Conditions and exceptions

  • A visa from the online portal is not accepted at some small border checkpoints or for cruise arrivals, while a visa obtained through an embassy is valid at every international checkpoint.

    Visas obtained directly online have restricted entry coverage—for instance, certain small border checkpoints and cruise ship arrivals do not accept them. In contrast, a visa obtained through the Embassy provides the full versatility of a traditional sticker visa. It allows you to enter Cambodia through any international checkpoint, including all land borders and cruise ship arrivalsMinistry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia · checked
