Do I need a visa for Italy from Cambodia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cambodian passport holders must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling to Italy for tourism. The adult fee is usually €90, with processing typically taking 15–45 days.
Cambodia is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list, so a tourist trip to Italy requires a Type C visa issued before you depart. Because Italy is your main destination, you apply through the Italian consular network responsible for Cambodia. Allow several weeks of lead time.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Cambodian travellers are not visa-exempt for the Schengen Area and must obtain a Type C tourist visa for Italy. It allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Italy must be your main destination (longest stay) or first point of entry for the application to fall to the Italian authorities.
How and where to apply
Lodge the application at the Italian consulate responsible for Cambodia or at its authorised visa collection partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact, depending on the current arrangement). You book an appointment, complete the Schengen visa application form, then attend in person to give biometrics. Confirm the exact channel and centre address with the official source before travelling to submit.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure with two blank pages, the signed application form, a recent compliant photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, a return ticket, evidence of sufficient funds and an itinerary. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult; confirm the exact amount and payment method on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Processing most often takes 15–45 days. You may apply up to six months ahead and no later than 15 working days before departure. In peak tourist season appointment slots fill quickly, so book early and assemble a complete, consistent file to avoid requests for additional documents.
Common mistakes
Frequent pitfalls: applying through the wrong consular country, buying insurance below €30,000 or not covering the whole trip, presenting a passport with insufficient validity, or naming Italy as the destination when you spend more time in another Schengen country. An itinerary that does not match your bookings is a common ground for refusal.
