For most nationalities, one-mont tourist visa are available on arrival at Siem Reap and Phnom Penh Airports and all land border crossings. Unfortunately, except at the ariports and the land crossings with Vietnam, overcharging is rampant, and uniformed Cambodian border officials-and touts who work with them - are often very creative in compelling travelers to pay more than official  rates.

 At land crossing from Thailand, visas are available at Poipet Banteay Meanchey and Cham Yeam (Koh Kong province). Visitors who enter from Vietnam through Bavet (VN: Moc Bai) or Ka-Om Samnor (VN: Chao Doc) will need to have already obtained their visas prior to their arrival through a Cambodian Embassy or Consulate overseas. Tourists also can obtain visa through the online E-Visa.

Some nationalities are required to get visa in advance at Royal Embassy of Kingdom of Cambodia in their country: Afghanistan, Algeria, Arab Saudi, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Nigeria.

WARNING SCAMS AT THE BORDER:
Scams (border officials demanding extra money) occur at the overland border crossings. Keep smiling and refuse to pay extra! No problems at the airports.

The most consistently reported scam at the border is being overcharged. At the Thai border crossings Cambodian immigration usually charges 1200-1500 baht for a tourist visa and refuse dollars. This is a significantly higher than the official rate. You might have success by being politely insistent and just pay the official price in dollars. If you don’t want any hassle: get an e-visa in advance.
When immigration officials charge an extra fee for an exit stamp, or for a ‘Health Form’, just politely ask for a receipt. They will usually back off. Never plainly refuse or get angry, because that will get you nowhere.

E-VISA
You can now also apply online for a so-called e-Visa. You need to scan your passport and passport size photo. Payment is by credit card: US$35 for a 40 day tourist visa. The e-visa is issued by email and you can print it from from your computer.

ONLY APPLY for an e-visa via the official government website. There are a few other websites offering Cambodian e-visa, but they are fraudulent!

VISA EXTENSION:
The tourist (T) and business (E) visas can be extended at the Immigration Department, National Police, but any travel agency will do it much quicker for a small fee. A tourist visa can be extended only once for up to one month (single entry). Overstayers will be fined USD 5 per day.
