Most foreigners looking to enter Cambodia will need a visa. Expats from certain Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand, Brunei, Singapore and China, are eligible for visa-free entry to Cambodia for up to 30 days. Expats from other countries will need to apply for a single-entry visa for tourism or business purposes, depending on their reason for visiting Cambodia. This can either be done in advance or on arrival.
Visit visas for Cambodia
Visa T
Known as a Visa T, the standard Cambodian tourist visa is valid for three months and allows visitors a 30-day stay in Cambodia. For a longer stay, you can apply for a 30-day extension after entering the country.
If you wish to apply in advance, you can use Cambodia’s eVisa website. Alternatively, postal or in-person applications can be made at your local Cambodian embassy. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after your entry date into Cambodia.
Processing time for this visa is three to five business days, so it’s best to apply a week in advance.
