  • Passport Photos: Two recent color passport-sized photos (35mm x 45mm or 2in x 2in) with a white background.

  • Return Ticket: Proof of a return or onward ticket is generally required to demonstrate your intention to leave Cambodia.

Visa on arrival

  • Steps:
  • 1. Disembark your flight or arrive at the land border crossing.
  • 2. Proceed to the immigration counter. Look for the 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Visa Application' section.
  • 3. Present your passport and completed application form (provided by immigration officials).
  • 4. Submit your passport photos.
  • 5. Pay the visa fee. Accepted currencies are typically USD. Smaller denominations are preferred. Ensure your USD bills are clean and undamaged.

  • 7. Collect your passport and proceed to immigration clearance.
  • Fee and Accepted Currencies: The standard fee for a Tourist Visa is USD 30. For an Ordinary Visa (Business), it's USD 35. It's best to have exact USD cash as change may not be readily available.
  • Queue Tips: During peak hours, queues can be long. Have all your documents ready to expedite the process. Some travelers suggest having small USD bills for potential 'tips' to speed up processing, though this is not officially endorsed.

Fees & Processing Time

  • Visa Fee: USD 30 for a Tourist Visa, USD 35 for an Ordinary (Business) Visa.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: Not applicable for Visa on Arrival. Fees are paid directly to immigration officials.
  • Total Cost Estimate: USD 30-35 per person.
  • Standard Processing Time: Visa issuance is typically immediate upon successful application and payment at the port of entry, usually within 15-30 minutes, depending on the queue.
  • Express/Priority Option: There is no formal express or priority service for Visa on Arrival. Processing is generally efficient if all documents are in order.

Tips for Algeria Travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: You do not need to apply in advance for a Visa on Arrival. All necessary steps are completed at the port of entry.
  • Common rejection reasons for Algeria applicants specifically: There are no specific rejection reasons unique to Algeria citizens for Visa on Arrival, provided they meet the general requirements: valid passport, sufficient funds, return ticket, and no adverse immigration history. Incomplete applications or insufficient documentation are common reasons for delays or refusal.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Visa on Arrival is the most convenient method for short stays. If you require a longer-term visa or have complex travel plans, applying at a Cambodian embassy or consulate in advance might be an option, but for most Algeria citizens traveling for tourism or short business trips, Visa on Arrival is the standard and recommended route.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the latest travel advisories from your country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (https://www.mfaic.gov.kh/) before your trip. As of current knowledge, there are no specific bilateral notes that negatively impact Algeria citizens regarding visa requirements for Cambodia beyond the standard Visa on Arrival process.
  • Extension options inside Cambodia: If you have an Ordinary Visa (obtained on arrival as a business visa), you can extend your stay in Cambodia. Extensions are processed at the General Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh. Tourist visas are generally not extendable, or extensions are very limited and difficult to obtain.
