VISAS ON ARRIVAL
The following visa classes are available on arrival for citizens of previously approved countries: T-visas (tourist visas), E-class “ordinary” visas, and EB, EG, ER, or ES extensions of stay (EOS), A-class diplomatic visas, B-class, C-class visas, and K-class visas.
VISAS FROM WORLDWIDE CAMBODIAN EMBASSIES:
Visas in advance are available from Cambodian embassies but will require supporting documentation that is not usually required for visas on arrival, and what is required varies from embassy to embassy. The standard requirement is your passport, passport photos, evidence of health insurance coverage, and a letter of invitation from a registered Cambodian business or school (stamped, of course). There’s a letter template posted in the Cambodia Visa and Work Permit Group on Facebook. While you’re there, search for your nearest embassy to find out what evidence they are requiring.
ONLINE VISAS:
Tourist visas (T-visas) are also available online, in advance. The cost is $30 plus a $6 processing fee, with a 3-day processing time. The visa is a 30-day visa valid for 90 days (meaning you must enter Cambodia within 90 days of the visa being issued, but can only stay for 30 days). Tourists can apply in advance for a 30-day visa on the official site, evisa.gov.kh. Unofficial sites charge more.
CAMBODIA E-ARRIVAL FORMS:
Cambodia requires travelers to complete a Customs and Immigration form before or upon arrival in the country. In this digital era, Cambodia is transitioning to an electronic form called the Cambodia E-Arrival, which visitors can complete before arrival via the app/website, or by scanning a QR code at the airport of departure.
– The Cambodia e-Arrival is currently available only for arrivals at: Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, Phnom Penh Techo International Airport, and Sihanoukville International Airport. For land border crossings, traditional paper forms will be used.
– The Cambodia e-Arrival form can be completed via the official website https://arrival.gov.kh/ or via the QR codes available at the airports upon arrival.
– The E-form must be filled out within 7 days before arrival or on arrival at the airport (however, we strongly recommend completing it in advance to avoid waiting time at the airport).
CAMBODIA V-PASS:
From 1 January 2026, Cambodia will implement V-Pass, a digital immigration system replacing passport stamps. No physical stamp or sticker will be added to passports.
All international travelers arriving at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap Angkor, Sihanoukville International Airports, and Sihanoukville International Pier must complete the Cambodia e-Arrival Card before or upon arrival and provide a valid email address. After passport screening, a V-Pass QR code will be sent automatically to the traveler’s email and can also be accessed via the e-Arrival website or app.
Please note that standalone e-Arrival assistance is no longer available; e-Arrival and Fast Track services must be purchased together (visa fee optional). The V-Pass service fee is USD 2 per person.
