Cambodia Visa Information

All foreign visitors are now allowed to obtain Cambodia tourist visa upon arrival at the airport. US citizens no longer need to have their visas stamped at the Embassy of Cambodia prior to the visit. All you need is the photocopy of your passport and 1 passport-size photograph. A visa fee of $20 should be paid directly to the Department of Immigration which is situated right across the Pochentong Airport in Phnompenh. Visas are also issued at Siemreap Airport in the Angkor Wat Region. Immigration is also mandated to charge departure tax on all domestic and international flights.

Still, US citizens who are planning to visit Cambodia may do the application prior to the trip. They can apply in person at the Embassy of Cambodia located at 4530 16th Street NW, Washington, DC 20011. Visa application requires a passport-size photograph and a passport that has a 6-month validity covering the date of entry to Cambodia. You can also apply through an expediting service for speed and/or convenience. Click the link to apply for your Cambodia Visa online.

Cambodia visa is valid up to 30 days from the date of issue. This must not be misconstrued with the date of entry. If visitors wish to extend their visa, it can also be arranged at the Immigration. Visas, however, may only be extended for up to 30 days and will cost $25. Cambodian immigration strictly implements overstaying fines on an expired visa. If the overstay is 30 days or less, there will be a $5 penalty per day. If overstay is longer than 30 days, the rate will be $6. It has to be noted that Cambodia visa is only given as single entry visa. If the travel requires two entries, the second entry should also be obtained upon arrival.

US citizens who will be visiting or residing in Cambodia are encouraged to register with the US Embassy in the country located at No. 1 Street 96 (near Wat Phnom), Phnom Penh, Cambodia. They may also visit the State Department’s travel registration website to do so and to obtain travel advisories in the Cambodian borders.

To obtain Cambodia tourist visa, applicants should submit their US passport valid until 3 months beyond the duration of stay; a fully accomplished and signed visa application form; recent passport-size photograph; and a copy of the applicant’s travel itinerary.

For business visa, passport requirement should be up to 6-month validity. Other documents needed for processing include the visa application form, recent passport-size photograph, travel itinerary and a business letter of financial responsibility typewritten on the company’s official letterhead. The letter should be addressed to the Embassy of Cambodia, Visa Section, Washington, DC.
