Cambodian Visa Information

On arrival by air you can pickup your tourist visa for $20USD or business visa for $25USD, If you are travelling by land though you will be charged more by the border guards. They will ask for anything from 1000 THB to 1200THB for a tourist visa. The correct charge is $20USD for Lao and Vietnam border crossings or $25USD for Thai border crossings.

If they ask for more tell them that if they don't accept it you will complain to the Ministry of Tourism

You will need to bring 2 passport sized photos with you. At the airport a photo service is available ir you forget.

From the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism

There are two types of visa available for international travellers:

• Tourist visa: US$20
  
• Business visa: US$25
• The visa fee is waived for Cambodian nationals living abroad and holders of Malaysian passports.
• Children under the age of 14 require a visa however no fee is charged.
• Note that at the Thai border crossings the visa fee is 1000 Thai Baht.

It would seem the Cambodian government had to bow to a higher power. Still if you stick to paying $20 then they will accept it, but check your passport afterwards to ensure the correct stamps and details are recorded.

Make a copy of these two cards so they will know that you mean business.

If you want to remain in the country longer than 2 months it's worth getting a business visa on arrival as if you change your mind later you will need to leave the country and re-enter. A business visa is $25 for the first month.

Cambodian Visa Duration

When entering Cambodia if you get a business visa on arrival you need never leave the country again. Business visa of 6 months duration or longer (multiple-entry) allow you to leave and enter the country without renewing your visa. Approximate rates for the visas are:

• 3 months - Single entry - $72
• 6 months - Multiple entry - $140
• 12 months - Multiple entry - $270  

Annoying enough the visas take a full page in your passport.
