Do I need a visa for Cambodia from Belgium?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Yes, Belgian travellers need a visa for Cambodia. The easiest option is the tourist e-Visa, applied for online before departure.

Belgian nationals planning to visit Cambodia — the temples of Angkor, Phnom Penh or the Sihanoukville coast — must obtain a visa before travelling. The official e-Visa is applied for entirely online through the Cambodian government portal. A visa on arrival is offered at some entry points, but the e-Visa lets you skip the airport queues.

Do you need a visa?

Yes. Belgian citizens are not visa-exempt for Cambodia, so a tourist e-Visa is required. You apply online at evisa.gov.kh before you travel. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months.

How and where to apply

Apply through the official portal evisa.gov.kh: open an application, upload a photo and a copy of your passport, then pay online. Some international airports also grant a visa on arrival, but confirm your eligibility and favour the e-Visa for a smoother arrival.

Documents and fees

You will need a Belgian passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date, with blank pages, a recent passport photo and an address of stay in Cambodia. The fee and validity period are set by the official portal: check them when you apply, as they can change over time.

Processing and tips

Submit your application several working days before departure to absorb any processing delay. Print the e-Visa you receive by email and show it to immigration on arrival. Also check health requirements, in particular a yellow-fever certificate if you are arriving from an at-risk country.

Common mistakes

Refusals often stem from a passport valid for under 6 months, an application filed through an unofficial third-party site, or an e-Visa that was not printed for arrival. Make sure you are applying for a tourist visa and not a business visa.

Best time to travel

Cambodia has a tropical climate with a dry and a rainy season. The best time to visit is generally from November to February, when the weather is cooler and drier. It is advisable to avoid the rainy season, roughly from May to October, due to heavy rainfall and increased humidity.

Main arrival airports

The main international airports in Cambodia are Phnom Penh International Airport (Pochentong) and Siem Reap International Airport (Angkor). These airports handle most international flights and facilitate entry into the country. Other entry points include land borders, but they are less commonly used for international arrivals.

Documents to prepare

Travelers should have a valid passport with at least six months' validity beyond the planned entry date. A return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation or resources are required. Travel insurance covering medical expenses is highly recommended. Since the verified visa regime requires a consular visa, it must be obtained from the embassy or consulate before departure.
