Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply for a Cambodia eVisa at evisa.gov.kh. The fee is $30 USD, paid online by credit card. Processing takes 3 working days — do not apply less than a week before departure. Print two copies: one for immigration at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, one for your airline check-in counter.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival | Your Luxembourg passport needs at least 6 months of validity remaining from your date of entry into Cambodia. Airlines at Luxembourg and connecting hubs check this before issuing a boarding pass. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before booking. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports ask for a flight out of Cambodia before they issue the visa on arrival. Have a printed itinerary or a digital copy on your phone showing a departure flight within 30 days. Budget airlines like AirAsia and VietJet also check this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their full address and phone number. Immigration rarely asks for it, but if they do and you have nothing, they may delay you at the counter. A single night's booking is enough to satisfy the officer. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Bring at least $300 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing you can cover your stay. Immigration officers rarely check this for Luxembourg passport holders, but the law allows them to ask. ATMs in Cambodia dispense USD, but bring some cash for the visa fee ($30 USD) and airport taxi. | Recommended |
Cash is king at the visa counter
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in US dollars. ATMs are available after immigration, but the visa counter won't accept cards. Bring $30–35 in cash, preferably small bills.
Overstay fines add up fast
Overstaying even one day costs $10. If you're planning to stay longer than 30 days, get a business visa on arrival — it's extendable. Don't assume you can just pay the fine later.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At Phnom Penh (PNH), Siem Reap (REP), or Sihanoukville (KOS) airports, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' after baggage claim. At land borders like Poipet or Bavet, look for the visa office before the immigration booth.
2
Fill out the application form
Grab a form from the counter. Fill in your details — name, passport number, flight number, hotel address. Attach your passport photo. If you don't have a photo, they'll take one for about $2.
3
Submit and pay
Hand over your passport, completed form, and photo. Pay the fee in US dollars. Tourist visa is $30, business visa $35. They'll process it in 5–15 minutes.
4
Collect your passport with visa
Wait nearby. They'll call your name or hand it back. Check the visa sticker — make sure your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. Then proceed to immigration for entry stamp.

Frequently asked questions
No, the tourist visa on arrival (T-class) is not extendable. You must leave Cambodia before it expires. If you want to stay longer, apply for a business visa (E-class) on arrival — that one can be extended at the immigration office in Phnom Penh for up to 6 months.
The tourist visa (T-class) is valid for 30 days from the date of entry. The business visa (E-class) is also 30 days but can be extended. Overstaying costs $10 per day.
Yes, at major land border crossings like Poipet (from Thailand), Bavet (from Vietnam), and Cham Yeam (from Thailand). The process is the same as at airports — fill form, pay $30, get visa. Some smaller crossings may not offer visa on arrival, so check ahead.
No problem — the visa counter will take one for you for about $2. They'll add it to your form. Just have the cash ready.
Yes, you need proof of onward travel out of Cambodia. A bus ticket to Vietnam or Thailand works. If you're flying out, a flight booking is fine. Immigration rarely checks, but they can ask.
