    Overview

    Cambodia Visa on Arrival (VOA) allows travelers to obtain their visa directly upon entering the country at international airports and major land border crossings. This is the most straightforward option for many travelers, requiring only basic documents and cash payment.

    Both Tourist Visas (T-class, $30) and Business Visas (E-class, $35) are available on arrival. The process is simple but requires some preparation to ensure a smooth entry.

    E-Visa Alternative

    If you prefer to skip the queue, consider applying for an e-Visa online before travel. It costs $6 more but saves time at immigration.
