Cambodia visa for Pakistani passport holders

Cambodia doesn't give Pakistanis a visa on arrival. Apply for the tourist e-visa, Visa T, before you travel.

It costs USD 30, allows one entry and a stay of up to 30 days, and usually arrives within three business days.

Everyone, including e-visa holders, also has to fill in the free Cambodia e-Arrival form within seven days before landing.

What to have ready

  • Tourist e-visa (Visa T) from the official portal; processing 3 business days
  • Cambodia e-Arrival form within 7 days before arrival (required for all travellers)
  • Enter only through e-visa ports: Techo (KTI), Siem Reap Angkor (SAI), Sihanoukville (KOS) airports, or Bavet / Tropaeng Kreal land borders

Poipet and Cham Yeam land borders are temporarily closed for e-visa entry. Overstay fine US$10 per day.

Some websites say Pakistanis can get a visa on arrival in Cambodia. Official tourism information lists Pakistan among nationalities that must get a visa before travel, so apply for the e-visa first.
