Lebanese passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Cambodia. You'll handle it at the airport after you land — no need to apply in advance. As of 2026, the process is straightforward if you have the right documents ready.
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 beyond your arrival date. Cambodia strictly enforces this — airlines check it at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a flight out of Cambodia within your visa validity. Have a printed or digital copy of your onward ticket ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a friend's address and phone number ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial evidence | Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a credit card with available balance. Immigration rarely checks, but budget airlines sometimes ask. | Recommended |
Cash only at visa counter
The visa on arrival counter accepts only US dollars cash. ATMs are available after you clear immigration, so get your USD before you fly. Bring small bills ($20s and $10s) — they may not have change for $100s.
Photo service available
If you forget a passport photo, the visa counter can take one for a small fee (around $1-2). It's a common service, so don't stress if you arrive without one.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport
After you get off the plane, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' before the immigration counters. You'll find a separate counter or desk — not the main passport control line.
2
Fill out the visa application form
Grab a form from the counter. Fill in your details: name, passport number, flight info, hotel address. Keep it simple and legible.
3
Submit form, photo, and fee
Hand over the completed form, your passport, one photo, and $30 (tourist) or $35 (business) in USD cash. The officer will process it — usually takes 5-10 minutes.
4
Collect your passport with visa
They'll call your name or hand it back. Check the visa sticker: make sure the dates and your name are correct. Then proceed to the immigration line for entry.
5
Go through passport control
Present your passport with the new visa to the immigration officer. They may ask for your return ticket or hotel booking — have them ready. You'll get an entry stamp and you're in.

Frequently asked questions
The tourist visa is $30 USD, and the business visa is $35 USD. Pay in cash — US dollars only. Exact change is preferred because the counter may not have change for large bills.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you want to stay longer than 30 days, you'll need to leave and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before you travel (like an e-visa or business visa). Overstaying costs $10 per day.
Yes, immigration may ask to see a confirmed onward ticket. It doesn't have to be a flight — a bus or boat ticket out of Cambodia works too. Keep a screenshot on your phone.
No problem — the visa counter can take your photo for a small fee (usually $1-2). But bringing your own saves time and avoids the extra cost.
Typically 10-20 minutes from filling out the form to getting your passport back. It can be longer during peak hours (late afternoon or evening when multiple flights arrive).
Yes, but it's less reliable. Major land crossings like Poipet (from Thailand) and Bavet (from Vietnam) offer visa on arrival, but the process can be slower and more chaotic. Airports are smoother.
You'll be fined $10 USD per day of overstay, payable at immigration when you leave. It's best to avoid overstaying — set a reminder a few days before your visa expires.
