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, fill out the arrival card and visa application form on the plane.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound flight | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of a flight out of Cambodia within your visa validity. Have a printed or digital copy of your onward ticket ready — they check this at the visa-on-arrival counter. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have your hotel reservation or host's address written down. Immigration may ask where you're staying — showing a booking confirmation avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial evidence | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a credit card with available limit. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, showing cash or a bank statement works. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa-on-arrival fee must be paid in US dollars cash. ATMs are available after immigration, but you'll need the cash before you get through. Bring exact change if possible.
Visa-free entry for ASEAN neighbours
If you're also visiting Thailand, Vietnam, or Laos, check their visa rules separately. Cambodia's visa on arrival is separate from any regional agreements.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters. These are clearly marked before the immigration booths. You'll find separate counters for tourist and business visas.
2
Fill out the visa application form
Grab a form from the counter or from a table nearby. Fill in your details: name, passport number, flight number, hotel address. Keep it simple and legible.
3
Submit form, photo, and fee
Hand over your completed form, passport, one photo (if you have one), and the fee in US dollars. The officer will process it — usually takes 5-10 minutes.
4
Receive your visa sticker and proceed to immigration
Once approved, you'll get a visa sticker in your passport. Then walk to the immigration booth, get your passport stamped, and you're in.

Frequently asked questions
Yes — Phnom Penh International Airport and Siem Reap International Airport both have visa-on-arrival counters. Sihanoukville International Airport also offers it, but it's less common for tourists.
USD 30 for a tourist visa (valid for 30 days) and USD 35 for a business visa (also 30 days). Pay in US dollars cash — exact change is appreciated. They may not have change for large bills.
Yes, tourist visas can be extended once for an additional 30 days at the Immigration Department in Phnom Penh or through a travel agency. The extension costs around USD 45-50 and takes a few days.
Not strictly — they can take your photo at the counter for a small fee (usually USD 1-2). But bringing your own passport photo (4x6 cm, white background) speeds up the process.
You may be denied boarding by your airline or questioned by immigration. It's best to have a refundable onward ticket or a bus/boat ticket out of Cambodia. Some travellers use services like OnwardTicket for a temporary booking.
Yes — most land border crossings from Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos offer visa on arrival for Jordanian passport holders. Common crossings include Poipet (from Thailand), Bavet (from Vietnam), and Cham Yeam (from Thailand). The process is similar to airports.
No, it's not required for entry. But it's strongly recommended — medical costs for accidents or illness can be high, and insurance covers evacuation if needed.
