Uzbek passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Cambodia's international airports and major land borders. This is the simplest way to enter for tourism — no advance application needed. As of 2026, the process takes about 15–30 minutes.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville airports. Pay $30 USD in cash (bring exact change — ATMs are scarce before immigration). Have a passport photo ready; if you don't have one, they'll charge an extra $5. The visa is valid for 30 days, single entry.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date — Cambodia enforces this strictly. Airlines check this before boarding. No blank pages required beyond the visa page. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. If you're flying out to a neighboring country, a bus or ferry ticket may not be accepted — stick with a flight booking. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Immigration rarely asks for hotel bookings, but having a printed confirmation helps if questioned. If you're staying with friends, a simple invitation letter with their address works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Officers rarely check bank statements, but carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a credit card with a visible limit. ATMs in Cambodia charge high fees ($4–$5 per withdrawal). | Recommended |
Cash only at visa counter
The visa-on-arrival counter does not accept credit cards or mobile payments. Bring US dollars in small bills ($1s, $5s, $10s). ATMs are available after immigration but you'll need cash before that point.
Photo not essential but helpful
Most visa counters now take your photo digitally, so you don't strictly need a printed photo. But having one can save a few minutes if the digital system is slow or down.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the visa-on-arrival counter
After deplaning at Phnom Penh (PNH) or Siem Reap (SAI) airport, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' before passport control. At land borders like Poipet or Bavet, look for the visa office before the immigration booth.
2
Fill out the application form
Grab a visa application form from the counter. Fill in your details — name, passport number, flight number, hotel address. Keep it simple and legible.
3
Submit form, photo, and passport
Hand over your completed form, passport, and one photo (if you have one). The officer will process it — usually takes 5–10 minutes.
4
Pay the fee and collect your visa
Pay $30 (tourist) or $35 (business) in US dollars cash. You'll get a receipt and your passport back with the visa sticker inside. Then proceed to passport control.
5
Pass through immigration
Show your passport with the new visa to the immigration officer. They'll stamp you in. Keep the departure card they give you — you'll need it when leaving.
