Do I need a visa for Germany from Cambodia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cambodian nationals must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Germany. An ordinary Cambodian passport does not allow visa-free entry to the Schengen Area.
Germany applies the common Schengen visa policy, and Cambodia is among the visa-required nationalities. A tourist stay is limited to 90 days within any 180-day period. A German visa permits movement across the Schengen Area as long as Germany remains the main destination of the trip.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Cambodian traveller going to Germany for tourism, a visit or a short business trip must apply for a Type C Schengen visa. Germany must be your main destination — the country where you spend the most nights, or your first point of entry in case of a tie — for the German mission to handle your application.
How and where to apply
Cambodian residents generally apply at the German Embassy in Phnom Penh or its external service provider. Book an appointment through the portal listed on auswaertiges-amt.de, complete the online form, then attend in person to submit documents and give your fingerprints.
Documents and fees
Gather the signed application form, a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned return with two blank pages, two biometric photos, travel insurance covering at least €30,000, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation and evidence of financial means. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult; confirm the amount and payment method with the embassy in Phnom Penh.
Processing and practical tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply up to six months before departure and no later than 15 days ahead. Appointment slots in Phnom Penh can be limited in peak season, so book early. A complete file and a consistent itinerary reduce the chance of requests for extra documents.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not apply for a German visa if most of your stay is in another Schengen country. Avoid insurance below the €30,000 threshold, a passport with too little validity or no free pages, and unconfirmed reservations. Do not pay for non-refundable tickets before the consular decision.
