What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Cambodian Immigration
At Phnom Penh (PNH), Siem Reap (REP), or Sihanoukville (KOS) airports, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' before passport control. At land borders like Poipet or Bavet, look for the visa counter before the immigration booth.
2
Fill Out the Application Form
Pick up a visa application form at the counter. Fill it in with your passport details, flight info, and accommodation. Keep it simple — no need for fancy handwriting.
3
Submit Documents and Pay
Hand over your passport, completed form, passport photo (if you have one), and $30 cash. The officer will process it. Wait nearby — it usually takes 5-15 minutes.
4
Receive Your Visa Sticker
The officer will stamp the visa sticker into your passport. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct before walking away.
5
Proceed to Passport Control
Go to the immigration counter with your passport and the visa sticker. The officer will stamp you in. Keep the arrival card they give you — you'll need it when you leave.

Frequently asked questions
The tourist visa on arrival costs $30 USD. The business visa is $35 USD. Pay in cash — US dollars are widely accepted. Cambodian Riel is also accepted but USD is simpler.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you'll have to leave the country and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before travel (like an e-visa or visa from a Cambodian embassy).
The visa on arrival is typically valid for 30 days. The exact duration will be stamped in your passport at immigration. Overstaying incurs a fine of $10 per day.
You can still get the visa. The immigration officer may take your photo at the counter or ask you to get one taken at a nearby photo booth (usually available at airports for a small fee, around $1-2).

Yes, you need proof of onward travel. A bus ticket to Vietnam, Thailand, or Laos works. If you're flying out, a flight booking is fine. Immigration wants to see you're not staying indefinitely.
