Ukrainian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Cambodia. This is the standard way to enter for tourism — no need to apply in advance. As of 2026, the process is straightforward at all major entry points.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa or Visa on Arrival Visa on arrival or eVisa | You can get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports for $30 USD in cash. Or apply online at evisa.gov.kh for $30 USD — the eVisa is single-entry, valid for 30 days, and processed within 3 business days. Either way, bring a recent passport photo.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for 6 months beyond arrival | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry into Cambodia. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers ask for a confirmed onward ticket when you apply for the visa on arrival. A flight out of Cambodia within 30 days works. If you are flying in on a one-way ticket, buy a cheap onward ticket from a site like OnwardTicket before you arrive. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host address | Have your hotel confirmation or host's address ready — immigration may ask for it during the visa on arrival process. A printed booking confirmation or a screenshot on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Carry at least $300 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely checks this for visa on arrival, but having cash avoids problems if they ask. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa fee must be paid in US dollars cash. No credit cards, no Cambodian Riel. Bring crisp, undamaged bills — torn or marked notes may be refused.
Photo requirement
You need one passport-sized photo (4x6 cm). If you forget, there are photo booths at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports, but they can have queues. Bring your own to save time.
What happens at the border
1
Fill out forms on the plane
You'll receive an arrival card and a visa application form from the flight attendants. Fill them out in capital letters before landing. Keep your passport and pen ready.
2
Go to the Visa on Arrival counter
After disembarking, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' (not the immigration queue for e-visa holders). At Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports, the counters are clearly marked. Hand over your passport, completed form, photo, and cash.
3
Wait and collect your passport
The officer will process your visa — usually takes 5–15 minutes. They'll stamp the visa into your passport and return it. Then proceed to the immigration line for entry.
4
Show your onward ticket if asked
At immigration, the officer may ask for your return or onward ticket. Have it ready on your phone. They rarely ask, but it's better to be prepared.
