Travelers will need a valid passport and a Cambodian visa to enter Cambodia. Tourist and business visas are valid for one month from the date of entry into Cambodia. Cambodia offers on-line visa processing. Forum Organizers highly recommend participants obtain an online visa ahead of your expected arrival in Cambodia. You may also apply in person at the Cambodian Embassy located closest to you. Travelers may also obtain a Cambodian visa at the airports in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and at all major border crossings. Cambodian immigration officials at airports now collect fingerprints upon entry using an inkless, electronic process. Please note, only US Dollars are accepted for visa on arrival.
