Conditions and exceptions

  • Not every checkpoint accepts the online e-Visa: some small border posts and cruise ship arrivals do not, while a visa obtained through an embassy is valid at any 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.Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia · checked

  • Overstaying usually costs a fine of USD 10 per day; long overstays can lead to detention and deportation.

    If you remain in Cambodia beyond the date of your authorized stay, Cambodian immigration officials will likely impose a fine of $10 per day overstayed. In cases of excessive overstays, you may be arrested for violating immigration laws and detained as you undergo official deportation proceedings at your own expense.U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs · checked · read from an archived copy of 30 May 2026
