Mozambican passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Cambodia. The process is straightforward at major airports and land borders. As of 2026, you'll need a valid passport, a recent passport-sized photo, and cash for the visa fee.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports. Bring $30 USD in cash for the tourist visa (single entry, 30 days). Have a passport photo ready — if you don't have one, they'll charge an extra $2–$5. The eVisa at evisa.gov.kh ($30 USD) is also an option if you want to skip the arrival queue.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Cambodia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers ask for proof of onward travel — a return flight or a ticket to your next destination. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. Budget airlines flying into Cambodia are strict about this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Officers rarely ask for a hotel booking, but having one printed or on your phone avoids delays. If you're staying with friends, a simple invitation letter with their address works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | You won't be asked to show bank statements at immigration, but carry at least $300–$500 USD in cash or have a card with available credit. Cambodia is cash-heavy — USD is widely accepted alongside the riel. | Recommended |
Cash Only — No Cards
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in US dollars cash. ATMs are available after immigration, but you won't have access before paying. Bring $30–$35 USD in small bills (no ripped or old notes).
Photo Tip
If you forget a passport photo, most airports have a photo booth near the visa counter for about $2–$5 USD. But it's one less thing to worry about if you bring your own.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare Documents Before You Fly
Make sure your passport has 6+ months validity and at least one blank page. Print or save a copy of your return ticket and hotel booking. Get a passport photo (4x6 cm, white background). Bring $30–$35 USD cash in small bills.
2
Fill Out the Arrival Card
On the plane or at the border, you'll receive a Cambodia arrival card and visa application form. Fill it out in capital letters. You'll need your passport number, flight details, and hotel address.
3
Queue at the Visa on Arrival Counter
At Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival'. Hand over your passport, completed form, photo, and fee. The officer will process it — usually takes 5–15 minutes.
4
Collect Your Passport with Visa Sticker
Once processed, you'll get your passport back with a visa sticker inside. Check the validity dates and your name spelling before leaving the counter.
5
Proceed to Immigration
Take your passport with the new visa to the immigration officer. They'll stamp you in. Keep the arrival card stub — you'll need it when you leave Cambodia.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, tourist visas can be extended once for an additional 30 days. You'll need to visit the Immigration Department in Phnom Penh or use a visa agency. The cost is around $45–$60 USD. Ordinary visas can be extended for longer periods.
Most major airports (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville) have photo booths near the visa counter. They cost about $2–$5 USD. But it's easier and cheaper to bring your own.
Yes, you still need proof of onward travel. A bus or train ticket to a neighboring country works, but a flight booking is the safest option. Immigration may ask for it.

A tourist visa on arrival allows a stay of up to 30 days. An ordinary visa also allows 30 days but can be extended more easily for business or longer stays. Overstaying costs $10 USD per day.
Yes, Cambodia offers an e-visa for many nationalities, but Mozambican passport holders are not currently eligible. You must use the visa on arrival or apply for a visa at a Cambodian embassy before travel.
