How to Extend a Cambodia Visa
Getting a visa for Cambodia is relatively easy, and extending it is just as simple. You can renew your visa for one month up to a year! Here’s how you can extend your Cambodia visa without leaving the country.
**Important notice: As of September 4, 2017, the laws for long-term Cambodia visa extension have changed. This article has been edited to reflect that. You can read more about the changes here.

Which types of Cambodia Visas can you extend?
There are two types of Cambodia visas you can extend without leaving the country: TOURIST (T) Visa or ORDINARY (E) Visa.
There are 4 different types of Ordinary (E) Visas: (EB) Visa: Business, (EG) Visa for those searching for employment, (ER) Visa for Retirement, and (ES) Visa for Students. You can choose which type you would like when you extend your Cambodia visa.
Which Cambodia Visa should you get?
If you plan to stay in Cambodia for less than 2 months, get a TOURIST (T) VISA. You can get a 1-month Cambodia Tourist Visa on arrival when entering by land crossing or at an airport. You can extend your Cambodia Tourist (T) Visa for 1 month by going through a travel agency or do it on your own at the Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh.
If you plan to stay in Cambodia for longer than 2 months, get an ORDINARY (E) VISA, which you can also get on-arrival via land or airport. After one month you can extend it for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. The 6 and 12-month extensions allow multiple entries into the country, meaning you can leave Cambodia and come back on the same valid visa. Cambodia is one of the easiest countries in Southeast Asia to stay long term, especially since you can get a Cambodia visa-on-arrival. However, it is not as easy as it used to be to extend your visa long term.
**Note: Visa laws change frequently in Cambodia, sometimes without much notice. We update this article as often as possible when we learn new information.
As of September 4, 2017, you can only apply for a 6-month visa extension if it is your first time coming to Cambodia. Subsequent 6 and 12-month visas will require proof of an employment letter or a valid Work Permit.
In May 2019 a friend in Phnom Penh said that she was asked to show an employment letter when she went to extend her visa for 3 months. It is possible that they are cracking down more on visa extensions to ensure people staying in the country long term are working legally. We’ll update if we hear any more information about the 3-month visa extension requirements.
Your TOURIST (T) VISA or ORDINARY (E) VISA can easily be extended within a few days at many travel agencies in Phnom Penh, or you can go to the Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh by yourself.

Cambodia Visa Extension Price (As of June 2019)
NOTE: If you want to extend your visa for longer than 1 month, you must enter the country on an ORDINARY (E) VISA.
A price range is shown because different travel agencies may charge different fees on top of the visa extension price.
Usually, a Cambodia visa extension takes 2 to 5 days to be processed and must be done before your visa expires. Otherwise, it may cost you $10 per day you have over-overstayed.
Be aware of the public holidays in Cambodia when planning out your visa extension. The Department of Immigration is closed on public holidays, which can delay your visa extension.
Remember to Bring:
- Your passport
- 1 passport photo (6×4)
- The required fee in US Dollars
Here’s an example of a one-year multiple-entry EB visa. Note that to get a one-year visa you will need a valid work permit.

Going to the Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh
A reader reported in 2019 that it was a simple process to go to the Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh to extend their visa. They also said it saved them a good amount of money compared to using a travel agent (about $20 less, minus travel expenses).
Previously this definitely wasn’t the easiest way to go about extending your visa as you’d have to deal with getting all the way out to the Department of Immigration office by the Phnom Penh International Airport. Plus it could take a long time with no guarantees of when your visa would be ready. According to this reader, this is no longer the case, which is great news!
Is this a good option for you?
Personally, we aren’t big fans of dealing with Cambodian bureaucracy, having dealt with it first hand in the past on many occasions when we lived in Phnom Penh. We prefer to pay a little extra money and go through a travel agent to avoid wasting time and potential hassles. But that’s just us, and you might be up for the bureaucracy adventure! (If not, read more on extending your visa through a travel agency below.)
Going to the Department of Immigration to extend your visa is a good option for you if you plan to be in Phnom Penh for at least five days and don’t mind spending your time going to and from the Department of Immigration to drop-off and pick up your passport on two different days.
Getting there will take about 30 minutes to an hour each way, depending on where you are staying in the city. You’ll also spend time waiting at the Immigration office both days depending on how busy it is. You’re looking at about 1.5-3 hours each day based on how smoothly it all goes.
How to get there and what to do
The Department of Immigration is located across from Phnom Penh International Airport (Google Map). Hours for dropping off your passport and visa extension paperwork are from 2 PM-5 PM Monday through Friday. This is subject to holidays, of course, so be sure to look ahead at the public holidays in Cambodia before you make the trip out.
To get to the Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh you can take a tuk-tuk, Grab taxi, PassApp, or a motorbike directly there. You can also take public bus #3 to the Phnom Penh International Airport, then walk across the street. The public bus is the cheapest option at 2000 Riel ($0.50 USD) each way, and it has air-con!
At the Immigration office, you’ll need $30 USD in cash and a photo ID. You may also need a passport photo, so bring one just in case. Once your paperwork and money have been collected and processed you’ll get a receipt and temporary ID which will tell you your pick-up date. This is usually 3-5 business days later as long as there are no holidays. You will need to go back to the Department of Immigration office to collect your passport during the same hours.
Travel Agent Suggestions in Phnom Penh
Another option is to drop your passport with a travel agency that will process your Cambodia visa extension for you, freeing up your time to explore Phnom Penh. This option is a bit more expensive than doing it yourself since travel agencies charge a fee for their service.
Below are some travel agencies in Phnom Penh that offer visa extension services. We recommend contacting them directly through Facebook messenger or calling if you have any questions before you go in.
Some guesthouses and hotels also offer visa extension services. Just ask at reception.
Near Russian Market
• East West Travel Co. #16 Street 57
• 2World Travel #270eo Mao Tse Toung Blvd. (Corner of Street 199)
Near Central Market
• Lucky Motorcycles #413Eo Monivong Blvd (west side, about 50 yards south of the intersection with St 182)
• Sorya Travel Street 63 near BKK market
Near the Riverside
• LMN Travel Agency #211 Sisowath Quay (on the Riverside near Paddy Rice Irish pub)

How to Extend Your Cambodia Visa Outside of Phnom Penh
To extend a Cambodia visa, your passport must be processed at the Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh. If you are in another province it may be possible to have your passport sent to Phnom Penh through a travel agency. There will be an additional fee for this service and it may take a few extra days so plan accordingly.
Compared with the added cost of traveling to Phnom Penh yourself, sending your passport may be a more cost-effective option. Though it might seem scary to give your passport to a stranger, this is how it is done.
Be sure to check reviews on Facebook and Tripadvisor of the travel agency you choose before using their services.
Getting a Cambodia e-Visa (Electronic Visa)
If you’re the type of traveler who likes to plan ahead, you have the option to get a Cambodia e-visa online before your trip. All you have to do is fill out the online application and make the payment. You will receive the document via email so you don’t have to deal directly with a Cambodia embassy. When you arrive in Cambodia, present your passport and the document.
Note that an electronic visa is not the same as an Ordinary (E) visa. At least it’s not confusing. A Cambodia e-visa can be extended once for 30 days, similar to a Tourist (T) visa. One of the perks of getting an e-visa ahead of time is that you can pay by credit/debit card or Paypal instead of having to pay USD for a visa-on-arrival.

Extending a Cambodia Retirement Visa (ER Visa)
If you plan to retire in Cambodia, at some point you will need to renew your Retirement Visa. Cambodia is a popular place to retire in Southeast Asia and it’s still fairly easy to do so.
One of our readers who has been living on an ER Visa for the past six years in Cambodia shared his experience renewing his Retirement (ER Visa) in January 2019.
Here’s what he said: “It was no problem. I just took my passport into a travel agent in Phnom Penh with 2 passport size photos and $293 (for 12-month extension). No forms to fill out and I got my passport back 11 days later.”
Our Experience with Cambodia Visas
We moved to Phnom Penh, Cambodia in May 2015. We got 1-month Ordinary (E) visas on arrival. After that month we extended our Ordinary (E) visas foår 1 more month, as we moved to Phnom Penh without jobs and weren’t sure what the future held.
Within that second month, we found jobs and then got 1-year visa extensions. We got Ordinary (E) visas again the following year, and once more in July 2017 when we returned to Cambodia after two months away traveling in Laos and Taiwan.
On September 4, 2017, the government changed the rules about Cambodia visa extensions. You are now only allowed to extend your Cambodia visa for 6 or 12 months if you have a valid work permit, or are on a special type of visa such as a Retirement Visa (ER) or a Student Visa (ES).
The government has been cracking down on Work Permits and many businesses are scrambling to get them for their employees. You may qualify to apply for a Work Permit on your own online through the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training website.
If you do not have a valid Work Permit, you will only be able to extend your Ordinary (E) Visa for 3 months. Then you will have to leave Cambodia and can return again and get another Ordinary (E) visa and repeat the visa extension process. In May 2019 a friend was asked to show a work permit to get a 3-month visa extension, so it may not be as easy anymore to get a long term extension.
If you have recently gotten your visa extended in Cambodia and have any new or different information, please share your experience in the comments!

I have visited Cambodia a number of times and decided to retire here. I’m over 55 so no documentation is required. At Phnom Pehn airport I applied for a E type visa at the visa on arrival booth, could not have been easier I was asked how long I intended to stay, I replied 12 months there were no other questions or forms or documents asked for, after five minutes waiting in the designated area I was politely returned my passport with a one month E (ordinary) visa. On to passport control, no queues and a really charming passport officer asked me to do the figure prints me and stamped my passport with a “welcome to Cambodia” sir, walked straight through customs again really all smiles from the officers in attendance.
As I live in Bancheay Meanchey 380km from Phnom Pehn I decided to use an agent in Siem Reap. Again couldn’t have been easier. Walked in asked if they could do a visa extension for me replied yes $295 for 12 months (that’s $290 government fees and a fee of $5 including processing and tracked postage), Ten days later I picked my passport with my my new 12 month visa, perfect.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hi i’m a filipino and tourist here in cambodia when i renew my entry visa from vietnam the bavet cambodia immigration in border asked me a 90$ which is only valid for one month ….
This is much higher than any amount we have heard before! Was this inside the immigration office at the border?
Hello I wish to get a Toursit visa extension and am near the Riverside, the only one you recommend, LMN Travel & Tours is listed by Google as ‘permanently closed’ and I will go there today to check if that is true. Are you aware of any others that might be open/closed on your list? I am sure Covid has had a devastating impact on such agencies and I want to go to a good one still open and in business, thank you
Covid has indeed been very tough on businesses. We’re sorry for the late reply. Were you able to find a travel agency that could help you?
Hi Jennifer,

Why this article so stupid. For EB visa 6-12 month no need work permit , only need letter from job. And all this no even near with realty
Hi there, RealSinner. we do our best to share updated information in this article. As you probably know, things in Cambodia can change quickly, especially in these crazy times, and things aren’t always clear. We appreciate you sharing your personal experience with the EB visa. What you describe has not been the case for other readers, so it is good to know how it went for you. Cheers, Jen
Hi, I’m faridul from Bangladesh. This is the very first time I’m planing to travel in Cambodia.
Here is my question how I get an Ordinary Visa?
Because, purpose of my coming to find a job & so for that reason may be I need to stay longer.
I’m considering you will drop a good suggestion here. Thanks in advance.
Hi Faridul, due to Covid-19 the rules on visas are changing and we cannot always be up to date. I recommend contacting local visa agencies or travel agencies in Phnom Penh to find out the current situation with obtaining an Ordinary visa. Best of luck to you!
Hi Jennifer,
I am a Nigerian coming from Spain to live in Cambodia for the first time.What is the current situation regarding the issuance of visas to Nigerians.
Can I still get the visa on arrival? Are there any questions I would be asked by the immigration officers on arrival? What are the precise documents that I would be asked to present?
Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated.
Hi Oye, I wish I had all of these answers for you! Due to Covid-19, visa rules for Cambodia have changed and will likely change again. The best way to get answers to all of your questions is to contact a visa agency or travel agency in Cambodia to get the most up to date information. Wishing you all the best and good luck!
I am a US citizen who married a Khmer woman (in Cambodia = we have a Cambodian Marriage License). I am being told that I may qualify for the “ordinary” E class visa. Unfortunately, there is very little information on this subject. I understand I follow the same process as the business visa but submit my marriage documents in place of letter of employment/work agreement.
Any information about this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ryan
Hi Ryan, Unfortunately, we do not know specifics about that. I recommend contacting a travel agency in Cambodia or immigration to get information about your specific situation. Best of luck to you.
Ryan, same situation but further along. In early August 2020 US Khmer Embassy changed their Visa Requirements website to include an expanded list of qualifiers for an E-Class “Business” Visa. I got one based on Khmer wife and newborn, an “EF”, presumably “Family”. Required the documents you’d expect plus a written letter/email from the in-country wife about the need for my presence in the Kingdom. The US Khmer Embassy was very responsive via email and upon receipt of the requested documents promptly issued the EF Visa I’m now in country on.
Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Buck!
I get an annual multi-entry EB visa for the past 5 years based on my marriage to a Cambodian, and a Cambodian son (dual nationality). A lot of the Facebook and simila information is misleading so we paid and had this researched extensively by a leading Cambodian / International lawl firm in Phnom Penh and there is no specific legal provision, however the immigration authority seem to have discretion. Notwithstanding situations and regulations seem to change. Anually I submit my passport with existing visa, and copies (though sometimes asked for originals) of cambodia marriage documents, wife Cambodian ID, son Cambodian birth certificate, wifes family book, my sangkat residence letter, house rental agreement and this year we are asked for evidence of registration on FPCS, plus passport photo. I have not been asked for a work permit, but the Eb visa does not confer work status – if you are working you will also need a work permit. Hope this helps
Thank you for sharing your experience! We really appreciate it. Hopefully, it is helpful for those going through a similar experience.
Hi,
I support one family living now in Cambodia (mother and two boys 8 and 9 years old). They come from Pakistan but they had problem in this country because of their religion, so they had to leave this country. I would like to ask you what type of visa is the best for the boys and what is the price. They attend school in Phnom Penh.
Thank you.
Viera
Hi Viera, We aren’t able to advise you on this. It is probably best to contact a visa agency there in Cambodia.
Hello everyone, thanks for your posts.
I also had a question.
If I wanted to move to Cambodia as a job seeker, what kind of visa do I need?
Do I have to book a return flight to my country? I want to apply for the visa when already in Cambodia.
Are there questions that I will be asked concerning my visa type, if any please lemme know. I’ll be moving to Cambodia by next month.
As far as we know, if you enter Cambodia with an Ordinary (E) visa, which many nationalities can get on arrival, then you will be able to extend that visa once you get a job. You should not need to book a return flight to your country. That said, different countries have different rules, so you will want to confirm that. Best of luck with your move!
I am an indian trying to search job in combodia what kind of visa is suitable for me. is it easy to get job in combodia
Hi Sam, if it is your first time going to Cambodia then I would suggest entering the country with an (E) Ordinary visa which you will be able to extend for 3-6 months. This should give you ample time to look for a job in Cambodia. Then your workplace can help you prepare the proper paperwork to get a visa extension and Work Permit. I can’t say whether it’s easy to find a job in Cambodia. It depends on what field you are in, your experience, which companies are hiring at the time, etc. Please be sure to look at the Cambodia Embassy website to ensure that you have the proper paperwork and everything you need to enter the country.
Am planning to go cambodia soon and in our country uganda no offices ,how can i get e visa. Again i see that ugandan passport holders can stay in cambodia for month without visa ,is it true.
We aren’t sure about the specifics for every country, especially because laws are often changing. It is best to check for this information directly on the Cambodia Immigration government website.
Hi Jennifer,
I am a Indian passport holder and just arrived to Cambodia on 13th Aug. On the application form i had mentioned Ordinary (E) visa but they refused to give me a E visa and instead put a T visa on my passport.
I have been to Cambodia in the past and was never refused a T visa. This is the first time i had this issue and the immigration officer was asking me to provide them some letter (which I could not understand or am aware of it). Has there been any changes in the visa process. What are the other options to get the E visa.
Would appreciate if i could get any help on the above. Thanks in advance.
Yours is the first instance we’re hearing of where they denied an E visa on arrival. We had heard that immigration started requiring a letter for E visa extensions, but not for E visa on arrival. Sorry to hear that happened to you. If you have any other information please let us know and hope you were able to sort it out.
It happened the same to us. Turkish nationals
Thank you for sharing your experience. Were you able to figure out why you could not get the Ordinary visa on arrival and what was your solution?
Yes, same has happened to me too. This is the second time I had applied for Ordinary and they gave me Tourist. Not sure, if there is a unwritten law that Indians are not allowed Ordinary Visa on arrival. Officer kept saying, I need to go to immigration and submit my documents.
Thank you for your comment. We aren’t sure about that either. Please share what you find out if you do end up going to immigration. Any information you can share will help other Indian citizens out!
Dear Jennifer,
I think your site is the best on Cambodian visa. I recently extended my Cambodian visa at the immigration office. Please add this information to the things needed at the immigration office: the complete, complete, full, full address (and phone number) in Phnom Penh or Cambodia where the person is staying which includes specific names of municipality And district which most hotels may not print on their cards but which will show on Google Maps in Roman letters and which should be written down in advance because no Wi-Fi is available at the immigration office.
Dear Nick,
That is a great thing to add. Thank you for sharing your recent experience to help others!
Best,
Jen
Soursdey Jen and Stevo,
Your website was really useful for me, especially this topic, so I would like to post my experience to help as yours helped me.
I arrived in Cambodia with an Ordinary E Visa. Then I asked an EG Visa extension (for those searching for employment) for 6 months the 6th august and it was ready 16th. I provided only passport and fee 160$ at this address : East West Travel Co. #16 Street 57. Thank you very much to had shared this one !!! Because I called an other place (first result in google for visa extension in Cambodia), it was more expensive and they wanted to charge another fee for a letter…
Good to know : Before I asked for this extension, I had already 7 Tourist T VISA, so it was far to be my first time in Cambodia 🙂
Thanks again !
Soursdey Yann,
Thank you so much for sharing your recent experience! That is really helpful for other people who want to extend their visa. We appreciate you taking the time to share how it went for you. All the best to you!
Cheers,
Jen
Hi, so the e-visa one applies for online is not the ordinary visa?
So is better to apply for the ordinary visa on arrival?
Thanks
Hi Lio, yes it is our understanding that you can only apply for the Tourist (T) visa online. You can get the Ordinary (E) visa on arrival. Please let us know if you find anything different from your experience, but as far as we know you are correct.
I am traveling with a group of engineering university students to Kampot for 8 weeks in January 2020. We will be undertaking volunteer work with an NGO assisting in the design and construction of a toilet block for a local school as well as training locals so they can reproduce this project. We will not receive any payments – so technically not working.
We are planning on entering Cambodia on a Tourist E-Visa (or Business E-Visa) for 30 days. We will get these visas prior to arriving in Cambodia. We understand we will need to extend this visa for another 30 days to allow us to be in Cambodia for the full 60 days.
The options appear to be:
1. Pay a travel agent in Kampot to get the visa extended in Phnom Penh for an additional 30 days ($50USD). My concern here is not having access to our passports for up to 5 days.
OR
2. Travel to Vietnam at the Ha Tien border crossing. Enter Vietnam on a pre-arranged Tourist E Visa ($25USD + $20USD stamping fee). Stay for 1-2 nights in Vietnam. Return to Cambodia border crossing and apply for a Tourist Visa On Arrival ($35USD) which will give us another 30 days in Cambodia. Positives of this process is that we have access to our passports at all times, but negatives are costs of bus travel to and from Ha Tien, accommodation in Ha Tien and purchase of Vietnamese visa.
What would yo suggest the best course of action may be?
Hi Kristy, I believe there is a volunteer visa option with the Ordinary (E) visa that you can apply for though I don’t know what that process entails or if it would be worth the effort to get it. That might be something to look into.
Both options you mentioned should work. I know it feels scary to be without your passports when you send them through a travel agent, but that’s how it is done if you are applying for a visa extension from outside of Phnom Penh. Make sure everyone in your group has copies of their passport picture page before sending them off. I don’t know which travel agents in Kampot are best to work with. You can try asking in some of the Kampot Facebook groups as expats living there will likely have more insight.
As you said, the cost of a visa run trip to Vietnam will add up, so renewing your visa with a travel agent is probably the better option if time and money are a concern. Hope your group has a great trip!
I obtained Ordinary Visa on arrival $35, then extended to get 6 month visa $161. The travel agency simply printed off a pre-written letter for the embassy. This was NOT my first visit to Cambodia.
Sounds like the travel agency was able to work some magic for you! Do you mean a letter for immigration? When you extend your visa the Cambodian Immigration Department handles it. If you want to share which travel agency you used that might be helpful to people.
Hi, could you tell me what agent you used?
For the past few years our schools handled our visas for us, but we have recommended a few agencies in the article.
it was Diamond Elephant Travel in Siem Reap. very central.
Diamond Elephant Travel in siem reap.
Hi Andy, which agency was this? Tx Nick
Diamond Elephant Travel in siem reap.
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you very much your useful information!
I planned to apply Business visa and extend it to 6-month with multi-entry.
May I know if it is fine to use company letter for application? Or working permit is a must?
Hi Cecilia, you’re welcome! Recently we have heard of people using both a company letter or a work permit in order to extend their visa. To be sure I would check with your company and ask them. Hopefully, HR will have updated information to help you. Best of luck!
Hi,
I am a US Citizen and self-employed as a freelancer. Would it be possible to obtain 12 month business visa extension?
Hi Mera,
As far as we know there isn’t a way to get a 12-month visa as a freelancer. You will probably need to get an Ordinary (E) visa when you arrive in Cambodia and get a 3-month visa extension, then leave the country and return and do the same thing again. If anyone knows any other way to do it, please share!
After flying from Toronto, Canada in 2017, I applied for ordinary (E) visa on the plane from Shanghai to Siem Reap, Cambodia. They simply gave people on the plane an application to fill out while we were in flight from China. (The ordinary (E) visa used to be called the “Business” Visa.) Paid the $35 when we landed at Siem Reap.
A few days later I took my passport to a local travel agency in Siem Reap and paid for a six month extension. They sent it off to Phnom Penh and I got it back a week later with the six month Extension. No problems at all.
When I return later this year or next year.. (end of 2019 or beginning of 2020) I will be getting the ordinary (E) visa again and apply for the ER “Retirement” 12 month extension.
Hi Robert, thanks for sharing about your experience extending your Ordinary (E) visa! It’s great to hear that you had an easy time getting it extended for 6 months. Can you share the name of the travel agency you used in Siem Reap?
Hi there.
My wife and I have been offered employment in Cambodia after a short visit to my daughter in April 2019.
Would we be able to apply for an E visa?
Hi Marius,
Yes, you and your wife can apply for an Ordinary (E) Visa. You will be able to extend it for 3 months on your own or if your employer can help you secure a work permit then you can extend your (E) visa for 6 or 12 months.
Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Hey!
I have a khmer boyfriend and at the moment we are in Thailand but we plan to move to Cambodia.
We will arrive in Cambodia the day after tomorrow but we have to go back to Thailand the 22nd (may) until 5th (June). Then we plan to come back to Cambodia and he will stay there but I have to go back to Thailand from 22nd of June until 14th of June. Then back to Cambodia and I would love to stay there one year.
What do you recommend me to do? Reading the article I thought about getting the ordinary (E) visa the day after tomorrow and then in that same week, applying for a “looking for a job 6 month visa” with multiple entry.
We both got offered a job in Cambodia already but we don’t know how that will work out. Is it easy/cheap to get a work permit?
And where can I apply for this 6 month visa? and what is the name of this visa, like what do I have to tell them when I apply for it?
I hope you can help me out! Thank you,
Tya
Hi Tya,
You can go to a travel agency to ask about the 6-month multiple entry visa. You will only be able to apply for this type of visa if it is your first time visiting Cambodia. Otherwise, you can only extend your (E) visa for 3 months. In that case, it will not be a multiple entry visa so it sounds like that won’t make sense for your situation. I’m not sure how quickly the travel agency will be able to get the visa for you, but it usually takes about a week or less. You can get a work permit once you have a job since it is tied to your employer, and they should help you with the process. Our schools helped us get our work permits, so I’m not sure what the cost is, to be honest. It seems to change every year, but your employer will know. Hope that helps and good luck to you and your boyfriend!
All my best,
Jen
Hello Doctor visa
I read what you up-dated in may 19 but dont understand if i stay less 20 days, i need visa with indian passport ? Thank you for reply
Yes, you still need a visa. Only 9 countries are visa exempt for Cambodia, but India is not one of them. You can check more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Cambodia
Hi, which of the following travel agency can meet the 1 week visa processing for 6months visa? Will it cost me extra fees to process it for 1 week? Thanks
It usually only takes 3-5 working days to process a visa at any travel agency unless there is a holiday. There will be a fee of $5 or so depending on how long you are extending for. Best of luck!
Hi All,
I have an African passport and wanted a Business Visa (for 6 months), unfortunately I got a Tourist Visa by imposition. I renewed it for 1 additional month (total of 60 days). Finally, I took a flight out to a visa-free country and on my return I stated emphatically I needed a Business Visa. I was told at the airport that with my kind of passport, there was no way I could be given a business visa. After an hour, I was issued another Tourist Visa with threats of deportation (why am I touring Cambodia for all these while? what do I do etc?).
How often can I apply and renew Tourist Visa? Does it mean after every 60 days I need to take a flight out? (Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia do not give visa on arrival to African passport holders)
Can African passport holders not do business in/with Cambodian?
I’m just amazed..
Thanks for your feedback.
Hi, we are sorry to hear this happened to you. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is all too common in Cambodia for African passport holders.
When you say you asked for the Business visa do you mean the Ordinary (E) Visa? This is the visa type that you should get if you want to extend it for longer than 1 month. The Ordinary (E) Visa can be extended for 3 months. If you have a Work Permit, which you can apply for through your employer in Cambodia or online if you are self-employed, then you are able to extend an Ordinary (E) Visa for 6 or 12 months. I hope that immigration will allow you to get the Ordinary (E) Visa the next time you fly into the country.
If not then, yes, you will need to continue to get Tourist (T) Visas and leave the country every 60 days. I am not sure how many times you can do this before it becomes an issue.
Best of luck to you!
Cheers,
Jen
i am a Nigerian English teacher who currently lives in Russia and would be visiting Cambodia next month to seek for a a teaching job. I heard about the EG visa category for first timer and people searching for jobs even without prior employment in Cambodia. However, i contacted the Cambodia Embassy in Moscow about an EG visa and i was told that they only have Tourist visa and EB- Business visa. Since most schools in Cambodia prefers face to face interview, they all want me to enter the country first before being considered probably. My question is, are there any flexibility as regards converting a tourist visa to maybe work visa or EG visa or something when you are in the country already and maybe got a job offer?
Hi Timmy,
It’s our understanding that you can convert a Tourist (T) Visa within the first week of arriving in Cambodia, but that probably isn’t enough time for you to secure work unless you get quite lucky! Your best bet is to extend your Tourist (T) Visa for an additional 30 days. When your Tourist (T) Visa extension is up you will need to leave the country and you can try to get an Ordinary (E) Visa when you reenter. An Ordinary (E) Visa can be extended for 3 months, or if you have a job then you can get a Work Permit and extend your Ordinary (E) Visa for 6 or 12 months.
Hope that helps! Best of luck with your move!
Cheers,
Jen
Hi, we are needing some help. I am Khmer and my boyfriend is from the US. Our original plan was for him to apply 1 month on Tourist Visa, then apply for 3 months on Business Visa as my Khmer brother and I have a business we can claim him under. We have his Business Letter with stamp prepared already, however we have run into a giant problem- he can’t apply for the Business Visa.
My boyfriend is currently on a 1 month Tourist Visa, which was given to him by default on arrival through the Phnom Penh International Airport. When we went to the Department of Immigration today (2 weeks post arrival), we were informed that his visa could not be extended or changed; he cannot apply for a Business Visa/Ordinary Visa within the country and he would have to leave & return to Cambodia in order to apply for a Business Visa/Ordinary Visa. Apparently, he would have had to change his visa type within the first week he was here. We did not know this policy, as we read from many articles that Business Visas were “easily extendable” from within the country and his 1 month Tourist Visa is still active. I’m begging you for step-by-step travel advice to keep him legal in Cambodia until June 04, 2019 (our departure date). I read from another article that traveling to Vietnam by bus for 2 days and then returning to Cambodia via land border crossing will give him the opportunity to apply for the Ordinary Visa. Here are my questions I am hoping you can answer to save our sanity. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
-What requirements are needed to obtain a Vietnam Visa or will we even need one if we are only traveling there for 2 days? (I read on a previous article that you can receive 2 weeks for free…HOW?!)
-How much are Vietnam Visas for travel less than 2 weeks?
-I am Khmer, will I need a Vietnam Visa?
-Which land border crossing from Vietnam-Cambodia accepts applications for EB Visa/Ordinary Visa on spot? (We don’t want to leave Cambodia and pay for visas if Ordinary Visas aren’t even accepted by certain land border crossings…Defeats the purpose)
-Are there ANY other ways to change his Tourist Visa to an Ordinary Visa within Cambodia? We live in Kep, which is close to Vietnam and has busses going to and from HCMC as well as other parts of Vietnam, so if traveling to Vietnam is what we must do to keep him legal then by all means we will, IF its the last resort.
Please please help us, as his Tourist Visa expires on April 02, 2019. We are looking for ANY suggestions or solutions to keep him within the country for the full 3 months until June 04, 2019. Extra travel is stressful and expensive but we realistically see that we are in a sticky situation that may not have many solutions, so we appreciate the help we can get.
Hi Lyla,
Thanks for reaching out, happy to answer your questions. We were just in Kep a couple of days ago. What a beautiful place to live!
Unfortunately, that’s correct that a 1-month Tourist (T) Visa can only be extended for one month. The business visa is now called an Ordinary (E) Visa and can be selected by checking a box on the form when entering the country at land crossings or airports. We had no problem getting an Ordinary (E) Visa at the Bavet/Moc Bai land border crossing between Vietnam and Cambodia. The border crossing closest to Kep should offer the same options.
You won’t need any special forms for him to get an Ordinary (E) Visa. It’s also good for one month and he can extend it for three months without leaving the country. He can extend it by going to the immigration office himself or by going to a travel agent who can help for a small fee. Here are two articles we wrote about getting and extending a Cambodia visa: https://twocantravel.com/getting-a-cambodia-visa/ https://twocantravel.com/how-to-extend-a-cambodia-visa/
Some countries do get 2 weeks free in Vietnam, but unfortunately since your boyfriend is an American he will require a visa to go to Vietnam, even if it’s just for a couple of days. The most recent price we heard for the 1-month Vietnam visa for Americans is around $40. He can either go to Phnom Penh to the Vietnam Embassy to get his Vietnam visa, ask at a travel agency in Kep or Kampot about it, or get an e-visa. Here are articles we put together about how to get a Vietnam Visa: https://twocantravel.com/e-visa-vietnam-visa-on-arrival/ https://twocantravel.com/get-vietnam-visa-phnom-penh/
I think Cambodians only need a passport to enter Vietnam, but definitely double check that before you go!
Alternately he can go to Thailand, which is visa-free for 30 days for Americans. There are usually inexpensive round trip flights out of Phnom Penh to Bangkok, so that may be another option.
I hope that helps! Good luck and hope you guys can turn the visa run into a fun and not too costly trip!
All my best,
Jen
Good day. My husband wants to come to Cambodia and I’m planning to get him 6months visa extension after the one month e visa stay. Is it possible to get 6month extension in Siem reap airport without working permit. I am the one working and I’m thinking that I will provide a certificate of employment to show immigration that I can sponsor my husband. He will try his luck to find job during those 6 months.
Hi Angel, it’s our understanding that if it is your husband’s first time coming to Cambodia then he will be able to get an Ordinary (E) visa when he arrives and extend it for 6 months one time. After that, if he doesn’t have a work permit he’ll need to leave Cambodia and re-enter with a new Ordinary (E) visa which he can then extend for 3 months. Not sure about doing the extension at the airport. You may want to check with a travel agent in Siem Reap first.
Hi, I was a frequent visitor of Cambodia and used their 6month Business Visa Extensions a few times (to give me leeway to get back to Thailand without hassle).
So to read that this is no longer possible now came as quite a shock. However I could live with the current system as long as at least the 3 month extensions are still granted without the need for a work permit…I suppose that is the case as of time of your writing this article?
Hi Yves, yes that’s our understanding that 3-month visa extensions are still possible if you have an Ordinary (E) Visa.
Hello.. i just want to ask if can i extend my eb visa 2 months before it expire?
Im working here in cambodia and i have my vacation on may 11,2019 but my visa will expire on may 13,2019..im scared that i cant get my visa before my vacation because of the holidays this april and may..that’s why i want to ask if can i process it 2 months before my visa will expire?
Hi Charlene, the Ministry of Immigration will likely only be closed on the official government holidays. You should be able to get it done at the end of April before your trip.
Hi!
Thanks for your post. Quick question! I am in Phnom Penh right now. I inadvertently entered with a T visa I got from the website before my departure. I will need 10 days more than the 3 months they give.
1- Is it possible to extend the Tourist visa even if they say it is not? You seem to imply that. How exactly? You mention going to a travel agency?
2- How can I apply to a E (business) visa now that I am here already? This I suppose would be the way to get an extension: that’s what the officer told me when I got in.
I live near the airport.
Thanks again!!
Hi Jeff! It’s our understanding that a 1-month Tourist (T) visa can be extended for 1 more month. I don’t think you can extend a 3-month Tourist visa. You might still want to go into a travel agency to check on that and find out what your options are.
I believe the only way to get an Ordinary (E) visa now would be to leave the country and then get an E visa when you enter again instead of a T visa. Hope that helps! Let us know how it goes.
Yeah, I’m f**d… The guys at the airport told me to just go and ask for the business visa afterwards, but getting cannot be done without leaving the country. It is the first time in more than 30 years of visiting Cambodia that I have such a problem. I’m pretty upset…
So now I have to organise a trip to the border and reapply for a visa to enter.
Any advice as to how to do these?
Thanks again. I hope it helps others…
Hey Jeff, you could either fly or take a bus to cross a border and come back in. Stevo just crossed the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border between Bangkok and Siem Reap with Giant Ibis and that was very simple. They walked everyone on the bus through the whole thing. It’s quite a haul from Phnom Penh to Poipet if that’s where you’re coming from. There are also border crossings in Koh Kong and Pailin. Alternately you could also do a border run to Ho Chi Minh City. It’s better if you can cross and stay at least one day in another country before you return. You should be able to get the Ordinary (E) visa when you come back into Cambodia. Hope that helps and good luck.
Hi
I am an EU citizen,I have a Thai girl ( not merry )
(we are both in our 30 years so a retirment visa is not an option)
and we have a child who is a Thai citizen.
Rather, we are both unsuitable for working in Cambodia so no one will give us a work permit.
Is there a simple way for us to get 1 year’s visas that we could live a year in Cambodia without
any immigration problems?
As far as we know it’s not possible to stay long-term in Cambodia anymore without a work permit. You might look into other options such as student visas. Best of luck to your family!
I have a 12mth multiple entry visa, do i still need to leave the country and return during this time?
Hi Pedro, thanks for your question. Multiple-entry means you are able to leave the country and return with the same visa until it expires. But you don’t have to leave during that time if you don’t want to.
Hi Jennifer, I’m planning on doing a day trip to Khsar Prum to extend my Cambodian visa. Once I cross into Thailand do I need to get a Thai tourist visa, if I am only spending a few hours there before I re-enter Cambodia?
Hi Sarah, it depends what passport you hold whether you need a Thai visa. Americans and many other nationalities get 30 days visa-free entry into Thailand. If that’s the case for you then you would just get a stamp when you go through immigration into Thailand and another stamp when you leave, but no visa is required.
I’m going to Cambodia early next year and was planning to go to Thailand for few days and back to Cambodia again, what kind of visa should I get?
As far as we know there isn’t a tourist visa option that is multiple-entry, so you’d have to get a new tourist visa when you go back into Cambodia from Thailand.
Hey there!
At the moment, I am doing a 4-months internship with an NGO in Cambodia. I have entered the country 2 weeks ago with an ordinary tourist visa, which my HR Manager is currently extending for a further month. Within the 2 months, I now need to cross the border and re-enter the country to apply for a 3-months business visa. I understood, this type of visa doesn’t allow for multipe entries, but I want to spend christmas with a couple of friends in Thailand. What options do I have? Are they this strict and won`t let me in after the holidays? So would I need to apply for a new 3-months business visa again? Or shall I try to get a 6-months visa in the first place? Will I then need a work permit as I have been to Cambodia twice?
I would very much appreciate your help on this, thanks a lot!!
Hi Mara,
You are correct that if you have a single-entry visa then when you go to Thailand you won’t be able to re-enter Cambodia without a new visa. If you can get a 6-month multiple entry visa, that might be a better option. I’m not sure if you will be able to get it without a work permit though. You can check with the HR manager at your NGO about that. Otherwise, you can just get a new tourist or business visa when you come back to Cambodia after the holidays. Hope that helps!
I am planning to fly into Phnom Penh and I’m taking a one month TEFL certification course and then finding work. I’m flying from the US and on the US embassy website it says I need a letter from a place of work and onward travel. Is this correct? Will I have trouble applying for an ordinary visa on arrival without any paperwork except my passport and pictures. Great article. It was very helpful.
Hi Autumn, thanks for your question. As far as we have heard, you do not need a letter from a place of work or proof of onward travel to get an Ordinary (E) visa on arrival. If it is your first time in Cambodia you will be able to extend the (E) visa for 6 months, otherwise you can extend for 3 more months. Good luck with your TEFL course!
Actually the agency told me that any E visa obtained on arrival can be extended once for 6 months without the letter of work. So arrive in Cambodia – get E visa 1 month validity, and extend 6 months. After that have to leave the country, but when coming back can get a new 1 month E visa, and extend again 1 time for 6 months.
That’s good to hear! What we’d been told is that the 6 month extension is only if it’s your first time in Cambodia. Is that the case for you? It would be great if they have started allowing 6 month E visa extensions for everyone!
Thank you for all of this info! Question: I’m planning to stay 5/6 weeks in Cambodia so I’ll extend my visa while I’m there – what do I write on the arrival card for planned length of stay? 30days in line with the visa limit or be honest?
Hi Will! I would just write 30 days to play it safe. It probably wouldn’t matter though!
Hello,
I want to stay in Cambodia for 3 months, 2 months volunteering and 1 month exploring.
I found out that the best option is first 30 days ordinary visa and then extend for 3 months EB visa, right?
But you wrote that it’s only possible to extend for 6 or 12 months. Did the law change already? Could i extend it for 3 months? And are the costs for extention still $75-$80?
It is also possible to extend an Ordinary (E) visa for 3 months. As far as I know that is still the price of extension. With the new laws that went into effect in 2018 you can only extend for 6 or 12 months if you have a work permit.
I have a question about visa extension. I have just applied for a business visa (valid for 3 months) at the Consulate of Cambodia in HK. But I need a business visa valid for 6 months to be eligible to open an account with the local bank there so that I can make financial transactions on the Net. Do you think I can apply for extension of visa on arrival at the Phnom Penh airport?
Hi Lei, I don’t think that you can do visa extensions at the airport. I recommend that you ask at a travel agency when you arrive. Good luck!
I was in Cambodia two months ago on a tourist visa and I am now contemplating a retirement visa in Cambodia, what documentation is required. I am retired US Air Force with a monthly pension. Thank You
Hi Brendan, Here is the latest advice we have read about retirement visas: http://www.movetocambodia.com/planning-your-move-to-cambodia/cambodia-visas/
Hello Jennifer,
Thank you so much for taking the time to compile all of this information. I hope you might be able to help me out or point me in the right direction. I am volunteering at an orphanage in Anlong Veng. I have been crossing into Thailand with one of the owners every month and coming back to get a new visa each time so have had 3 in total. Obviously I have gone about this in the wrong way. I plan on staying for another 6 months or so and My visa is up again in a week. Is there anyway to convert a T visa to an E? Can I extend my most recent T visa for one month? Would it be as simple as to leave the country and apply for an E visa upon my return? Is it worthwhile to go to an agency in Siem Riep to get assistance. The big issue I’m having right now is getting conflicting information on what I should do and some say I have to leave the country for 15 days before re entering and I need to be here at the end of the month as we have donors coming into town. I’m sorry for all of the questions but sincerely appreciate any assistance you can give as I’m a bit desperate right now. Thanks so much!
Sorry, I forgot to ask? Is it best to start to apply for a work permit now similarly to how you instructed Chris below? This is a purely volunteer basis and will therefore be “self employed” and “freelance” I assume, correct? Thanks again Jennifer!
Hey Catherine!
To be completely honest, I’m not sure if you need a work permit as a volunteer, but I do know you technically need an Ordinary (E) visa to volunteer. The law is constantly changing, so it’s hard to keep up! You should be able to get an Ordinary (E) visa the next time you re-enter the country instead of a tourist visa. It should be $35 instead of $30, and they really don’t ask any questions in our experience. From there you can only get a 3 month extension of your visa, which you can do at a tourism agency in Siem Reap. Since you’ll only be in country for 6 more months you may not need to worry about the work permit at all. To be safe, I would check with the organization where you will be volunteering. Hope that helps! If you find out any information otherwise, please let us know. Cheers!
Jennifer, thank you so much for your prompt response! I was just worried that they would have an issue seeing that I have reentered 3 times in a row, but you don’t think that will be an issue? If that’s the case that is great news; I will just plan on crossing into Thailand over the next few days and applying for an E visa. Thanks again for your help!
Based on our experience, it should be fine! I haven’t heard of people having issues with coming in several times or switching to the E visa. Hope it all goes smoothly. Keep us posted!
Hi Jennifer,
Just wanted to thank you again for your advice and your site. Everything went fine as you had anticipated and I now have an E visa that I should be able to renew in a month. So all is good! Thanks again!
So glad to hear that! Thanks for the update, Catherine!
Hi Catherine, may I ask you a quick question as I am in a similar situation as you were. I am volunteering with an NGO in Phnom Penh and am in the process of extending my business visa for 3 more months, did you need a written letter from your charity in order to extend the visa?
p.s. thanks Jennifer for the very useful page!
Hello Jennifer
Thanks for your great site and information. A question….
I own my own business so am not looking for work, I just want to live in Cambodia. So if I get an Ordinary visa on arrival, then extend for 12 months, will I have any trouble extending again at the end of that year?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Chris, thanks for your comment!
It’s really hard to say at this point what will happen with visas in the future, as the rules seem to change every few months. If it is your first time entering Cambodia then we recommend getting the Ordinary (E) visa on arrival and extending for as long as you can (6 or 12 months). If it isn’t your first time in the country then you may only be allowed to extend it for 3 months without proof of a work permit. In that case, since you are self-employed you can apply for your Work Permit online at this website: https://fwcms.mlvt.gov.kh/ and enter “freelance” as both your employer and occupation, and your salary as 0. Hope that helps!
Hey there,
I have been in Cambodia for two weeks and will be here for two and a half months overall. On arrival, I requested an E-visa but was given a tourist visa by mistake (found it strange that the processing only took 2 minutes). I only realised a few days later and now am facing having to leave the country and come back over a weekend. Is there a way I can get an e-visa while Im already in the country/ other options besides bailing to Vietnam?
Thanks
Hey Emmy! You should be able to extend your Tourist visa for one more month. You can visit a travel agency in town, and they can help you out. Unfortunately you can only extend a tourist visa one time without leaving the country, so you’ll have to bail to Vietnam or somewhere else next month if you plan to stay longer. There are cheap flights to Malaysia on Air Asia!
Jennifer you need to correct your article. You have not researched this sufficiently. There are several options for the Ordinary (E) visa and it is still possible to get a 6 or 12 month EG visa without a work permit on the FIRST extension. All subsequent EB extensions will require a work permit.
Hi Philip, thank you for your message. I have been researching and updating this article every time I learn new information. I will look into what you have said as I hadn’t heard that yet. That would be great news!
Where do I go for extension of Visa in Siem Reap?
I don’t know any specific places n Siem Reap, but most travel agents will likely be able to help you. The website http://www.movetocambodia.com may have more advice!
Hi ,
Once we extend our visa for 6 months . Can we extend the visa again ?
I believe that with the new visa laws as of September 4, 2017 you can extend again as long as you have a Work Permit. I suggest that you double check that at a tourism agency.
Hi once we extend our visa for 6 mobths . Can it be extended again ?
As of now, it seems to depend on whether you have a work permit. If not, I think you would need to leave the country and get another E visa when you return, then check with a travel agency on whether you can extend for 3 months or 6 months.
I got a one month extension for $48 at a little booth near the corner of Street 130 and the riverside.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hello Jen and Stevo .. so glad I came across your website. We’re coming to Cambodia for the first time this year, and I’m just trying to get a handle in the visa situation. Can we come into Cambodia with a Tourist Visa .. then visit Vietnam for a month, and then come back into Cambodia on a new Tourist Visa?
Look forward to delving into your information about Cambodia… thanks! Jay
Hi Jay, thanks for reading! Yes, exactly what you said would be the best way to handle your visas for Cambodia. You can get Cambodian Tourist Visas on arrival at land border crossings or airports. Make sure you have a passport photo, $30USD cash, and at least 6 blank pages in your passport. Cheers! Jen
Thanks Jennifer … for the ordinary visa is there any documentation you need to show to verify that you’re eligible for this visa type?
Hi Jay. For most nationalities there is no documentation needed to show that you’re eligible for the Ordinary (E) visa when you first enter the country. When you want to extend your visa, however, there are some new restrictions that were put in place in September 2017. If it is your first Cambodia visa ever then you may extend your Ordinary (E) visa for 1, 3 or 6 months without proof of a Work Permit. If you have had a Cambodia visa before then you will need a Work Permit in order to extend for 6 or 12 months. Hope that helps!
I need multiple visa how can ???
6 or 12 month Ordinary (E) visas allow multiple entry. Based on the new visa laws as of September 4, 2017, you can only get a 6 or 12 month Ordinary (E) visa with a Work Permit.
I live in Japan but I plan on going to and from Cambodia over the next year. Can I apply for a multiple entry visa for 1 year online or do I need to go to the embassy? Last time I flew into Siem Reap the folks at the desk had no idea what I was talking about. Any advise you can give is greatly appreciated.
Hi Jeff! To my knowledge you cannot apply for a 1 year visa online. The only way I know of doing it is to enter the country on a 1 month Ordinary (E) visa, which you can get at the airport, then extend that for a 1 year Ordinary (E) visa at a travel agency once you are in Cambodia. The one year Ordinary (E) visa should be multiple entry. Hope that helps! If I find out any different information to that I’ll respond on this comment again.
Hello, I’m colombia, south america and I wonder if I can get the E(Ordinary visa) as well? or it depends where you are from? I would like to be there for like 3 months
According to this website Colombian nationals can get an (E) Ordinary Visa, formerly known as a Business Visa, on arrival in Cambodia. You can then extend the (E) Ordinary Visa for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. http://visamap.io/en/tourism/more/visa_requirements_for_Colombia_nationals_travelling_to_Cambodia
I have a question- I’m American , I got a visa extension for my E visa for a year but my passport book is stamped from the airport that I have to depart from the country on such and such date, do I have to still leave?? Because I have my extension already but the date that the stamp says concerns me… although my extension says 2018.. can u help????
Your 1-year E Visa overrides the stamp on the departure card, so no worries. You are okay to come and go from Cambodia until the date on your E Visa. Hope that helps!
