ASEAN countries, such as Vietnam, Malaysia or Singapore, are eligible for visa exemptions in Cambodia. You can enter Cambodia without a visa if your passport is from one of these countries.
Visa exemptions allow you 14 to 30 days in Cambodia without a visa, though the duration varies for each country. Check the full list of visa exemptions to see how long your nationality can stay in Cambodia with a visa exemption.
Visa on Arrival for Cambodia
You can get a visa on arrival (VOA) at Phnom Penh International Airport, Siem Reap International Airport, and land border crossings. Most countries are eligible for Cambodia VOA, but you can confirm that you’re country is included here. For this, you will need to show proof of vaccination and have a printout of your passport, with 6 months of validity with 2 blank pages in your passport.
If you choose to get a visa on arrival, expect to queue and wait at immigration while your visa is approved.

How to Apply for E-Visa to Visit Cambodia
We applied for an e-visa for our trip to Cambodia, which was seamless and enabled us to pass through immigration quickly. Over 200 countries are eligible for an e-visa to enter Cambodia, but confirm that your country can apply for an e-visa here.
To apply for the e-visa to visit Cambodia, you need to submit proof of the following:
✅ Proof of
vaccination (it can be a certificate, card or a photo of an app confirming you have received 2 vaccinations) ✅ Proof of health/travel insurance that covers you for COVID-related treatment in Cambodia

Our e-visa for Cambodia was approved in 2 days, though the website suggests it can take up to 4 days. Make sure you print 2 copies of your e-visa – one for immigration on arrival and one for when you depart Cambodia.
Having a pre-approved e-visa meant that on arrival in Cambodia, we went through immigration in a matter of minutes. We did have to show proof of our vaccinations, and while we had our vaccine records printed, showing them our foreign app was sufficient. All in all, a super painless experience!
