Cambodia Visa for Indians 2026, Complete Guide

Cambodia is one of the most straightforward visa destinations for Indian travelers. You have two options: apply online at evisa.gov.kh for USD 36 and receive approval within 3 business days, or walk up to the Visa on Arrival counter at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport with USD 35 in cash and have your visa in 15 to 30 minutes. Either way you get 30 days, single entry, with the option to extend once for another 30 days inside Cambodia. The main traps: dozens of websites have been built to look like the official Cambodia e-visa portal and charge USD 50 to USD 80 for a visa that costs USD 36 on the real site. The real site is evisa.gov.kh — that exact domain. Also: the Visa on Arrival counter at airports accepts USD cash only, no cards. And at some overland border crossings, unofficial fees get added on top of the official USD 35 — know what you should pay and decline anything extra politely. Cambodia is also one of Southeast Asia’s best-value destinations for Indians. Angkor Wat in Siem Reap is on every serious traveler’s list. Phnom Penh is a genuinely interesting capital with difficult history to reckon with. The south coast beaches at Koh Rong and Kep are still relatively uncrowded. This guide covers all of it.

Documents Required for Cambodia Visa

  • ✓
    Indian passport — valid 6+ months from arrival, 1+ blank page
    Must be valid for at least 6 months from your Cambodia arrival date. Need at least one completely blank page for the entry stamp. For e-visa application, upload a clear scan of the passport bio-data page (the photo page). For visa on arrival, just bring the physical passport.

  • ✓
    Passport-size photograph (for e-visa upload or VoA) Most Critical
    For e-visa: upload a recent passport-style photo (4×6 cm, white background, taken within 6 months). The file must be under 1MB in JPEG format. For visa on arrival: bring 1 physical passport photo. Without a photo at the VoA counter, you pay a USD 2 surcharge for them to print one.

  • ✓
    e-Visa approval PDF — print and carry Most Critical
    After approval you receive the e-visa as a PDF by email. Print a copy in colour and carry it when traveling to Cambodia. Also save on your phone as backup. Show it alongside your passport at immigration. The visa is also linked electronically to your passport number.

  • ✓
    Return or onward flight ticket
    Confirmation that you plan to leave Cambodia before your visa expires. Show on your phone. Cambodia immigration may check this. Book your return before applying for the visa.

  • ✓
    Hotel booking or accommodation details
    Your first night accommodation is entered in the e-visa application. Have the hotel name and address ready. At land borders and airports, immigration may ask where you are staying. Know your first hotel name.

  • ✓
    USD 35 cash — for Visa on Arrival only Most Critical
    The visa on arrival counter accepts USD cash ONLY. No cards, no Cambodian Riel, no Indian Rupees, no other currencies. Bring exact change in clean USD bills (no torn or heavily marked notes). If you do not have USD cash, you must use the e-visa applied in advance. ATMs are available AFTER immigration — not before.

What You Do NOT Need

Unlike Schengen or UK visa applications, Cambodia’s e-visa does not require:

  • Bank statement — not required for tourist e-visa or VoA
  • Salary slip or ITR — not required
  • Employment letter or NOC — not required
  • Travel insurance — recommended but not required
  • Cover letter — not required
  • Hotel booking proof to upload — e-visa only asks for hotel name, no upload needed
  • Invitation letter — not required for tourist visa
  • Visa fee in Cambodian Riel or Indian Rupees — USD only (or card for e-visa)

Why Cambodia Visa Gets Rejected for Indians, Every Cause and Fix

1
Applying on a scam website and paying inflated fees, Extremely common — most visible result when searching ‘Cambodia Visa India’
Why it happens for Indians: Paid third-party websites dominate search results for Cambodia Visa applications. They charge USD 50 to USD 80 for the same visa that costs USD 36 on the official evisa.gov.kh portal. Some submit applications correctly but overcharge. Others are fraudulent. The official portal is evisa.gov.kh — any other domain charging more is not the official site.
Fix: Apply only at evisa.gov.kh. The URL must start with www.evisa.gov.kh. Check the browser address bar before entering any payment details. The fee is USD 36 for tourist e-visa — if you are being charged more on a site that claims to be official, close the tab.

2
No USD cash for Visa on Arrival, Very common — catches travelers who did not read requirements
Why it happens for Indians: The VoA counter is cash-only in USD. Indian travelers who arrive without USD cash and assumed they could pay by card or Riel get turned away from the VoA counter. ATMs dispensing USD are available after clearing immigration — not before. If you have no USD cash on arrival, your only option is to go back and apply for the e-visa at the terminal, which takes time.
Fix: Either apply for the e-visa before flying (USD 36, 3 days processing, no cash needed — pay by card online), or carry exactly USD 35 in clean USD bills. Exchange INR to USD in India before flying. Most urban Indian banks and airport forex counters have USD.

3
Passport details entered incorrectly in e-visa application, Common cause of immigration delays
Why it happens for Indians: Any mismatch between e-visa details and the physical passport — name spelling, passport number, date of birth — causes problems at immigration. The system matches the e-visa to the passport number scanned at entry.
Fix: Enter every detail exactly as in your passport. Your name as printed in the passport, not a nickname or shortened version. Double-check passport number character by character before submitting. If you notice an error after submission, apply fresh — do not try to travel with a mismatched e-visa.

4
Arriving at a land border without e-visa (VoA not available at all crossings), Affects overland travelers from Thailand or Vietnam
Why it happens for Indians: Some overland border crossings do not offer VoA. The e-visa is accepted at major land border checkpoints (Poipet from Thailand, Bavet from Vietnam, Tropaeng Kreal from Laos) but VoA availability at land borders varies. Travelers assuming VoA is available everywhere get turned back.
Fix: If you are crossing into Cambodia by land, apply for the e-visa before your trip. Do not rely on VoA at land borders. The e-visa is accepted at all major airports and the key land crossings mentioned above.

5
Unofficial fees at land border crossings, Common at popular overland routes
Why it happens for Indians: Some land border crossings — particularly Poipet (Thailand-Cambodia) — are known for officials or touts requesting unofficial fees on top of the standard visa cost. Confused travelers pay to avoid confrontation.
Fix: Know the official cost: USD 30 for VoA, USD 36 for e-visa. Any request above this is unofficial. Decline politely but firmly. Having the e-visa approved in advance eliminates most opportunities for unofficial charges since your visa is already paid and approved.

6
Overstaying the 30-day visa, Occasional — Cambodia tracks this with digital system
Why it happens for Indians: Travelers who lose track of their entry stamp date and stay beyond 30 days face fines of USD 10 per day. Extensions must be arranged before the visa expires.
Fix: Check your passport stamp on arrival — it shows your authorized stay period. Set a phone reminder for day 25. If you want to stay longer, extend at the immigration office in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap before your 30 days expire. One 30-day extension is available for tourist visas.

Reapplication costs another Rs 3,025

The fee is non-refundable whether your application is approved or rejected. Every rejection cause above is preventable in under 5 minutes of preparation before you open the form. Do not skip the photo background check.

How to Apply for Cambodia Visa from India, Step by Step

1
Go to evisa.gov.kh — the official Cambodia government portal
Open evisa.gov.kh directly in your browser. Do not search ‘Cambodia Visa online’ and click the first result — paid third-party sites with very similar designs dominate search results and charge USD 50 to USD 80. The official portal charges USD 36 for the tourist e-visa. Verify the domain in your address bar before entering any payment details.

2
Select tourist e-visa and start application
On the evisa.gov.kh homepage, click Apply. Select Tourist Visa (T-class). Enter your arrival date, intended port of entry (Phnom Penh airport, Siem Reap airport, Sihanoukville airport, or major land border), and your email address. The e-visa validity period (3 months from issue) starts from the date of approval — enter the arrival date you actually plan to travel.

3
Fill personal details and upload documents
Enter full name exactly as in passport, passport number, date of birth, nationality. Upload: (1) Scan of passport bio-data page — clear, all four corners visible, no glare. File size under 1MB, JPEG format. (2) Passport-style photo — 4×6 cm, white background, taken within 6 months, under 1MB JPEG. These are the only two documents required. No bank statements, no flight tickets to upload.

4
Pay USD 36 by card online
Pay the USD 36 fee using Visa, Mastercard, or UnionPay. No PayPal. Payment is processed on a secure encrypted gateway. The fee is non-refundable once submitted — double-check all details before paying. You receive a reference number after successful payment.

5
Wait 3 business days for approval
Processing takes 3 business days excluding weekends and Cambodia public holidays. Do not apply at the last minute — apply at least 1 week before your travel date for comfortable buffer. Check spam folder if you don’t receive the approval email within 4 to 5 business days. You can also check status at evisa.gov.kh using your reference number and email.

6
Print e-visa PDF and carry when traveling
Download the approved e-visa PDF from the link in your approval email. Print a colour copy. Also save on your phone. At immigration in Cambodia, present your passport and the printed e-visa. The officer scans your passport and verifies the e-visa in the system. You get an entry stamp for 30 days.

7
Extension if staying beyond 30 days
Tourist visa can be extended once for another 30 days. Apply at the immigration office in Phnom Penh (72 Confederation de la Russie Blvd) or Siem Reap, or through local authorized travel agents. Fee approximately USD 45. Apply before your current visa expires. Set a reminder for day 25 of your stay.

Hidden Costs Most Indians Miss

Angkor Archaeological Park entry fees
The Angkor pass is mandatory to enter any of the Angkor temples in Siem Reap. 1-day pass: USD 37 (Rs 3,100). 3-day pass: USD 62 (Rs 5,200). 7-day pass: USD 72 (Rs 6,050). Most Indian visitors get the 3-day pass. Buy only at the official Angkor Enterprise ticket office — avoid any touts or middlemen who claim to sell discounted passes. Tickets are biometric — your photo is taken at purchase. Budget the Angkor pass separately and clearly when planning your Siem Reap trip.
Tuk-tuk full day hire for Angkor temples
Angkor complex is enormous — the temples are spread over 400 square kilometres. Walking between temples is not practical. A tuk-tuk driver hired for a full day costs USD 15 to USD 25 (Rs 1,260 to Rs 2,100) and takes you to all major temples on your chosen circuit. Book a driver at your hotel the night before — most hotels have recommendations. This cost is per tuk-tuk, not per person, so it is much cheaper for groups.
Phnom Penh killing fields and Tuol Sleng entry fees
The Choeung Ek Genocidal Center (Killing Fields) entry: USD 15 (Rs 1,260) including audio guide. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21 prison): USD 15. Both are essential visits for understanding Cambodian history but are not free. Budget separately if Phnom Penh is on your itinerary.
USD is the primary currency — exchange matters
Cambodia uses USD for most transactions alongside Cambodian Riel for small change. USD is accepted everywhere. Indian Rupees are not accepted. Exchange INR to USD in India before traveling — rates at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airports are acceptable but slightly worse than in the city. ATMs in both cities dispense USD. Avoid exchanging at hotels.
Siem Reap to Phnom Penh transport
The overland bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh takes 5 to 6 hours and costs USD 10 to USD 15 (Rs 840 to Rs 1,260) on Giant Ibis or Mekong Express — the most reliable operators. A domestic flight takes 45 minutes and costs USD 50 to USD 80 (Rs 4,200 to Rs 6,720). Budget this transfer separately if visiting both cities. Avoid night buses on this route.
Koh Rong boat transfer from Sihanoukville
Koh Rong island is a major draw — pristine beaches, bioluminescent plankton at night. Ferry from Sihanoukville to Koh Rong: approximately USD 20 to USD 25 return (Rs 1,680 to Rs 2,100). The ferry takes 45 minutes. Koh Rong accommodation prices are higher than mainland Cambodia. Budget the boat and island stay separately if including a beach segment in your trip.

Money-Saving Tips for Cambodia from India

1
Apply e-visa yourself at evisa.gov.kh — never use an agent
The official Cambodia e-visa costs USD 36 at evisa.gov.kh. Third-party sites charge USD 50 to USD 80 for the same visa. Agents in India charge Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000. Apply yourself in 15 minutes and save the entire markup. The official site is straightforward — no agent adds any value here.

2
Eat at local Khmer restaurants — not tourist strip
Rice and fish amok at a local restaurant near the Old Market in Siem Reap: USD 3 to USD 5 (Rs 250 to Rs 420). Same dish on Pub Street: USD 8 to USD 12 (Rs 670 to Rs 1,000). Cambodian food is excellent and cheap when eaten where locals eat — just walk one block off the tourist strip. In Phnom Penh, the Russian Market (Toul Tom Poung) area has excellent cheap food stalls.

3
Get the 3-day Angkor pass — not 1-day
The 1-day Angkor pass is USD 37. The 3-day pass is USD 62 — just USD 25 more for two extra days. Angkor complex has over 100 temples. You cannot meaningfully see the main temples in one day, especially during midday heat. The 3-day pass lets you visit at sunrise (Angkor Wat at sunrise is one of the world’s great travel experiences), avoid the midday crowds, and reach the further temples like Banteay Srei and Beng Mealea. The marginal cost is tiny.

4
Take the bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh
Giant Ibis bus between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh: USD 13 to USD 15 (Rs 1,090 to Rs 1,260). Clean, air-conditioned, reliable, 5.5 hours, USB charging. Domestic flight: USD 50 to USD 80. For a trip where every hour you save means less time at temples or museums, the savings don’t justify the flight for most travelers. Take the bus for the daytime route.

5
Carry exact USD cash for VoA — avoid the change hassle
If using visa on arrival, bring USD 35 in clean bills. If you pay USD 50, change comes in Cambodian Riel which you may not need. Exact change saves time at a busy VoA counter. If applying e-visa (recommended), no cash needed at immigration at all.

6
Use a zero-forex card for all Cambodia spending
Cambodia’s USD economy makes it straightforward. A Niyo Global or IDFC FIRST WOW zero-forex card used at Cambodian ATMs or card terminals saves 1 to 3.5% versus standard Indian Visa or Mastercard. On a Rs 45,000 Cambodia trip that is Rs 450 to Rs 1,575 in unnecessary fees.

7
Visit Angkor Wat at sunrise on your first temple day
Sunrise at Angkor Wat requires arriving by 5:30 AM. The reflection in the moat before sunrise, then the golden light on the towers as it rises, is one of Southeast Asia’s iconic experiences. It is free — included in your Angkor pass. This does not cost anything extra but requires your tuk-tuk driver to start early. Ask your hotel to arrange this the night before. Seeing it first thing means the rest of day 1 is free for other temples.

DecPeak season

November to February is the ideal window. November has post-monsoon green landscape with clear skies — Angkor looks spectacular. December to February is the cooler dry season, best for temple visits, beach time in Sihanoukville, and Koh Rong. January is the peak month — great weather but most expensive and crowded.

Indian summer school holidays (May-June) fall in Cambodia’s wet season. Angkor temples are accessible in the mornings before afternoon rains, but the experience is hot, humid, and sometimes muddy. The upside: much lower crowds than December-February peak, 20 to 40% cheaper accommodation in Siem Reap, and a lush green landscape that actually photographs beautifully. If you must travel in school holidays, go in the morning, take afternoon breaks at your hotel pool, and avoid the Tonle Sap floating villages (they are harder to reach in rainy season).

What Happens When You Land, Cambodia Immigration

Phnom Penh (PNH) and Siem Reap (REP) are the two main airports. At Phnom Penh: separate e-visa and visa on arrival queues. If you have the e-visa, join the e-visa queue — usually shorter than VoA. Siem Reap: similar setup. The interaction is brief — hand over passport, e-visa or VoA form with cash, get fingerprinted (biometric capture is mandatory for all visitors), receive entry stamp for 30 days. Total time: 5 to 10 minutes with e-visa, 20 to 40 minutes with VoA in peak season. At land borders: present passport and e-visa, pay VoA if not carrying e-visa. If anyone asks for additional fees beyond the official visa cost, decline — these are unofficial.

Have These Ready at the Counter
  • Passport (valid 6+ months)
  • e-Visa printout or USD 35 cash (for VoA)
  • 1 passport photo (for VoA — avoids USD 2 surcharge)
  • Hotel booking or accommodation name
  • Return or onward ticket (accessible on phone)

What Cambodia Is Actually Like for Indian Travelers

Angkor Wat before sunrise, with the reflection still, no sound except other travelers breathing — this is one of those experiences that earns its place on lists like ‘before you die.’ Cambodia has that and more. Ta Prohm, where tree roots have consumed the temple walls over centuries, is extraordinary. Phnom Penh is a city still reckoning with what happened here in the 1970s — the Killing Fields and S-21 are not comfortable visits but they are important ones. The south coast is where Cambodia reveals itself as a proper beach destination. And Kampot, a former French colonial town on a quiet river with pepper farms and a nearby hill station, is exactly the kind of place you find by accident and tell everyone about. The visa is USD 36. The flight from Bangkok is 1 hour. Cambodia is one of the most underrated trips an Indian traveler can make.

Frequently Asked Questions, Cambodia Visa for Indians

Do Indians need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes. All Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Cambodia. There are two practical options: the e-visa applied online at evisa.gov.kh for USD 36 (approved in 3 business days), or visa on arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville airports for USD 35 in USD cash (no cards). Both give you 30 days single entry. The e-visa is recommended — it skips the VoA queue on arrival and requires no cash at the airport.
How much is Cambodia Visa fee for Indians?
Tourist e-visa at evisa.gov.kh: USD 36 (approximately Rs 3,025) — pay by Visa or Mastercard online. Visa on Arrival at airports: USD 35 (approximately Rs 2,940) in USD cash only. Both are for 30-day single-entry stays. Beware of third-party websites charging USD 50 to USD 80 — they are not the official portal. The official site is evisa.gov.kh.
How to apply for Cambodia e-visa from India?
Go to evisa.gov.kh. Click Apply. Select Tourist Visa. Enter your arrival date, port of entry, and personal details exactly as in your passport. Upload a scan of your passport bio-data page and a passport-style photo. Pay USD 36 by Visa or Mastercard. Wait 3 business days. Download the approved e-visa PDF and print it. Carry the printout and your passport to Cambodia. No bank statements, no employer letters, no agency needed.
What documents are required for Cambodia Visa for Indians?
For e-visa: just your passport (6+ months validity), a scan of the passport bio-data page (uploaded on the website), a passport-style photo (uploaded), and a Visa or Mastercard for payment. No bank statements, no flight ticket uploads, no cover letter. For visa on arrival: physical passport, 1 passport photo, USD 35 in USD cash, and a completed arrival form provided at the counter.
How long does Cambodia e-visa take for Indians?
Standard processing: 3 business days excluding weekends and Cambodia public holidays. Many applications are approved within 1 to 2 business days. Apply at least 1 week before your travel date for comfortable buffer. Check spam folder if you don’t see the approval email within 4 to 5 business days. Status check available at evisa.gov.kh using your reference number.
Can Indians get Cambodia Visa on arrival?
Yes. Indian passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh International Airport, Siem Reap International Airport, and Sihanoukville International Airport. The fee is USD 35 in USD cash — cards are not accepted at VoA counters. Bring 1 passport photo (avoids a USD 2 photo surcharge). Processing takes 15 to 30 minutes. VoA is also available at some land borders but not all — if crossing by land, use the e-visa applied in advance.
How many days can Indians stay in Cambodia?
30 days on the standard tourist visa. It can be extended once for another 30 days at the immigration office in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, or through local authorized agents, for approximately USD 45. Total maximum on a tourist visa: 60 days. For longer stays, the Business Visa (E-class) is more flexible — it can be extended for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.
What are the best places to visit in Cambodia from India?
Siem Reap and the Angkor Archaeological Park are the primary reason most Indians visit Cambodia. Angkor Wat at sunrise is genuinely one of the world’s great experiences. Beyond Angkor: Bayon temple at Ta Prohm (the Tomb Raider temple). Phnom Penh for history — the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Museum are difficult but important visits. The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda are worth a morning. South coast: Sihanoukville for access to Koh Rong island (stunning beaches) and Kep for crab. Kampot is one of Southeast Asia’s best slow-travel towns — riverfront cafes, pepper farms, and Bokor Hill Station.
What is the best time to visit Cambodia from India?
November to February is the best season — dry, cooler temperatures, clear skies at Angkor. November is particularly good: post-monsoon green landscapes, clear skies, lower prices than December-January peak. Avoid May to October (wet season) for temple visits — heavy rain and humidity make Angkor difficult. Indian school holidays (May-June) are in the wet season — manageable but not ideal for Angkor.
Is Cambodia safe for Indian tourists?
Yes, Cambodia is generally safe for Indian tourists. Siem Reap and Phnom Penh are well-developed tourist destinations. Standard precautions apply: use reputable tuk-tuk drivers (book through your hotel), keep valuables secure in crowded areas, do not display expensive jewelry or electronics. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) remains a risk in rural areas outside major tourist zones — stick to established paths at Angkor and rural sites. Cambodia’s tuk-tuk and transport sector is known for overcharging tourists — agree on prices before getting in and use apps like PassApp in Phnom Penh.

Apply for Cambodia Visa

Single entry: Rs 3,025. Processing: 3 business days. Apply at least 2 weeks before travel. Get a white-background photo. Print your approval letter before you fly.
