Do I need a visa for Cambodia from Germany?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, German citizens need a tourist visa for Cambodia. The most convenient option is the e-Visa applied for online before departure; a visa on arrival is also offered at certain entry points.
For a tourist trip to Cambodia, German travellers must obtain a visa. The simplest option is the e-Visa, applied for online through the official portal evisa.gov.kh with card payment. Visa on arrival remains available at the main airports and some land borders, but the e-Visa obtained in advance avoids queues and cash payments at the border.
Do you need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes. A German passport does not allow visa-free entry to Cambodia for tourism. Travellers from Germany can choose between the tourist e-Visa, applied for online in advance, and the visa on arrival (VoA) obtained at an eligible entry point. In both cases it is a short-stay tourist visa.
How and where to apply
For the e-Visa, go to the official portal https://www.evisa.gov.kh, complete the form, upload a passport photo and your passport page, then pay the fee online by card; the authorisation is sent by email and must be printed. For the visa on arrival, you fill in the form at the immigration counter, with a photo and payment on the spot. We advise German travellers to favour the e-Visa before departure for greater peace of mind.
Documents and fees
Bring a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date, with a blank page for the sticker or stamp. A recent passport photo is required (digital for the e-Visa, printed for the VoA), along with proof of accommodation. The visa fee and its validity are not fixed here: check the current amount directly on evisa.gov.kh before paying.
Processing and practical tips
No processing time is guaranteed: apply for your e-Visa a few days before departure so the authorisation arrives in time. If you choose the visa on arrival, carry US dollars (USD) in cash and in good condition, plus a passport photo, as these are often required at the counter. Finally, check health requirements, in particular yellow fever if you arrive from a risk country.
Common mistakes and good to know
Beware of sites imitating the official portal: the e-Visa application is made only on evisa.gov.kh. Confirm that your specific entry point actually issues the visa on arrival, as not all of them do. Finally, check your passport validity (at least 6 months) and the accuracy of the data entered, as an error can lead to a refusal at boarding as well as on arrival.
