Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa or Visa on Arrival Choose your entry method | You can apply for an eVisa at evisa.gov.kh for $30 USD before travel, or get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports for the same price — bring cash USD and a passport photo. The eVisa is single-entry, valid for 90 days from issue, and lets you skip the visa-on-arrival queue.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Cambodia enforces the 6-month validity rule strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Your passport also needs at least one blank page for the visa sticker. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Immigration may ask for proof of departure | Carry a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking. Airlines at Changi Airport check this before issuing your boarding pass, and immigration officers at Phnom Penh occasionally ask. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration rarely asks, but having it printed avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or a credit card statement. Immigration rarely checks for visa-free visitors, but budget airlines may ask at check-in. | Recommended |
Check your passport expiry date now
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Cambodia. If it expires sooner, renew it before booking flights. Airlines check this at check-in.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Immigration officers sometimes ask for proof of onward travel. A screenshot on your phone or a printed copy is fine. Don't rely on mobile data — airport WiFi can be patchy.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Visa on Arrival' (you don't need a visa, so skip the visa counters). Join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your passport and boarding pass
Hand over your passport and boarding pass to the immigration officer. They will check your passport validity and may ask for your return ticket. Answer any questions clearly — 'tourism' or 'business' are typical reasons.
3
Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day visa-free entry. Check the stamp says '30 days' before walking away. If it shows fewer days, ask politely for correction.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs (usually green channel for nothing to declare). You're now free to enter Cambodia.
