Entry Visa Information

❗Important Visa Notes

• Be courteous and prepared to answer questions at immigration.

 

🛬  What Are the Entry Procedures?

Upon arrival, travelers must complete the immigration card, customs declaration, and health declaration (if required). Be detailed and accurate to avoid delays during immigration checks.

• Health Declarations: While Cambodia does not require health declarations, travelers returning from tropical regions should report symptoms of infectious diseases.
• On-Arrival Visa Applications: Ensure your documents are complete, including one passport-sized photo.

** Key Notes

1. If your passport expires or is lost, a new Cambodian visa must be issued.
2. Tourist visas must be used within 3 months of issuance and allow a 30-day stay upon entry.
3. For stays exceeding 30 days, extend your visa within the initial validity period to avoid penalties ($10/day for overstaying).
