Go to arrival.gov.kh up to 7 days before your flight. Complete the form, get your QR code, and save it on your phone. This replaces the paper arrival card and speeds up the queue.

Queue at the Visa on Arrival counter
After deplaning at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival'. Hand over your passport, photo, and US$30. The officer will process your visa and give you a receipt.
