Cambodia visa information

A visa is required for entry to Cambodia

Citizens of Australia, UK, US, EU Countries, New Zealand and Canada require a visa to visit Cambodia. All other nationalities should check with the Cambodian embassy or consulate in their country of residence.

Obtaining a visa

Getting your Cambodian visa is a simple and efficient process. Tourist visas for most nationalities can be obtained on arrival at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airports for 20 USD cash. A visa form will be issued to you on the airplane or on arrival. You will also need one passport photo to accompany your visa application.

By visiting www.mfaic.gov.kh and by paying 25 USD by credit card, a 30-day tourist visa can be issued electronically within three business days (note that this visa is only valid for arrival at Cham Yeam (Koh Kong), Poi Pet (Banteay Meanchey) and Bavet (Svay Rieng), as well as Phnom Penh or Siem Reap international airports).

A current list of Cambodian border crossings is listed below. Please note that visa cannot be obtained on arrival from all these border crossings:

• Phnom Penh International Airport

We continue to receive mixed reports on obtaining visas at overland borders between Laos and Cambodia. Some travellers have been successful in obtaining visas on arrival when crossing from Laos. However, these border crossings are remote and conditions may fluctuate. To ensure a smooth crossing we recommend that all travellers crossing overland from Laos to Cambodia obtain their Cambodian visa before arrival.

Please allow 25 USD per person for international departure taxes, domestic departure taxes are now included in the cost of the ticket. Departure taxes must be paid in cash.

It is your responsibility to ensure all visa and entry requirements are met prior to your arrival in Cambodia.
