Detailed Overview of Cambodia Visa for Indian Citizens
Indian citizens need a visa to enter Cambodia, and the country offers simple, traveller-friendly options including e-Visa, Visa on Arrival, and Embassy Visa. The most popular option is the Cambodia e-Visa, which allows Indians to apply online by uploading a passport scan, photo, and basic travel details; once approved, the e-Visa is emailed within 3–5 working days. It is typically valid for 30 days, with single entry, and must be used within 90 days from the date of issue. For those who prefer to obtain the visa after landing, Cambodia also provides Visa on Arrival at international airports such as Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville. Travellers need to carry a valid passport, a passport-size photo, and visa fee in USD, and the visa is issued in about 10–15 minutes. Both e-Visa and Visa on Arrival allow a stay of up to 30 days, which can sometimes be extended within Cambodia. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of arrival, and travellers might be asked to show proof of accommodation, return tickets, and sufficient funds. Cambodia’s visa system is straightforward, affordable, and designed to support easy tourism, making it one of Southeast Asia’s most accessible destinations for Indian travellers.
