Our guide to the Cambodia visa from Canada
Yes, travelers from Canada need a visa to enter Cambodia, but they can obtain it on arrival, at the visa counter of the point of entry, after filling in a form and paying the fee. It allows a stay of up to 30 days.
Canadians do not need to complete any consular procedure before a short stay in Cambodia: the application is made on site, by filling in a form and paying the fee at the counter. As conditions and fees may change, check them before departure with the Embassy of Cambodia or another official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A visa is mandatory for holders of a Canadian passport, but it does not have to be requested in advance: it is issued on arrival in Cambodia, at the dedicated counter. It allows a stay of up to 30 days. Before leaving, confirm these conditions with an official source, as they can change.

- 3Complete the form at the dedicated counter after landing.
- 4Pay the fee and collect the sticker before immigration control.
Another route is open to your nationality: Cambodia e-Visa, applied for online before departure.
How to apply
On arrival, head to the visa counter before passport control. Hand in the completed application form, your passport and, if requested, an ID photo, then pay the fee. Once the visa has been placed in your passport, you proceed to immigration control, where the officer may ask about the purpose and length of your stay.
Where do you apply for a visa for Cambodia from Canada?
A visa on arrival for Cambodia is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Canada on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Canada but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does a visa for Cambodia take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Through the online application (Cambodia e-Visa): 3 business days.
Processing times and tips
Waiting time at the counter varies with the number of travelers and flight arrival times. Keep your documents within reach on the plane to save time. If you plan to enter by land, confirm beforehand with an official source that your border crossing issues this visa. Note the end date of your stay, which cannot exceed 30 days, to avoid overstaying.

Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
Common mistakes
Arriving without cash or an ID photo can delay the issuance of the visa. Another mistake is paying an online intermediary for a so-called “guaranteed visa” when the procedure is carried out at the official counter on arrival. Finally, do not confuse the 30-day stay with the visa’s validity, and do not stay beyond the authorized date.

Tips to extend your stay in Cambodia
- Request the extension of your tourist or business visa at least one week before expiration.
- Use local specialized agencies to facilitate extension procedures.
- Always keep a copy of your passport and visa when traveling.
- Prepare USD cash for extension fees, as electronic payments are rarely accepted.
A tourist arriving with a 30-day tourist visa can request an additional 30-day extension at the Phnom Penh immigration office, paying about 30 USD in cash, allowing a total stay of 60 days.
