PASSPORT AND VISAS

Cambodia has very liberal visa regulations. A valid passport and visa are required for entry. Visas can be obtained at Phnom Penh International Airport or Siem Reap (Angkor) Airport. Travelers need two passport-size photos and a completed visa application form. One-month tourist visas cost US$20, business visas US$25. Visa forms are provided on inbound flights or available at Thai/Cambodian land borders.

Tourist visas can be extended once for one month. Business visas can be renewed indefinitely through a travel agent or the Department for Foreigners opposite Phnom Penh International Airport. Diplomatic, Courtesy, and Official visas are renewed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Consular section.
