Planning a trip to Cambodia? You won’t have to jump through too many hoops. Most travelers can get their visa either online or right when they land. Here’s how to make it quick and easy so you can focus on the fun stuff.
All nationalities, aside from a few Southeast Asian countries, require a tourist visa to enter Cambodia. The application process and timeline may differ by nationality, and some applicants may need to visit a visa center in person, possibly even in another city, to complete the process. In most cases, you can obtain a Tourist (T) Visa either online in advance or upon arrival at the airport.
We recommend applying online through the official government website, which costs $36 USD, is payable by credit card, and takes 3–5 business days to process. If you prefer to get your visa on arrival, you’ll need $35 USD in cash and should expect to wait up to an hour depending on airport traffic.
Generally, expect to provide the following:
Your Passport (valid for at least six months from the date of entry)
Visa Application Form and Photo
Itinerary Details (arrival and departure dates, places you’ll be visiting)
Additional documents may be required to support your application, so it’s best to confirm with your local visa center or embassy.
Photos are no longer required for arrivals at airports, though some land crossings may still ask for them and charge US$2–3 if you don’t have one.
A tourist visa can only be extended once, for one additional month, and does not permit re-entry. Keep in mind that overstaying your visa incurs a fee of $10 per day.
Visa extensions are processed at the immigration office near the Phnom Penh International Airport. It is recommended that you use a local travel agent to apply for visa extensions. They are familiar with the application requirements and can apply for you so you don’t need to travel to the immigration office. Travel agents throughout the country are able to do this for you.
