand it back. Check the visa sticker — make sure your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. Then proceed to immigration for entry stamp.
