Libyan passport holders can get a visa on arrival at all international airports and major land border crossings in Cambodia. This is the standard entry method for tourism and short business visits in 2026.
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 too. The queue can take 20–40 minutes depending on flight volume.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Cambodia enforces this strictly — airlines check it before boarding. No blank page requirement for visa on arrival, but having at least one free page helps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound travel proof | Immigration officers routinely ask for a flight out of Cambodia within 30 days. Budget airlines at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap check this before issuing a boarding pass. A bus or boat ticket to a neighboring country also works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have a printed or digital hotel confirmation ready. Immigration rarely asks for it, but the visa-on-arrival form asks for an address in Cambodia. A hostel booking or Airbnb confirmation covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial evidence | Carry at least $300–$500 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely checks this for visa-on-arrival entries, but the law requires you to show means of support if asked. | Recommended |
Cash only at visa counter
The visa-on-arrival counter accepts only US dollars cash. No credit cards, no Cambodian Riel. Have exact change if possible — officers rarely have change for $50 or $100 bills.
Overstay fines add up fast
Overstaying your visa costs $10 per day, and you'll be fined at immigration when you leave. If you plan to stay longer, get an extension before your visa expires.
What happens at the border
1
Fill out arrival card and visa application form
On the plane or at the airport, grab a Cambodia Arrival Card and a Visa Application Form. Fill in your passport details, flight info, and hotel address. Keep your passport photo ready to attach.
2
Go to the Visa on Arrival counter
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' (usually before immigration). Hand over your passport, completed form, photo, and $30 (tourism) or $35 (business). The officer will process it — takes 5–15 minutes depending on queue.
3
Collect your passport with visa sticker
Once called, check the visa sticker: name, passport number, dates, and visa type. If anything is wrong, ask for correction immediately.
4
Proceed to immigration
Join the immigration queue. Present your passport (with visa), arrival card, and boarding pass. The officer will stamp you in. Keep the departure card stub in your passport.
5
Baggage claim and customs
After immigration, collect your luggage. Customs is usually green channel (nothing to declare) unless you have large sums of cash or restricted items.
