Cambodia Visa Information

Application for a Cambodia visa can be made at the Embassy of Cambodia, a Cambodian Consulate, online via their e-visa service or through a expedited visa courier service prior to departure from the U.S. All you need is a valid passport and a passport-size photograph. U.S. citizens can also obtain a tourist visa to Cambodia upon arrival. A visa fee of $30 (tourist) or $35(business) 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 and other border crossings.

Those who prefer to get a visa before leaving the U.S. can visit the Embassy of Cambodia located at 4530 16th Street NW, Washington, DC 20011. Visa application requires you possess a passport with at least 6-month validity covering the date of entry to Cambodia. You can also apply through an expediting service for speed and/or convenience. Travelers who are unable to visit the embassy can apply through a professional visa application expediter.

The 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. 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.
