Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports. Pay $30 USD in cash (bring exact change — ATMs are scarce before immigration). Have one passport photo ready; if you don't have one, they'll charge an extra $5 USD.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date in Cambodia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound travel proof | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or bus/train ticket out of Cambodia ready. Airlines also check this before issuing your boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Carry a printed or digital hotel reservation for at least your first night. Immigration rarely asks, but budget airlines sometimes check before letting you board. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial evidence | Have at least $500 USD in cash or a credit card statement showing available funds. Immigration almost never asks, but it's a formal requirement on the books. | Recommended |
Cash only at visa counter
The visa-on-arrival counter accepts only US dollars in cash. No credit cards, no other currencies. ATMs are available after immigration, but you need cash before that point. Bring $30–$35 in small bills.
Photo booth available at airports
If you forget your passport photo, both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports have photo booths near the visa counter. They cost about $2–$3 and take a few minutes.
What happens at the border
1
Fill out the arrival form
On the plane or at the airport, grab a Cambodia Arrival/Departure card and a visa application form. Fill them out in capital letters. You'll need your passport number, flight details, and hotel address.
2
Queue at the Visa on Arrival counter
At Phnom Penh (PNH) or Siem Reap (REP) airports, look for the 'Visa on Arrival' counter before immigration. Hand over your passport, completed form, photo, and $30/$35 cash. The officer will process it in 5–10 minutes.
3
Proceed to immigration
Once you have the visa sticker in your passport, join the immigration queue. Present your passport, arrival card, and onward ticket if asked. They'll stamp you in — usually for 30 days.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. There's usually no baggage check unless you look suspicious. Welcome to Cambodia.
