Travel Formalities

PASSPORT & VISA

A passport and visa are required for entry into Cambodia. Visas can be applied for and issued upon arrival at either Pochentong (Phnom Penh) or Siem Reap Airport for US$ 20.00. Please note that it is not possible to receive a visa upon arrival at any other entry point. In the case of a land crossing into Cambodia a visa must be acquired beforehand at a Cambodian Embassy or Consulate.

Note: Two passport-size photos are needed for visa processing.

AIRPORT TAX (as of September 2004)

International Airport Tax (Phnom Penh & Siem Reap): US$ 25.00 per person.

Domestic Airport Tax (Phnom Penh & Siem Reap): US$ 6.00 per person.

DISEMBARKATION

On the plane, the passenger will be given two forms to complete:

Entry / Exit Card

This card is divided into two parts, both of which must be completed. The officer will take one half and staple the other into the passport for use when the passenger departs.

Customs Declaration Form

This card should be filled out before arrival at the airport.

In the airport, the passenger will get a visa application form.

VISA APPLICATION FORM

The passenger hands over the completed application form together with a photo and the passport to a visa officer. Once the application is approved and passport stamped, the US$20.00 fee is paid.

IMMIGRATION

At immigration, the passenger presents the passport and immigration card then proceeds to the luggage belt.

MEET & GREET

In Phnom Penh, our welcome person will greet the passenger at the luggage belt and after the luggage pick-up they will proceed together towards customs. In Siem Reap, the welcome person must wait outside the customs checkpoint.

CUSTOMS

The customs officer will check the completed customs form and the passport. Luggage is placed on an x-ray machine. After passing all luggage (including hand luggage, handbags, etc.) through the machine, the passenger will be met by our guide.
