Cambodia Airports & Land Borders: 2026 Arrival Guides

Every port of entry into Cambodia has specific 2026 document rules. Flying into Phnom Penh Techo International (KTI), Siem Reap Angkor (SAI), or Sihanoukville (KOS) requires both a Cambodia eVisa ($80 Tourist / $90 Business) and a mandatory Cambodia e-Arrival Card QR code ($20 / $35 / $60) to generate your digital v-Pass. Crossing overland from Vietnam (Bavet) or Laos (Dom Kralor) requires only a printed Cambodia eVisa — while all Thailand–Cambodia land borders remain closed.

Travelling overland from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) or the 4,000 Islands / Pakse (Laos)? Both Bavet and Trapeang Kriel / Dom Kralor accept the Cambodia eVisa ($80 Tourist / $90 Business).

Frequently Asked Questions

Cambodia Airports, Land Borders & Entry Rules FAQ

Direct answers on KTI vs PNH, SAI Angkor transfers, open Vietnam/Laos land borders, and closed Thailand crossings.

Which Cambodia airports and land borders accept the Cambodia eVisa in 2026?

In 2026, the Cambodia eVisa ($80 USD Tourist / $90 USD Business) is accepted at all three international airports — Phnom Penh Techo International Airport (KTI), Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI), and Sihanoukville International Airport (KOS) — as well as two open international land borders: Bavet – Moc Bai (from Vietnam) and Trapeang Kriel / Dom Kralor (from Laos). All Thailand–Cambodia land borders (including Poipet and Cham Yeam / Hat Lek) are closed in 2026.

Where is the Cambodia e-Arrival Card QR code required in 2026?

The Cambodia e-Arrival Card ($20 USD Standard, $35 USD Rush, or $60 USD Super Rush) is mandatory for 100% of international air passengers landing at Phnom Penh (KTI), Siem Reap (SAI), or Sihanoukville (KOS), including visa-exempt ASEAN citizens and infants. It is not required when crossing overland at the Bavet (Vietnam) or Dom Kralor (Laos) land borders.

Did Techo International Airport (KTI) replace Phnom Penh Airport (PNH)?

Yes. In September 2025, Phnom Penh Techo International Airport (IATA: KTI) permanently replaced the legacy Pochentong airport (IATA: PNH). All flights into Cambodia’s capital now land at KTI, located 35 kilometres south of central Phnom Penh.

Can I cross overland from Thailand into Cambodia at Poipet or Hat Lek in 2026?

No. All overland border checkpoints between Thailand and Cambodia — including Poipet / Aranyaprathet and Cham Yeam / Hat Lek (Koh Kong) — are closed in 2026. Travellers coming from Bangkok, Phuket, or Chiang Mai must fly into KTI or SAI with an e-Arrival QR code and an eVisa.

What is the Cambodia digital v-Pass and which ports issue it?

The digital v-Pass (Virtual Pass) is Cambodia’s electronic entry record that replaced physical ink arrival stamps at international airports. When you clear immigration at KTI, SAI, or KOS with your passport, eVisa, and e-Arrival QR code, your v-Pass is sent directly to your email address. Land borders at Bavet and Dom Kralor continue to issue physical ink passport stamps.

Do I need a portrait photo or hotel booking to apply for my Cambodia eVisa?

No. When you apply through VisaToCambodia.com, you only need a clear photo or scan of your passport bio page (valid for at least 6 months). No separate portrait photo upload, flight ticket, or hotel confirmation is required.

Ready to Clear Cambodia Immigration Without Queues?

Apply online with just your passport bio page — no portrait photo or hotel voucher upload required. Bundle your Cambodia eVisa ($80 Tourist / $90 Business) and mandatory Cambodia e-Arrival Card QR ($20 Standard / $35 Rush / $60 Super Rush).
