Bangladeshi passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Cambodia. This is the standard way to enter for tourism, and it's straightforward if you have the right documents ready. As of 2026, the process is well-established at all major entry points.
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 (exact change preferred) — bring a passport photo. The process takes 15–30 minutes.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Return ticket | Immigration officers ask for proof of onward travel at the visa-on-arrival counter. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight booking ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or booking.com voucher. Immigration rarely asks, but having it speeds up the visa-on-arrival process if questioned. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial proof | Have at least $500 USD in cash or a credit card statement showing available funds. Immigration rarely checks, but budget airlines may ask at check-in. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in US dollars cash. No credit cards, no Cambodian Riel. Bring $30 in crisp, undamaged bills. ATMs are available after immigration, but you'll need cash before that point.
e-Visa alternative
You can apply for a Cambodia e-visa online before you travel. It costs about $36, takes 3 business days, and lets you skip the visa-on-arrival queue. Useful if you want to save time at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the visa-on-arrival counter
After landing at Phnom Penh International Airport or Siem Reap International Airport, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival'. There's a dedicated counter before immigration. You'll fill out a simple application form (they'll give you one).
2
Submit documents and pay
Hand over your passport, the completed form, 2 photos, and $30 cash. The officer will process it. This usually takes 5-10 minutes.
3
Collect your passport with visa
Once processed, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Then proceed to the immigration queue for entry stamping.
4
Go through immigration
Present your passport (with visa), boarding pass, and return ticket if asked. You'll get an entry stamp. Keep the departure card they give you — you'll need it when you leave.
