Arriving at the airport

When you arrive at Phnom Penh Airport, please proceed to the visa area.

Fill in a visa form and hand it to the visa counter with your passport photo and passport. You should apply for an Ordinary visa (E-class) if you are doing volunteer or intern projects. Wait 5 minutes for your visa to be processed. They will call your name, at which stage you will collect your passport and pay the visa fee.

Then collect your luggage and proceed to the exit where a member of our staff will be waiting for you.
