Omani passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Cambodia. This is the standard entry method for tourism — no need to apply in advance. As of 2026, the process is straightforward at all international airports and major land borders.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Visa on arrival | You can get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports for $30 USD in cash. Or apply online at evisa.gov.kh for the same $30 fee — the eVisa lets you skip the visa-on-arrival queue. Processing takes 3 business days.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Cambodia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a flight out of Cambodia. Have a printed or digital copy of your onward ticket ready — they will check the date matches your visa validity. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host. Immigration rarely asks for it, but budget airlines sometimes check before letting you board. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Officers may ask to see $1,000 USD in cash or a bank statement showing sufficient funds. ATMs are widely available in cities, but carry some cash for the visa fee. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa fee must be paid in US dollars cash. ATMs are available after immigration, but not before. Bring $30–$35 in small bills to avoid issues.
Keep your arrival card
When you enter Cambodia, you'll receive an arrival card. Keep it with your passport — you'll need to hand it in when you leave the country.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration
At Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters. Also available at major land borders like Poipet and Bavet.
2
Fill out the application form
Pick up a visa application form at the counter or from airline staff. Fill in your details — passport info, flight number, accommodation address.

Submit documents and pay
Hand over your passport, completed form, and two passport-sized photos. Pay the fee in US dollars (cash only). As of 2026, the tourist visa costs $30.
4
Wait for processing
Processing takes about 15–30 minutes. You'll get a receipt and can wait nearby. Once ready, collect your passport with the visa sticker.
5
Proceed to passport control
Go to the immigration counter with your passport and visa. The officer will stamp you in. Keep the arrival card they give you — you'll need it when leaving.
