14 days is the maximum
Your visa-free stay is capped at 14 days. It's not extendable, so plan your trip accordingly. If you need more time, you'll have to leave and re-enter or apply for a visa in advance.
Passport validity is critical
Cambodia enforces the 6-month passport validity rule strictly. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding or entry. Check your passport's expiry date well before you travel.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at a Cambodian port of entry
You'll land at Phnom Penh International Airport, Siem Reap International Airport, or cross by land at a border checkpoint. Follow the signs to 'Arrivals' and then to 'Immigration'.
2
Join the immigration queue
There are separate lanes for Cambodian citizens and foreigners. Join the 'Foreigners' queue. Have your passport ready.
3
Present your passport to the officer
Hand over your passport. The officer will check your details, possibly ask about your stay (purpose, duration, where you're staying), and then stamp your passport. This usually takes a few minutes.
4
Collect your passport and proceed
Once stamped, you're free to enter Cambodia. Make sure you keep the entry stamp — you'll need it when you leave.
