Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply at evisa.gov.kh at least 3 business days before departure. The eVisa costs $30 USD, covers a single entry, and is valid for 90 days. Print two copies — immigration keeps one, and your hotel may ask for the other.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for 6 months beyond arrival | Your Slovenian passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the date you enter Cambodia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Immigration will ask for proof of departure | You need a flight out of Cambodia within your visa validity. Immigration officers at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap routinely ask for this. A bus or boat ticket to a neighboring country also works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel confirmation or host's address ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. A printed booking confirmation is safest. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely asks, but if you cannot show means to support yourself, they may deny entry. | Recommended |
E-visa alternative
If you want to skip the visa-on-arrival queue, apply for an e-visa online before you travel. It costs US$36, takes 3 business days, and you just show the PDF on your phone at immigration.
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa-on-arrival fee must be paid in US dollars cash. There are no ATMs before the visa counter. Bring US$30 in small bills — larger notes may be refused.
