All you need to know about getting a visa to Cambodia

Mar 22, 2022 • 4 min read

Cambodia is currently one of the most open and visitor-friendly countries in Southeast Asia following COVID-19 travel restrictions.

As of 17 March 2022, visa-on-arrival has been reinstated for most visitors and all COVID-19 travel-related testing requirements have been lifted.

Do I need a visa to visit Cambodia?

The simple answer is yes: most nationalities need a visa to enter the Kingdom of Cambodia, including citizens of Australia, the European Union, the UK and the US. The main exceptions are citizens from the Association of Southeast Asian (ASEAN) neighbors who are granted visa-free access; these countries include Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. Some other Asian nationalities, including Japan and South Korea, may also enter Cambodia without a visa in most circumstances. Citizens of Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka and Sudan need to make advance arrangements for a Cambodian visa.

A 1-month tourist visa costs US$30; easily extendable business visas cost US$35. Online tourist e-visas cost US$36, which includes a US$6 processing charge.

Do I need a photograph?

Photos are no longer required with visas for those arriving at airports, although some land crossings still require them and charge US$2–3 if you do not have one.

What about visas during the time of COVID-19?

Cambodia suspended its visa-on-arrival program in June 2020 but made the bold decision to reinstate it with immediate effect from 17 March 2022. It is also possible to apply for a Cambodian e-visa online .

It is also possible to apply for longer-stay visas at Cambodian embassies around the world . 

What you need to know when for applying for a Cambodian visa

  • Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your planned entry or you won’t be allowed to enter the country.
  • Cambodian visas take up an entire passport page – unless you are entering on a tourist e-visa, which takes up about a quarter-page.

Are there any special entry requirements related to COVID-19?

Cambodia blew the doors off quarantined Southeast Asia on November 15, 2021, when the government announced an unexpected total reopening for fully vaccinated travelers. Some pre-departure and arrival testing remained in place until recently but the requirement for COVID-19 travel testing was lifted in a bold move towards normality from March 2022. Visitors are free to travel anywhere in Cambodia without the need to quarantine and there are no curfews in place anywhere in the country.

Unvaccinated travelers are still required to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in a pre-booked hotel or a designated government facility. 

Can I extend my Cambodian visa?

Those seeking work in Cambodia should opt for a business visa, as it is easily extendable for longer periods, including multiple entries and exits. A tourist visa can be extended only once and only for 1 month and does not allow for re-entry. Overstaying a visa currently costs US$10 a day.

Visa extensions are issued at the large immigration office located directly across the road from Phnom Penh International Airport. Extensions are easy to arrange, taking just a couple of days. The cost is US$45 for 1 month (for both tourist and business visas), US$75 for 3 months, US$155 for 6 months and US$285 for 1 year. Some hotels and travel agents in Phnom Penh can help with arrangements for a small fee.

Where can I enter Cambodia?

Cambodia has three international gateways for arrival by air – Phnom Penh , Siem Reap and Sihanoukville – and a large number of land borders with neighboring Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. Formalities at Cambodia’s international airports are generally smooth.

Crossing at land borders is usually easy as well, though immigration officers may try to extract some extra cash, either for the visa itself or via some other scam. Crossing from Thailand, immigration officials may demand payment in baht and round up the exchange rate considerably in their favor. Overcharging is also an issue at the Laos border, but not usually a problem at Vietnam borders. Arranging an e-visa in advance can help avoid any hassles or surcharges.

Departure from Cambodia during COVID-19

You do not need a PCR test to leave Cambodia, though you should check whether a “Fit-to-Fly” PCR test or rapid antigen is required for your onward stop, whether a stay in another country, transit through another country or return to your home country.

There are currently COVID-19 testing labs in several cities around Cambodia, including multiple testing labs in Phnom Penh, one lab in Siem Reap, one lab in Sihanoukville and one lab in Battambang . In practice, it is easiest to work with the labs in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, so we recommend making one of these cities your departure destination from Cambodia if a Fit-to-Fly certificate is required.

CDC recommends that travelers going to certain areas of Cambodia take prescription medicine to prevent malaria. Depending on the medicine you take, you will need to start taking this medicine multiple days before your trip, as well as during and after your trip. Talk to your doctor about which malaria medication you should take.

Find  country-specific information  about malaria.

Malaria - CDC Yellow Book

Malaria information for Cambodia.

Cases of measles are on the rise worldwide. Travelers are at risk of measles if they have not been fully vaccinated at least two weeks prior to departure, or have not had measles in the past, and travel internationally to areas where measles is spreading.

All international travelers should be fully vaccinated against measles with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, including an early dose for infants 6–11 months, according to  CDC’s measles vaccination recommendations for international travel .

Measles (Rubeola) - CDC Yellow Book

Rabid dogs are commonly found in Cambodia. However, if you are bitten or scratched by a dog or other mammal while in Cambodia, rabies treatment is often available. 

Consider rabies vaccination before your trip if your activities mean you will be around dogs or wildlife.

Travelers more likely to encounter rabid animals include

  • Campers, adventure travelers, or cave explorers (spelunkers)
  • Veterinarians, animal handlers, field biologists, or laboratory workers handling animal specimens
  • Visitors to rural areas

Since children are more likely to be bitten or scratched by a dog or other animals, consider rabies vaccination for children traveling to Cambodia. 

Rabies - CDC Yellow Book

Recommended for most travelers, especially those staying with friends or relatives or visiting smaller cities or rural areas.

Typhoid - CDC Yellow Book

Dosing info - Typhoid

Learn actions you can take to stay healthy and safe on your trip. Vaccines cannot protect you from many diseases in Cambodia, so your behaviors are important.

Eat and drink safely

Food and water standards around the world vary based on the destination. Standards may also differ within a country and risk may change depending on activity type (e.g., hiking versus business trip). You can learn more about safe food and drink choices when traveling by accessing the resources below.

  • Choose Safe Food and Drinks When Traveling
  • Water Treatment Options When Hiking, Camping or Traveling
  • Global Water, Sanitation and Hygiene | Healthy Water
  • Avoid Contaminated Water During Travel

You can also visit the Department of State Country Information Pages for additional information about food and water safety.

Prevent bug bites

Bugs (like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) can spread a number of diseases in Cambodia. Many of these diseases cannot be prevented with a vaccine or medicine. You can reduce your risk by taking steps to prevent bug bites.

What can I do to prevent bug bites?

  • Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats.
  • Use an appropriate insect repellent (see below).
  • Use permethrin-treated clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks, and tents). Do not use permethrin directly on skin.
  • Stay and sleep in air-conditioned or screened rooms.
  • Use a bed net if the area where you are sleeping is exposed to the outdoors.

What type of insect repellent should I use?

  • FOR PROTECTION AGAINST TICKS AND MOSQUITOES: Use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET for protection that lasts up to several hours.
  • Picaridin (also known as KBR 3023, Bayrepel, and icaridin)
  • Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or para-menthane-diol (PMD)
  • 2-undecanone
  • Always use insect repellent as directed.

What should I do if I am bitten by bugs?

  • Avoid scratching bug bites, and apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to reduce the itching.
  • Check your entire body for ticks after outdoor activity. Be sure to remove ticks properly.

What can I do to avoid bed bugs?

Although bed bugs do not carry disease, they are an annoyance. See our information page about avoiding bug bites for some easy tips to avoid them. For more information on bed bugs, see Bed Bugs .

For more detailed information on avoiding bug bites, see Avoid Bug Bites .

Stay safe outdoors

If your travel plans in Cambodia include outdoor activities, take these steps to stay safe and healthy during your trip.

  • Stay alert to changing weather conditions and adjust your plans if conditions become unsafe.
  • Prepare for activities by wearing the right clothes and packing protective items, such as bug spray, sunscreen, and a basic first aid kit.
  • Consider learning basic first aid and CPR before travel. Bring a travel health kit with items appropriate for your activities.
  • If you are outside for many hours in heat, eat salty snacks and drink water to stay hydrated and replace salt lost through sweating.
  • Protect yourself from UV radiation : use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, wear protective clothing, and seek shade during the hottest time of day (10 a.m.–4 p.m.).
  • Be especially careful during summer months and at high elevation. Because sunlight reflects off snow, sand, and water, sun exposure may be increased during activities like skiing, swimming, and sailing.
  • Very cold temperatures can be dangerous. Dress in layers and cover heads, hands, and feet properly if you are visiting a cold location.

Stay safe around water

  • Swim only in designated swimming areas. Obey lifeguards and warning flags on beaches.
  • Practice safe boating—follow all boating safety laws, do not drink alcohol if driving a boat, and always wear a life jacket.
  • Do not dive into shallow water.
  • Do not swim in freshwater in developing areas or where sanitation is poor.
  • Avoid swallowing water when swimming. Untreated water can carry germs that make you sick.
  • To prevent infections, wear shoes on beaches where there may be animal waste.

Schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection that can be spread in fresh water, is found in Cambodia. Avoid swimming in fresh, unchlorinated water, such as lakes, ponds, or rivers.

Keep away from animals

Most animals avoid people, but they may attack if they feel threatened, are protecting their young or territory, or if they are injured or ill. Animal bites and scratches can lead to serious diseases such as rabies.

Follow these tips to protect yourself:

  • Do not touch or feed any animals you do not know.
  • Do not allow animals to lick open wounds, and do not get animal saliva in your eyes or mouth.
  • Avoid rodents and their urine and feces.
  • Traveling pets should be supervised closely and not allowed to come in contact with local animals.
  • If you wake in a room with a bat, seek medical care immediately. Bat bites may be hard to see.

All animals can pose a threat, but be extra careful around dogs, bats, monkeys, sea animals such as jellyfish, and snakes. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal, immediately:

  • Wash the wound with soap and clean water.
  • Go to a doctor right away.
  • Tell your doctor about your injury when you get back to the United States.

Consider buying medical evacuation insurance. Rabies is a deadly disease that must be treated quickly, and treatment may not be available in some countries.

Reduce your exposure to germs

Follow these tips to avoid getting sick or spreading illness to others while traveling:

  • Wash your hands often, especially before eating.
  • If soap and water aren’t available, clean hands with hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol).
  • Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you need to touch your face, make sure your hands are clean.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
  • Try to avoid contact with people who are sick.
  • If you are sick, stay home or in your hotel room, unless you need medical care.

Avoid sharing body fluids

Diseases can be spread through body fluids, such as saliva, blood, vomit, and semen.

Protect yourself:

  • Use latex condoms correctly.
  • Do not inject drugs.
  • Limit alcohol consumption. People take more risks when intoxicated.
  • Do not share needles or any devices that can break the skin. That includes needles for tattoos, piercings, and acupuncture.
  • If you receive medical or dental care, make sure the equipment is disinfected or sanitized.

Know how to get medical care while traveling

Plan for how you will get health care during your trip, should the need arise:

  • Carry a list of local doctors and hospitals at your destination.
  • Review your health insurance plan to determine what medical services it would cover during your trip. Consider purchasing travel health and medical evacuation insurance.
  • Carry a card that identifies, in the local language, your blood type, chronic conditions or serious allergies, and the generic names of any medications you take.
  • Some prescription drugs may be illegal in other countries. Call Cambodia’s embassy to verify that all of your prescription(s) are legal to bring with you.
  • Bring all the medicines (including over-the-counter medicines) you think you might need during your trip, including extra in case of travel delays. Ask your doctor to help you get prescriptions filled early if you need to.

Many foreign hospitals and clinics are accredited by the Joint Commission International. A list of accredited facilities is available at their website ( www.jointcommissioninternational.org ).

In some countries, medicine (prescription and over-the-counter) may be substandard or counterfeit. Bring the medicines you will need from the United States to avoid having to buy them at your destination.

Malaria is a risk in some parts of Cambodia. If you are going to a risk area, fill your malaria prescription before you leave, and take enough with you for the entire length of your trip. Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking the pills; some need to be started before you leave.

Select safe transportation

Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of healthy US citizens in foreign countries.

In many places cars, buses, large trucks, rickshaws, bikes, people on foot, and even animals share the same lanes of traffic, increasing the risk for crashes.

Be smart when you are traveling on foot.

  • Use sidewalks and marked crosswalks.
  • Pay attention to the traffic around you, especially in crowded areas.
  • Remember, people on foot do not always have the right of way in other countries.

Riding/Driving

Choose a safe vehicle.

  • Choose official taxis or public transportation, such as trains and buses.
  • Ride only in cars that have seatbelts.
  • Avoid overcrowded, overloaded, top-heavy buses and minivans.
  • Avoid riding on motorcycles or motorbikes, especially motorbike taxis. (Many crashes are caused by inexperienced motorbike drivers.)
  • Choose newer vehicles—they may have more safety features, such as airbags, and be more reliable.
  • Choose larger vehicles, which may provide more protection in crashes.

Think about the driver.

  • Do not drive after drinking alcohol or ride with someone who has been drinking.
  • Consider hiring a licensed, trained driver familiar with the area.
  • Arrange payment before departing.

Follow basic safety tips.

  • Wear a seatbelt at all times.
  • Sit in the back seat of cars and taxis.
  • When on motorbikes or bicycles, always wear a helmet. (Bring a helmet from home, if needed.)
  • Avoid driving at night; street lighting in certain parts of Cambodia may be poor.
  • Do not use a cell phone or text while driving (illegal in many countries).
  • Travel during daylight hours only, especially in rural areas.
  • If you choose to drive a vehicle in Cambodia, learn the local traffic laws and have the proper paperwork.
  • Get any driving permits and insurance you may need. Get an International Driving Permit (IDP). Carry the IDP and a US-issued driver's license at all times.
  • Check with your auto insurance policy's international coverage, and get more coverage if needed. Make sure you have liability insurance.
  • Avoid using local, unscheduled aircraft.
  • If possible, fly on larger planes (more than 30 seats); larger airplanes are more likely to have regular safety inspections.
  • Try to schedule flights during daylight hours and in good weather.

Medical Evacuation Insurance

If you are seriously injured, emergency care may not be available or may not meet US standards. Trauma care centers are uncommon outside urban areas. Having medical evacuation insurance can be helpful for these reasons.

Helpful Resources

Road Safety Overseas (Information from the US Department of State): Includes tips on driving in other countries, International Driving Permits, auto insurance, and other resources.

The Association for International Road Travel has country-specific Road Travel Reports available for most countries for a minimal fee.

Maintain personal security

Use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home, and always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Before you leave

  • Research your destination(s), including local laws, customs, and culture.
  • Monitor travel advisories and alerts and read travel tips from the US Department of State.
  • Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) .
  • Leave a copy of your itinerary, contact information, credit cards, and passport with someone at home.
  • Pack as light as possible, and leave at home any item you could not replace.

While at your destination(s)

  • Carry contact information for the nearest US embassy or consulate .
  • Carry a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp; leave the actual passport securely in your hotel.
  • Follow all local laws and social customs.
  • Do not wear expensive clothing or jewelry.
  • Always keep hotel doors locked, and store valuables in secure areas.
  • If possible, choose hotel rooms between the 2nd and 6th floors.

Use the Healthy Travel Packing List for Cambodia for a list of health-related items to consider packing for your trip. Talk to your doctor about which items are most important for you.

Why does CDC recommend packing these health-related items?

It’s best to be prepared to prevent and treat common illnesses and injuries. Some supplies and medicines may be difficult to find at your destination, may have different names, or may have different ingredients than what you normally use.

If you are not feeling well after your trip, you may need to see a doctor. If you need help finding a travel medicine specialist, see Find a Clinic . Be sure to tell your doctor about your travel, including where you went and what you did on your trip. Also tell your doctor if you were bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling.

If your doctor prescribed antimalarial medicine for your trip, keep taking the rest of your pills after you return home. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, you could still get sick.

Malaria is always a serious disease and may be a deadly illness. If you become ill with a fever either while traveling in a malaria-risk area or after you return home (for up to 1 year), you should seek immediate medical attention and should tell the doctor about your travel history.

For more information on what to do if you are sick after your trip, see Getting Sick after Travel .

Entry Requirements for Cambodia

Thinking of visiting Cambodia? Knowing the various entry rules and requirements is crucial when planning a trip to this vibrant Kingdom. Our guide is designed to provide comprehensive information on important travel questions, such as necessary documents, health requirements, local laws, and customs, to ensure your journey is enjoyable and stress-free.

Yes, US citizens can currently travel to Cambodia. Like other travelers, they must meet specific requirements, such as obtaining an appropriate visa.

US citizens' primary documents to travel to Cambodia are a valid passport and a valid Cambodian visa. The type of visa required depends on the purpose and duration of the intended stay in the country. For short-term travel, you'll need either a tourist visa (Type-T) or a business visa (Type-E). The Cambodia eVisa is likely your best option.

No. All travelers to Cambodia, including US citizens, must have a valid passport. The passport validity requirement is at least six months from the entry date. You should have at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps.

While a visa on arrival is available for citizens of some countries, lines are long, and these visas are only available at limited entry points. It’s recommended that US citizens apply for an eVisa before their arrival in Cambodia to avoid long queues and potential delays at the border.

Travelers from less than 10 nationalities, primarily members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), can travel to Cambodia for up to 30 days without a visa. This includes Brunei, Darussalam, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

US citizens and foreign nationals from around 220 other countries and territories can apply online for a Cambodia eVisa. This involves a simple online form that you fill out with basic personal information, passport details, and an email address for correspondence where the eVisa certificate will be sent.

This eVisa is valid for entry to Cambodia through select ports of entry, including Phnom Penh International Airport, Siem Reap International Airport, and Preah Sihanouk International Airport. An eVisa is only accepted at limited land border crossings.

Travelers must print two copies of the eVisa certificate to present to local authorities in Cambodia.

The online eVisa application is recommended for short-term travel. Travelers can apply online for tourist visas and business visas. Other types of visa applications must be made through the Royal Embassy of Cambodia, either by mail or in person. Embassy officials will issue the appropriate sticker visa attached to your passport.

The Cambodian government's eVisa application fees for US citizens are $36 for tourist visas (Type-T) and $42 for business visas (Type-E). The fee for sticker visas issued through the Royal Embassy of Cambodia varies based on the specific visa required.

The Cambodian tourist (Type-T) eVisa is valid for travel within 90 days from the date of issue and allows a maximum stay of 30 days. This visa can be extended within the country for another 30 days at the Cambodia Immigration Office . The Cambodian tourist eVisa is a single-entry visa. If you wish to return to Cambodia, you must apply for a new one.

Are you traveling to Cambodia on business? If so, you must obtain a Business (Type-E) Visa through the online portal or the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Washington, DC. The Business Type-E visa is also valid for travel within 90 days and stays up to 30 days. It can be extended at the Cambodia Immigration Office.

Overstaying your visa in Cambodia will result in a fine of $10 per day overstayed. Travelers considered excessive overstays may be arrested for violating immigration laws and detained while undergoing official deportation proceedings at their own expense. Deportation from Cambodia may result in your being prohibited from reentering Cambodia. It is advised to always comply with the visa conditions and departure date to avoid penalties.

You will be issued an entry/exit form and a customs declaration form by your carrier or at the airport, which you must complete on arrival in Cambodia. You should keep the exit form secure as you will need it to present it to border officials before you can leave the country.

Once approved, travelers must print out two copies of the eVisa certificate and bring those copies with them to present to officials when entering and exiting Cambodia.

Visitors should be aware of the health requirements for Cambodia, including vaccinations, prescriptions, medical records, and COVID-19-related guidelines.

Medical facilities

Cambodia lacks international-standard medical facilities and services. A limited number of international clinics and hospitals in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap can provide primary medical care and stabilization. Aside from these major cities, medical care in rural areas of Cambodia is virtually nonexistent.

Medical insurance

Travelers are strongly urged to check that their travel insurance or health insurance coverage includes emergency medical evacuation should it be necessary.

Vaccinations

While no specific vaccinations are required to enter Cambodia, it's recommended to be up-to-date on routine vaccines. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has specific traveler recommendations for the country.

Prescriptions

If you're traveling with prescription medication, you should ensure it's in its original packaging, clearly labeled, and accompanied by a doctor’s note. Some prescription drugs, particularly psychotropic drugs or drugs containing narcotics, may be controlled substances or illegal in Cambodia. Local law applies stiff penalties for possessing illegal drugs. Travelers should check with the Cambodian government before traveling with these prescriptions.

Over-the-counter and prescription medications are limited at local pharmacies. You should bring enough medication for your stay in Cambodia since local medications can vary significantly in quality. It is not advised to buy medications from local pharmacies. Falsified medications are readily available, indistinguishable from authentic medications, and can be deadly.

Medical records

Medical records are not typically required for entry into Cambodia, but it’s a good idea to have copies of any pertinent medical information, particularly if you have ongoing health conditions.

The CDC recommends that all international travelers be up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations before traveling abroad. Health screenings are in place at points of entry, including airports and land-border crossings.

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience, we've compiled a list of FAQs on Cambodia travel requirements.

Do I need to wear a mask in Cambodia?

As of April 2023, Cambodia no longer requires mask-wearing or rapid testing at large gatherings to prevent COVID-19. Masks can be worn voluntarily, which may be recommended in crowded situations.

Are the restaurants and bars open in Cambodia?

Yes, Cambodian restaurants and bars are open.

Will my phone work in Cambodia?

Mobile phones from most US-based carriers work in Cambodia but may require an international plan. Contact your carrier for specific service coverage and text, voice, and data roaming rates. Travelers with unlocked phones can buy a Cambodian SIM card while traveling to save roaming costs. Though available from various vendors, obtaining a Cambodian SIM directly from a local mobile provider is recommended.

What kind of plugs do I need in Cambodia?

You may find any one of three plug types in Cambodia: A, C, and G. Plug type A is the plug that has two flat parallel pins (as commonly found in the US). Plug type C has two round pins (as commonly found in Europe). Plug type G has three rectangular pins in a triangular pattern (as commonly found in the UK). US travelers should pack an international travel adaptor to accommodate this variety of pins.

Cambodia operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz. Travelers wanting to operate electronic devices and appliances that do not support dual voltage should pack a power converter.

What should I wear in Cambodia?

Modest dress is recommended in Cambodia, especially when visiting religious sites and ruins. Opt for loose clothing that covers the body and adapts to the heat. Always wear long pants or long skirts and ensure you cover your shoulders. Packing a scarf to cover yourself as needed is recommended.

Can I smoke or drink alcohol in public in Cambodia?

Smoking is generally allowed in designated areas. Alcohol is widely available, but public intoxication is frowned upon by local police.

Is it safe for LGBTQ+ travelers in Cambodia?

Generally, Cambodia accepts LGBTQ+ travelers, and there are gay clubs, bars, and hotels in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap that cater to gay expats and tourists. It is a conservative culture, however. Same-sex sexual relations and LGBTQ+ events are legal in Cambodia, but same-sex marriage is not.

The Cambodian people are generally tolerant of foreigners, but LGBTQ+ Cambodians are frequently discriminated against and harassed outside major urban centers. Culturally, public displays of affection are not accepted, regardless of sexual orientation.

Check Visa Requirements and Apply for an E-Visa

To apply for an e-visa in advance:

  • Visit the  Cambodian e-visa website .
  • Complete the online application with your details.
  • Pay the visa fee ($30-70 depending on nationality).
  • Receive visa approval letter via email usually within 3 business days.

E-Visa for Cambodia – The Top 4 Temple Tours to Visit with Your New Visa + 7 Key Questions Answered

Have a Valid Passport

Your passport is a crucial document for entering Cambodia. It must meet these validity requirements [Cambodia Entry Regulations]:

  • Be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date from Cambodia.
  • Have at least 2 blank pages for visas and stamps.
  • Not be damaged or missing pages.

Passport cards are not accepted for entry. If your passport expires soon, renew it before your trip.

Register with the Foreigners Present in Cambodia System

Cambodia now requires all foreign visitors to register their details in the  Foreigners Present in Cambodia System (FPCS) . This helps the government track and assist visitors in emergencies.

You should register via the FPCS app before your trip. If renting an apartment, the landlord will register you. Failure to register could prevent extending your visa.

Book Accommodation

Having confirmed lodging arrangements is advisable for the visa process. Be sure to have your hotel name, address, and contact information on hand.

For Siem Reap, we recommend staying central near Pub Street. Top-rated hotels include  Memoire d’Angkor Boutique ,  Prince d’Angkor , or  Treasure Oasis .

Have Travel Insurance

Purchasing comprehensive  travel insurance  that covers health, luggage, and trip cancellations is strongly recommended. This provides vital coverage in case of accidents, injuries, or other unforeseen events.

Print Useful Documents

Have printed or digital copies of important travel documents:

  • Proof of hotel booking
  • Travel insurance policy

Avoid Overstaying Your Visa

Tourist visas allow a 30-day stay from the stamped date of entry. Overstay fines are $10 per day with no limit. Extensions can be obtained via immigration offices.

Mark your visa validity period and departure date. If you require an extension, apply with plenty of time. Overstaying over 30 days can result in detention and deportation.

How many embassy in Cambodia? Foreign representations in Cambodia

Have US Dollars for Arrival

Having about $100 in USD cash on arrival is recommended for any visa fees, airport transfers, etc. ATMs and currency exchange booths are available at the airports.

  • Google Translate – Translation tool

Pack Appropriate Attire

Arrange Airport Transfers

Pre-book airport transfers  for a seamless arrival. Reliable options include private drivers, shared shuttle vans, and Grab taxis booked via app.

Cambodia Entry Regulations – What are the visa requirements for Cambodia?

Whether you’re backpacking through Southeast Asia or planning a luxury getaway to Angkor Wat, sorting out your  Cambodia entry regulations  can seem daunting. But fear not intrepid traveler! With a few handy tips, navigating Cambodia’s visa rules will be smooth sailing.

The first step is knowing whether or not you need a visa. Citizens from most countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia and all of Europe, require a tourist visa. Thankfully, Cambodia offers  e-visas  – so sorting this in advance is a breeze!

Once you’ve applied online and received your approval letter, all you need to enter Cambodia is:

  • Passport valid for 6 months
  • 1 passport photo
  • Proof of onward travel
  • Approx $36 USD for the visa fee

My advice? Apply for your e-visa at least 2 weeks before your trip. And check the official  Cambodian e-visa website  for the most up to date info.

If you want to stay longer than the 30 days a tourist visa allows, you can apply for visa extensions pretty easily in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. I’d budget about $45-75 USD per month extension.

For digital nomads staying over 6 months, another option is the 1-year Ordinary visa. It takes more time to arrange, but will save you hassle in the long run.

I always recommend sorting visas in advance where possible. But in a pinch, you can also get a  visa on arrival  at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airports. Just remember to bring passport photos, $36 USD and proof of onward travel. Lines can be long, so leave ample time before your flight!

Visa Requirements Summary:

  • 30 day e-visa: $36 USD, apply online in advance
  • Extensions: $45-75 USD per month, arrange in Cambodia
  • Visa on arrival: $36 USD, more time consuming
  • 1 year ordinary visa: For long stays over 6 months

So don’t let Cambodia’s visas intimidate you. Just come prepared with passport photos, travel proof and visa fees. Then enjoy temple hopping at Angkor Wat and beach chilling in Sihanoukville!

Cambodia Entry Regulations – Which vaccines and medications should I get before visiting Cambodia?

You’ve booked flights, arranged your visa, and started dreaming of epic Cambodian adventures. But before packing your bags, it’s crucial to look into any required or recommended vaccinations. Here’s my handy guide to staying healthy and safe on your Cambodia getaway.

Recommended Vaccines:

  • Hepatitis A:  This food and water-borne virus can cause severe liver problems. The vaccine offers almost 100% protection and is recommended for all travelers.
  • **Typhoid:**Spread through contaminated food and water, typhoid causes high fevers and stomach issues. The vaccine takes 7-10 days to become effective.
  • Tetanus shot:  Especially important if planning outdoor activities and adventures. Immunity requires a booster shot every 10 years.
  • Rabies vaccine:  Recommended for travelers spending time in rural areas with animal contact. Provides protection if bitten or scratched.
  • Japanese Encephalitis:  This mosquito-borne virus is rare for travelers, but vaccinations may be wise for long-term stays.

Malaria Medications:

Malaria hot spots are present in some rural Cambodian regions. Ask your doctor about antimalarial pills if planning extended rural stays. Options include:

  • Doxycycline: Starts 1-2 days before travel and continues for 4 weeks after. Cheaper but causes sun sensitivity.
  • Malarone: Considered the best tolerated pill. Start 1-2 days before and continue for 1 week after travel. More expensive.
  • Chloroquine: Not ideal for SE Asia resistance. Cheap but can cause vision issues.

For quick rural trips, diligent mosquito avoidance may suffice over pills. But antimalarials are wise for longer rural stays.

Other Medications:

  • Anti-diarrheal pills:  Help manage symptoms
  • Oral rehydration salts:  Replace fluids and minerals for dehydration
  • Antibiotics:  Ask your doctor for a course in case of bacterial infections
  • Motion sickness pills:  For windy boat rides in places like Sihanoukville

By getting the recommended vaccinations, packing medications, and taking antimalarials if required – you can minimize health risks and focus on creating epic Cambodia memories!

Cambodia Entry Regulations – What are the passport and entry requirements for US citizens visiting Cambodia in 2023?

For American travelers, visiting the ancient temples of Angkor Wat and relaxing on Cambodia’s tropical beaches just got easier! As a US passport holder planning a 2023 Cambodian getaway, here are the key entry regulations to know:

Passport Requirements:

  • Must be valid for 6 months beyond travel dates
  • At least 1 blank page for stamp
  • Scans or photocopies not accepted

Also consider getting a second valid passport if visiting multiple SE Asian countries. Some require you enter and exit on the same passport.

Special Regulations:

  • No pre-travel COVID tests required
  • No vaccine passports or quarantine
  • Masks no longer mandated, but still recommended in crowds

As of January 1, 2023, Cambodia has removed any entry restrictions! Just arrive with a valid passport to enjoy hassle-free entry.

Visa Options:

  • E-visa:  Apply online for $36, receive approval letter to present on arrival
  • Visa on arrival:  More time consuming but available at Phnom Penh & Siem Reap airports ($36 fee)

I highly recommend applying for an e-visa online at least 2 weeks pre-travel. It’s quick and lets you skip the visa on arrival queues!

Bottom Line:

With remote vaccine passes abolished and e-visas available, traveling to Cambodia is easier than ever for US passport holders in 2023. Just remember to check your passport validity, bring some passport photos, and secure your e-visa in advance!

Then get ready to immerse yourself in Cambodia’s captivating history, culture, and natural beauty. Happy travels!

Trip cancellation. Lost baggage. Medical emergencies. Potential issues feel extra worrisome when traveling somewhere new and exotic like Cambodia. That’s why purchasing comprehensive travel insurance should be on every Cambodia-bound traveler’s pre-trip checklist!

Lost, Stolen or Damaged Baggage  – $1000 to $2500 for replacing lost items or repairing damage.

Travel Insurance

Cambodia Entry Regulations – How can I save money on my Cambodia trip?

From food to accommodation to attractions, Cambodia offers tons of incredible value for budget-minded travelers. With a few smart planning strategies, you can stretch your dollars even further and save big on your Cambodian adventure!

Here are my top money-saving tips:

Go in shoulder season  – For the best climate and lower prices, visit during the shoulder months of November or late February/early March.

Travel overland  – Buses, trains and shared taxis are way cheaper than flying around the country. Overnight sleeper buses maximize your time too!

Eat local cuisine  – Splurging at Western places burns through cash fast. Street food and local restaurants are tastier and cost just a few dollars.

Stay in hostels  – Private rooms average just $10-15 USD per night. Some even include breakfast, Wi-Fi and a pool.

Use public transport  – Tuk tuks, motos and cyclos make getting around fun and affordable.

Buy a souvenir scarf  – The versatile krama scarf makes the perfect budget-friendly gift or memento.

See free sites  – Lots of top attractions like Phnom Bakheng temple have no entry fees.

Get travel insurance  – This protects from financial loss if you have to cancel or cut a trip short.

With some strategic planning, sticking to a daily budget in Cambodia is totally doable. Focus your spending on experiences, live like the locals do, and take advantage of the country’s overall great value.

Conclusion –  Reflecting on Cambodia Entry Regulations

After reviewing all the key Cambodia entry regulations for 2023 in this post, my main reflection is that Cambodia has struck a good balance. Requirements like visas and passport validity help control entry while generating revenue from tourism. Yet processes like e-visas and COVID-19 adjustments make it easy for genuine travelers and prevent too many barriers.

Of course, no country’s immigration policies are perfect. But Cambodia has obviously learned from past conflicts and uncertainties. Today’s entry regulations encourage tourism and connections with the world, while still protecting the nation’s interests. As someone who fell in love with Cambodia after my first visit, I’m glad to see the country embracing openness while also asserting its autonomy.

Whether you’re reading this post as research for an upcoming trip, or just a fan of Cambodia travel dreaming from afar, I hope you’ve found this guide helpful. Safe travels and I hope you get to experience the magic of Angkor Wat and beyond for yourself soon!

In order to enjoy the splendor of Angkor Wat or the lively city life of Phnom Penh , it’s crucial that you understand the visa requirements. Navigating this process doesn’t have to be daunting; armed with the right info, you’ll find it quite straightforward.

Types of Cambodia Visas for US Citizens

Primarily, US citizens traveling to Cambodia may need one of the following types of visas:

  • Tourist Visa (T Class) : This is designed for short-term stays spanning up to 30 days. It’s single-entry, which means you can’t leave and re-enter Cambodia on the same visa.
  • Business or Ordinary Visa (E-Class) : If you’re headed to Cambodia for purposes other than tourism, such as business or work, you’ll likely need this visa. It initially allows a 30-day stay but can be extended for longer terms.

In addition to these, there’s also a Transit Visa (A Class) , but it’s typically used by individuals who are merely passing through Cambodia en route to another destination.

For all these visas, you’ll need to provide:

  • A passport that’s valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay
  • A recent passport-sized photo
  • Relevant visa fees

Visa Exemptions for US Citizens

While the vast majority of US travelers to Cambodia will require a visa, there are a few exemptions. You won’t need one if:

  • You hold a Diplomatic or Official Passport and are staying for no more than 30 days.
  • You’re traveling under an ASEAN agreement, which typically applies to a diplomatic or official visit.

However, keep one thing in mind: even if you qualify for an exemption, you should verify the latest rules with the Cambodian consulate before traveling. Requirements can change, and the last thing you want is a hiccup in your adventure plan.

And remember, getting your visa is merely the first step in your journey to Cambodia – a nation where ancient history and modern energy blend seamlessly. So start your preparations today, knowing well that a captivating experience awaits you.

How to Apply for a Cambodia Visa for US Citizens

Navigating visa requirements can seem daunting at first, but with this guide, you’ll have everything you need to obtain your Cambodia visa effortlessly.

Applying for a Visa in Advance

Applying in advance for your Cambodia visa is advisable for a worry-free travel experience. To do this, you can visit the official website of the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

Here’s what you’ll need for the application:

  • A valid US passport with at least six months remaining validity
  • A recent passport-size photo in digital format (JPEG or PNG format)
  • A valid credit card to pay the visa fee.

Completing this online application typically takes around 20 minutes if you have all documents ready.

Visa on Arrival

Though it’s advisable to secure a visa in advance, Cambodia also offers a Visa on Arrival option for US citizens. This means you can obtain your visa at specific entry points including Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports.

Before you opt for this, here’s what you need to know:

  • Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay in Cambodia.
  • Remember to carry two passport-sized photos. If you forget, you’ll be charged a fee for copies at the airport.
  • The visa fee needs to be paid in cash, so ensure you have enough with you.

With these details, you’re well on your way to obtaining your visa for Cambodia. Do note that visa regulations can change, so always verify the latest rules from the Cambodian consulate. Remember, the goal isn’t just to travel — but to travel smartly and securely.

Required Documents for Cambodia Visa Application

Meeting the document requirements for Cambodia visa applications can ensure smooth processing and prevent last-minute issues. It’s key to check the latest requirements from the Cambodian consulate to avoid any discrepancies.

1. Passport Validity

Your passport is an absolute necessity. Ensure your passport has a minimum validity of six months beyond your planned exit date from Cambodia . It should also have at least one blank page for the visa stamp.

2. Visa Application Form

The Cambodia visa application form needs to be filled out accurately and sincerely. The official website offers an e-visa application form for U.S citizens, which needs to be printed, signed, and submitted during visa application.

3. Passport-sized Photos

Two recent color photos are required. Strictly following the dimensions of 4 x 6 cm , with the entire face clearly visible, ensures you meet the specific photo requirements.

4. Proof of Accommodation

Get proof of where you’ll be dwelling in Cambodia. This can be hotel booking confirmations, letters from your hosts, or contact details and addresses where you plan to stay throughout your journey. Be aware that immigration authorities may ask for this documentation upon arrival.

5. Proof of Sufficient Funds

Financial solvency is a critical requirement when applying for a Cambodia visa. A document stating that you have enough money to sustain yourself throughout your stay sends a clear message to immigration authorities that you can fund your trip. While the exact amount may vary, it’s generally expected that you have at least $1,000 for each month of your stay.

6. Itinerary or Return Ticket

Show your intent to return to your home country by providing an itinerary of your flight in and out of Cambodia or a confirmed return ticket.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate (if applicable)

If you’ve been in a country with a risk of Yellow Fever prior to your Cambodia trip, presenting the Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate is compulsory. Stay updated with the World Health Organization’s list of countries with Yellow Fever risk to know if you need to comply with this requirement.

Traveling to Cambodia with a visa requires good preparation. Gathering the necessary documents early helps you navigate the application process successfully and prepares you for a pleasant journey to this beautiful Southeast Asian kingdom.

Processing Time for Cambodia Visa Application

Processing Time for Visa in Advance

When you apply for your Cambodia visa in advance, it typically takes three business days to process. However, it’s recommended that you submit your application at least a week before your intended travel date. This allows for any unforeseen delays that might occur in the processing of your application.

Remember, while the speed of online applications can be tempting, always verify the latest rules and regulations with the Cambodian consulate. This ensures you’re following the correct protocols and prevents potential complications down the line.

Processing Time for Visa on Arrival

Visa on Arrival, another option, provides a quicker alternative for receiving a visa but comes with its own set of challenges. Unlike applying in advance, Visa on Arrival is generally processed immediately as you arrive at specific entry points in Cambodia.

You’ll need to join the queue at the Visa on Arrival counter; the time spent here largely depends on the number of arrivals at the same time. So prepare for potential delays, specifically during peak tourist season.

Remember to have all your required documents in check to make the process smooth and efficient. This includes your passport (valid for at least six months), completed visa application form, passport-sized photos, proof of accommodation, proof of funds, itinerary or return ticket, and your yellow fever vaccination certificate if applicable.

Getting your visa on arrival might seem handy, but don’t forget to verify the latest rules from the Cambodian consulate to stay abreast of any updates. While the convenience is appealing, it’s crucial to stay informed to ensure a smooth start to your Cambodian journey.

When you apply in advance, brace for a fee of $36 for the Tourist Visa, and $35 for the Business or Ordinary Visa .

For your convenience, here is a quick recap on those charges:

Take note that these fees are non-refundable, regardless of whether your visa application is approved or denied.

Visa Fee for Visa on Arrival

Fancy a bit of thrill by securing your visa at the Cambodian border? Well, the Visa on Arrival option could be your fit! With accessible visa services at specific entry points, you have the opportunity to kick off your journey in real-time.

The cost for the Visa on Arrival is $30 for the Tourist Visa and $35 for the Business or Ordinary Visa . Here’s a rundown of those charges:

Remember, your adventure to the heart of Southeast Asia is a page-turn away. Now, let’s move on to understanding the best ways to get around Cambodia once your boots hit the ground.

Staying in Cambodia on a Visa

Now that you’ve got a handle on the visa types available and how to apply, let’s delve further into the nuances of staying in Cambodia on a visa. In the heart of Southeast Asia, Cambodia opens doors to rich cultural heritage, diverse wildlife, and timeless architectural wonders. But first, always ensure that your visa stays valid during your stay. The below sections shed light on visa extension and penalties for overstaying.

Visa Extension

When you’re engulfed in the charm of Cambodian life, it’s natural that you may wish to prolong your stay. It’s indeed possible – thanks to visa extension , a handy feature for tourists and businesspeople alike.

Extension of a Tourist Visa (T-class)—often a one-time affair—is allowed for an additional 30 days. For Business or Ordinary Visa (E-class), extension options range from one month to a year. Do remember that only the E-class visa types allow multiple entries.

Important note : The visa extension process usually takes a few working days. Therefore, it’s always recommended that you apply for an extension well before your current visa is due to expire.

Be aware also, that you’re only allowed to extend your visa within the Cambodian territory, as the entire process is both managed and regulated locally. You’ll need to visit the Immigration Department, submit the required documents, and pay the necessary fees.

Overstaying Penalties

Avoiding overstaying penalties is as crucial as the visa application process. Overstaying refers to a situation where you stay beyond the expiry date of your visa.

Penalties start accruing the first day after your visa expires. For each day you overstay, you will be fined $10. The situation may intensify if the overstay lasts more than 30 days. You may face legal action, including deportation and even a permanent visa ban.

Remember to check your visa validity duration and renew or exit the country timely to avoid an overstaying penalty. Familiarizing yourself with these little, yet significant, details can ensure a smooth and pleasant stay in Cambodia. Continue reading to explore other vital aspects of your Cambodia travel.

Securing your Cambodia visa as a US citizen doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With the right knowledge about the different types of visas and the application process, you’re well on your way to a hassle-free Cambodian adventure. Whether you’re going for tourism or business, remember to always check for the latest rules from the Cambodian consulate. Don’t forget about the visa extension process if you plan to stay longer, and avoid overstaying to sidestep potential fines or legal action. By staying informed and prepared, you’re ensuring a smooth journey and a delightful stay in the enchanting Kingdom of Cambodia. Safe travels!

Lao immigration officials may deny entry to or exit from Laos for individuals using multiple passports.

Traveling with children:  Travelers with children are advised to have documentary evidence of your relationship to the child, such as the child’s birth certificate or permission for the child’s travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian, if they are not present.  U.S. citizen children born out of wedlock to a Lao national and a U.S. citizen may experience difficulty departing Laos.

Travelers with HIV/AIDS:  The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Laos.

Safety and Security

The Embassy recommends U.S. citizens reconsider travel to all of Xaisomboun   Province . U.S. Embassy personnel are restricted from traveling to Xaisomboun Province due to past incidents of violence.

Never pick up unknown metal objects and avoid traveling off well-used roads, tracks, and paths.

Exercise caution in remote areas along the border with Burma.  Bandits, drug traffickers, and other people pursuing illegal activities operate in these border areas.

Find information on  Travel Advisories  on our website.

  • Petty thieves target foreigners  for pickpocketing (especially in tourist hubs) and theft of unattended property, including in vehicles. Thieves on passing motorcycles snatch purses. Petty theft increases during major Lao holidays. Residential break-ins also occur.
  • Scams:  In tourist areas, shop owners may rent motorbikes to tourists, have someone “steal” the motorbike, and charge the tourist for the cost of the “stolen” motorbike. Be cautious of rental arrangements and never provide your passport as collateral.
  • See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information on scams.

Victims of Crime:  U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Report crimes to police in the place where the incident took place. You may also contact the Tourist Police at 021-251-128. Tourist Police generally speak English. Contact the U.S. Embassy at 856-21-48-7000; after hours call 856-21-48-7600. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the crime.

See our webpage on  help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

  • Help you find appropriate medical care;
  • Assist you in reporting a crime to the police;
  • Contact relatives or friends with your written consent;
  • Explain the local criminal justice process in general terms;
  • Provide a list of local attorneys;
  • Provide our information on  victim’s compensation programs in the U.S. ;
  • Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution;
  • Help you find accommodation and arrange flights home;
  • Replace a stolen or lost passport.

Domestic Violence:  U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the Embassy for assistance.

Tourism:  Laos’ tourism industry infrastructure is very limited, especially outside major cities. Tourists participate in activities at their own risk. Emergency response and subsequent appropriate medical treatment is not available in-country. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more  information on insurance providers for overseas coverage .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties:  You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.

Furthermore, some laws are prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification:  Laos does not routinely inform the U.S. Embassy of the arrest of U.S. citizens in a timely fashion and does not always allow consular access to arrested individuals. If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our  webpage  for further information

Police and legal system bribes and informal procedures:  It is common for police to target foreigners to pay bribes for alleged traffic offenses. The Embassy is not usually able to provide assistance in these cases. Foreigners arrested for unruly conduct or damaging private property will often be held in police custody without formal charges being brought against them until they pay an indemnity to the injured party. This process usually takes a minimum of two to three weeks.

Relationships with Lao citizens:  Lao law prohibits cohabitation or sexual contact between foreign citizens and Lao nationals except when the two parties have been married in accordance with Lao Family Law. Any foreigner who cohabitates with or enters into a sexual relationship with a Lao national risks being interrogated, detained, arrested, or fined. Foreigners are not permitted to invite Lao nationals of the opposite sex to their hotel rooms, and police may raid hotel rooms without notice or consent. Foreigners, including U.S. citizens of Lao descent, are not allowed to stay in the homes of Lao nationals, even family, without the prior consent of the village chief and local police.

Foreigners who married a Lao national outside of Laos should have their marriage certificate authenticated at a Lao Embassy in the country where the marriage took place before traveling to Laos.

Possession of, trafficking in, and manufacture of drugs are serious offenses in Laos  and result in lengthy prison sentences or the death penalty. Some restaurants offer “happy” or “special” menu items -- particularly “pizzas” or “shakes” -- that may contain opiates or unknown substances. Consuming these items is illegal.

Adventure Tourism:  Laos has a developing adventure tourism industry that includes, but is not limited to, zip-lining, bungee jumping, rock climbing, and off-road bikes and buggies. Safety standards and training requirements for personnel operating these activities and safety inspections of the equipment may not be equivalent to those required for similar activities in the United States. We recommend that travelers check the safety records of adventure tourism operators. Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about  adventure travel .

Water Safety:  Travel by speedboat on rivers in Laos is dangerous, especially when water levels are low. White water rafting, kayaking, tubing, and other water-based activities, including swimming in the Mekong, are dangerous. Foreigners have drowned or been seriously injured. Do not participate in any water-based activities while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Please be aware that safety advice will be minimal, and there may not be warning signs at tourist sites.

Hotel Safety:  Some hotels in Laos do not meet U.S. safety standards for security and fire safety.

Faith-Based Travelers:  See our following webpages for details:

  • Faith-Based Travel Information
  • International Religious Freedom Report  – see country reports
  • Human Rights Report  – see country reports
  • Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
  • Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTQI+ Travelers:  There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTI events in Laos.

See   our  LGBTQI Travel Information   page and section 6 of our  Human Rights report  for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance:   There are no special provisions for persons with mobility issues.  Sidewalks and street crossings are not accessible for people in wheelchairs. Buildings, medical facilities, public transportation, etc. are generally not accessible .

Students:  See our  Students Abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers:  See our travel tips for  Women Travelers .

For emergency services in Laos, dial 0192 (tourist police) or 0195 (ambulance).

Medical facilities and services in Laos are extremely limited and may not meet basic international standards.

Contact information for hospitals/clinics is found here .

We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers accept only cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage .

We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation. Every year the Embassy sees cases of U.S. citizens who fall ill in Laos and are unable to get necessary health care because they don’t have adequate insurance. Serious medical cases frequently require medical evacuation to private hospitals in Thailand by ground ambulance or air ambulance. Hospitals in Thailand and Laos require large deposits prior to treating patients. The State Department does not pay medical bills.

Border Crossing Hours: All of the land border crossings between Laos and neighboring countries close during the night hours. The Friendship Bridge that connects Vientiane to Nong Khai, Thailand, closes from 10 p.m. – 6 a.m. daily. While it is generally possible for ambulances to cross the Vientiane friendship bridge after hours, it sometimes takes several hours to arrange for the crossing to be opened, even in cases of severe medical emergencies. Travelers should inquire locally about the hours of other border crossings . 

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Check with the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure the medication is legal in Laos.

Air Quality: Visit AirNow Department of State for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates.

Vaccinations: Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:

  • Road accidents are a major cause of death.  Defensive driving is imperative; many drivers pay little attention to traffic laws.
  • Poor driving conditions:  Traffic is chaotic, and road conditions can be rough. Few roads have lane markings, road signs, and stoplights. Drivers widely ignore those that exist. Speeding, reckless passing, and failure to obey traffic laws are common. Many drivers are underage, unlicensed, inexperienced, or uninsured. Driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs is common. Motorcycles carry as many as five people, greatly impeding the drivers' ability to react to traffic. Road conditions worsen during the rainy season and landslides are common, including on major routes connecting provincial capitals.
  • Avoid driving at night . Road construction sites are poorly marked, appear with no warning, and can be difficult to see at night. Roads are poorly illuminated, many vehicles have no operating lights, few bicycles have reflectors, and trucks without reflectors commonly park on unlighted roads.
  • Motorcycles and motorbikes:  The U.S. Embassy prohibits  Embassy personnel in Laos from using motorcycles, motorbikes, and scooters due to a high incidence of accidents and lack of available medical care. You should also consider not using these vehicles.
  • Emergency vehicles:  There are no government ambulance services, and a scarcity of private ambulances makes it difficult for accident victims to receive timely medical attention.
  • Intoxicated drivers:  Drunk driving is rampant, especially in the evening.

Traffic Laws:

  • Traffic accidents:  A driver involved in a traffic accident should remain at the scene and attempt to contact the police or wait for the police to arrive to prepare an accident report. If renting a car or motorcycle, contact the rental company and its insurance agent.
  • Traffic moves on the right, but vehicles use all parts of the road.

Public Transportation:

  • Public transportation  is scarce and the transportation available is very limited after sunset. There are a limited number of buses and shared van/covered pick-up truck services.
  • Inter-city transport  is provided by buses, vans, pickups, and trucks, any of which may be in poor repair.
  • For-hire vehicles:  Taxis or cars-for-hire are available only at major transit hubs such as border crossings and airports. “Tuk-tuks” -- three-wheeled, open-sided vehicles -- are available in tourist areas, but are frequently in poor repair, and drivers generally speak little to no English. Car taxis are also available by phone.

Visit the website of Laos’  national tourist office  and our  road safety page  for more information

Aviation Safety Oversight:  As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Laos, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the Lao civil aviation authority [DLP1]  for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Laos’ air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the   FAA safety assessment page .

  • Passports, travel and living abroad
  • Travel abroad
  • Foreign travel advice

Entry requirements

This advice reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Cambodia set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in the UK.

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Cambodia.

Passport validity requirements

To enter Cambodia your passport must be:

  • valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive in Cambodia
  • undamaged and complete - entry is normally refused if you have a damaged passport or pages missing

If you apply to renew or extend your visa from within Cambodia, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the start date of that subsequent renewal or extension.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

Visa requirements

You will need a visa to enter and travel through Cambodia as a visitor.

Check with the Royal Embassy of Cambodia for the latest information on fees, conditions and photograph requirements.

Tourist visas are valid for 30 days from the date of entry into Cambodia. Make sure your passport is stamped on arrival and keep the departure form. If you lose your departure form, you’ll need to contact immigration officials before you leave the country to make alternative arrangements.

Applying for a visa

Apply for an e-visa at least 4 days in advance.

If you do not get an e-visa, you can get a visa on arrival at airports or land border crossings. You need to provide a photo and pay in US dollars.

You can also get an extension of a tourist visa while you are in Cambodia.

You can be fined, detained and deported if you overstay your visa. There is no limit to this fine. If you overstay more than 30 days, you will need to leave Cambodia and pay the fine.

Work permits

To work in Cambodia, you need a business visa and a work permit. Business visas are issued by the immigration department and are available:

  • on arrival in Phnom Penh airport
  • at the immigration department
  • in advance from a Cambodian embassy

Your employer will need to apply for your work permit from the Department of Labour and Social Affairs.

The Cambodian government strictly enforces these rules, so you should ask the relevant department for the latest advice.

Vaccination requirements

At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the vaccinations and certificates you need in TravelHealthPro’s Cambodia guide .

Registering with the authorities

The Cambodian Department of Immigration runs an online registration app called the Foreigners Present in Cambodia System (FPCS) . If you fail to get yourself registered, you may be unable to extend your visa if you want to.

If you’re staying in a hotel, guesthouse or rented accommodation, make sure the manager or landlord registers you using the app.

If you are staying with friends or family or own your own home in Cambodia, you will need to register yourself, using the app for Android or iOS . You need to enter a Cambodian phone number for your registration to be valid.
