Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Cambodia. Airlines check this before boarding — 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 return or onward ticket within your 30-day visa-free stay. Budget airlines flying into Phnom Penh or Siem Reap also check this before issuing your boarding pass. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host address | Have a printed or digital hotel confirmation ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying — having a booking speeds up the process and avoids extra questions. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $300 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need to prove you can cover your stay. | 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.
