Do I need a visa for Cambodia from Switzerland?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Swiss citizens need a tourist visa for Cambodia. It is obtained online as an e-Visa through the official portal evisa.gov.kh, before departure.
For a tourist trip to Cambodia, Swiss travellers must obtain a visa before travelling. The simplest route is the e-Visa applied for on the official portal evisa.gov.kh, which avoids queues and cash payments at the border. A visa on arrival may exist at some entry points, but the prior e-Visa is more predictable; check the exact fee on the official portal.
Do you need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes. A Swiss passport does not allow visa-free entry to Cambodia for tourism. The recommended route is the e-Visa (electronic tourist visa) applied for online before departure. Depending on the entry point, a visa on arrival may also be available, but it is better not to depend on it for a first trip.
How and where to apply
The application is made online, from Switzerland, on the official portal evisa.gov.kh before travelling. You fill in the form, upload a passport photo and your passport page, then pay the fee by card. Once approved, the e-Visa is emailed to you: print it and present it to immigration on arrival.
Documents and fees
Bring a Swiss passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date, with blank pages for the sticker. You also need a recent digital passport photo and often proof of accommodation or an onward ticket. This guide does not guarantee the visa amount: check the current official fee on evisa.gov.kh before confirming payment.
Processing time and practical tips
Processing time is not fixed: apply several days before departure to absorb any delays. Check that the entry point on your itinerary accepts the e-Visa (some land crossings do not recognise it). Always print your e-Visa, as immigration officers usually ask for a paper version on arrival.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal evisa.gov.kh: many third-party sites charge extra fees with no added value. Make sure the chosen entry point is among those that accept the e-Visa, otherwise you risk refusal. Finally, check your passport validity (at least 6 months) and the accuracy of your details before submitting the application.
