- Most visitors need a visa: get an e-Visa (evisa.gov.kh) before flying or buy a visa on arrival (USD 30) with cash.
- Complete the free Cambodia e-Arrival card (arrival.gov.kh) within 7 days before arrival; it replaces paper arrival and customs forms.

الدخول والتأشيرات

Most other tourists need a 30-day tourist visa: e-Visa online (single entry, used at international airports and main land borders) or visa on arrival at airports and major land crossings (USD 30). Extensions are possible via agents/immigration. All arrivals must complete the e-Arrival card.
