Cash only at visa counter
The visa-on-arrival counter only accepts US dollars in cash. There are ATMs after immigration, but you need cash before. Bring $30–$40 in small bills ($1s, $5s, $10s).
E-visa option available
If you want to skip the queue, apply for an e-visa online at evisa.gov.kh. It costs $43 total and takes 3 business days. Print the approval and show it at immigration — no need to queue at the visa-on-arrival counter.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' before the main immigration queue. At land borders, look for the visa office before the passport control booth.

Submit documents and pay

4
Receive your visa and enter
