Do I need a visa for Cambodia from United Kingdom?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
British passport holders need a visa to enter Cambodia, but they can obtain it online before departure through the official e-Visa portal.
British travellers heading to Cambodia for tourism must hold an entry visa. The most convenient option is the electronic visa (e-Visa), applied for online from the United Kingdom; a visa on arrival is also available at major entry points. Check the official portal for the current fee and validity period.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. UK passport holders are not exempt and must obtain a tourist visa for Cambodia. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry and have blank pages.
How and where to apply
From the United Kingdom, apply online at the official portal evisa.gov.kh before you travel: complete the form, upload a passport photo and your passport, then pay by card. Alternatively, a visa on arrival is offered at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports and at some land border crossings.
Documents and fees
Have a passport valid for 6 months, a recent digital passport photo and your travel details ready. The exact fee and validity are not confirmed here: rely on the amount shown on the official portal at the time you apply.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several days before departure to absorb any processing delay. Print or save the e-Visa approval and present it to immigration on arrival. Make sure the names you enter match your passport exactly.
Common mistakes
Never use middleman sites that imitate the official portal and charge inflated fees. Avoid a passport with under 6 months of validity or a blurry photo, both common causes of refusal. Do not rely on visa on arrival if your airline requires a visa before boarding.
