Cambodia visa, e-visa, border crossings Cambodia Travel Guide by frizz restaurant Phnom Penh

To get into Cambodia is real easy. Visa's are now available at almost every entry point, whether you enter the country overland or by air. Note that visa's for neighbouring Vietnam and Laos are not available at the border crossings.

There's no need to apply for a visa at Cambodian embassies overseas. Generally that is much more expensive..

Visas can be obtained at the following points of entry:

Airports

Phnom Penh Airport
Siem Reap Airport

Cambodia-Vietnam border

Bavet
Kha Orm Sam Nor

Cambodia-Thailand border

Cham Yeam
Poi Pet
O’Smach

Application for an entry visa requires:

A completed visa application form
Passport valid at least 4 months
A recent photograph (4x6)
Appropriate visa fee
Supporting documents for business and official visas

Visa fees

USD20 for Tourist visa
USD25 for Business visa

Diplomatic, Official, Courtesy and Special (Cambodian national) visas are issued gratis.

In order to be admitted into the country, tourists need sufficient funds for their stay and a return ticket.

WARNING

Scams (border officials demanding extra money) occur at the overland border crossings. Keep smiling and refuse to pay extra! No problems at the airports.

E-visa

You can now also apply online for a so-called e-Visa. ONLY APPLY for an e-visa via the official government website.

There are a few other websites offering Cambodian e-visa, but they are fraudulent! (Most notably www.cambodiaonarrival.com, www.cambodiaevisa.com, and www.welovecambodia.com).

Visa extension

The tourist (T) and business (E) visas can be extended at the Immigration Department, National Police, but any travel agency will do it much quicker for a small fee. A tourist visa can be extended only once for up to one month (single entry). Overstayers will be fined USD 5 per day.
