| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers ask for a flight out of Cambodia within your visa validity. Have a printed or digital copy of your onward ticket ready — budget airlines sometimes check this at check-in too. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host. Immigration rarely asks for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the visa-on-arrival counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Have at least $500 USD in cash or a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration officers rarely check this for Hungarian passport holders, but the rule exists. | Recommended |
Cash only — no cards
The visa-on-arrival counter accepts only US dollars in cash. There are ATMs at the airport, but they charge fees and may not dispense small bills. Bring 30-35 USD in crisp notes.
Photo booth available at airports
If you forget a passport photo, both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports have automated photo booths near the visa counter. They cost about 2-3 USD and take a few minutes.
