Good to know

French MFA Conseils aux voyageurs, Entrée/Séjour (updated 21 Sep 2026): 'Tout voyage au Cambodge suppose la délivrance d'un visa.' Passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond the end of validity of the visa requested. Tourist (T) and business (E) visas 'peuvent être obtenus directement à l'arrivée à tous les postes-frontières aériens, terrestres, maritimes et fluviaux'; at airports the visa is issued on presentation of the Cambodia e-Arrival QR code; at other land/river crossings from Laos and Vietnam payment is cash USD, 'variable (autour de 40 USD)' (approximate; Thai border crossings are noted as currently closed). The T visa can be extended once by up to one month at the immigration office opposite Phnom Penh airport. Overstay: 'une pénalité de 10 USD par jour de retard', paid at departure; over 30 days requires leaving within 7 days after paying. The French page does not state the stay in days; 30 days is used per the e-Visa portal ('1 month') and UK/Canadian advice ('30 days'). Alternative to the visa on arrival: the official Cambodia e-Visa (evisa.gov.kh, Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Visa T (tourist) costs USD 30, single entry, valid 3 months from issue (that is the window to enter, not the stay), length of stay 1 month, processed in 3 business days; requires passport valid more than six months at entry, a digital photo and a Visa/MasterCard. e-Visa is accepted only at Techo International (Phnom Penh), Siem Reap Angkor and Sihanoukville airports and the Bavet and Trapeang Kriel land borders; Cham Yeam and Poipet are listed as temporarily closed to e-Visa entry. Beware of unofficial lookalike e-visa websites. Cambodia e-Arrival (CeA) card: the official e-Arrival site (arrival.gov.kh, General Department of Immigration) says 'All travelers are required to fill in the Cambodia e-Arrival even if they have been granted VISA' and that it can be submitted 'within 7 days prior to your arrival'; submission is free. It also replaces the paper customs and health declarations. (The GDI homepage wording is 'within 7 days before or on arrival'.) Arriving visitors receive a 'v-Pass' by email instead of an ink entry stamp.
