Cambodia visas
Whether you need a visa for Cambodia, and which type, depends on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. Short visits are handled through the official e-Visa portal (run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation) or visa on arrival, while longer stays run on the Ordinary (E-class) visa and its extensions of stay administered by the General Department of Immigration under the Ministry of Interior. Working also requires a separate work permit and employment card from the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, and all arriving travellers complete the Cambodia e-Arrival declaration.
