Visa-free travel to Cambodia for Vietnamese citizens
Yes — Vietnamese citizens get 30-day visa-free entry to Cambodia under the ASEAN agreement. You don't need a visa, BUT you DO need the mandatory e-Arrival form filed within 7 days of arrival, now enforced at Tan Son Nhat (SGN), Noi Bai (HAN) and at the Moc Bai (Vietnam) / Bavet (Cambodia) land border — one of the busiest ASEAN-to-Cambodia crossings. We handle the e-Arrival filing FREE for ASEAN passport holders — submit your passport and arrival details from Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Can Tho or Moc Bai, and we return the QR-code confirmation by email. Vietnam is one of the largest ASEAN sources of inbound visitors and investors into Cambodia, with daily Vietnam Airlines, Bamboo Airways, VietJet Air and Cambodia Angkor Air rotations from SGN and HAN to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, plus a constant overland flow through Bavet.
Multiple entries are permitted within the visa-free window. No Cambodia visa application, no fees, no embassy queues. You walk up to the immigration desk, hand over your passport, and get stamped through.
What you still need before you fly:
Valid Vietnamese passport (6+ months from arrival)
Completed e-Arrival form (we handle this for you)
Return or onward travel ticket (sometimes spot-checked)
Proof of accommodation (occasionally requested)
We handle the e-Arrival form for you. It's the one piece most travellers miss, and Cambodian immigration won't let you through without it.

Why you're going
Things to Do in Cambodia for Vietnamese 旅客
Vietnamese travellers find Cambodia a natural overland continuation of the Mekong river story — the corridor from Ho Chi Minh City through Moc Bai-Bavet to Phnom Penh and onward to Kampong Cham, Kratie (Irrawaddy dolphins) and the 4,000 Islands of southern Laos echoes the Mekong Delta's own cultural sphere, and the growing Vietnamese business community in Phnom Penh anchors a familiar urban feel in BKK1 and along the riverfront. Plan 7–10 days to cover Angkor Wat at sunrise, Phnom Penh's Royal Palace and Tuol Sleng, and either a Mekong corridor stretch or a southern coast detour to Koh Rong.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
The world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most iconic site. Most visitors base themselves in Siem Reap for 2–3 days to explore the temple complex at sunrise.

Phnom Penh
Cambodia's capital blends French colonial architecture with vibrant street markets, the Royal Palace, and sobering history at the Killing Fields and S-21 museum.

Koh Rong Islands
Some of Southeast Asia's last undeveloped beaches. Accessible by ferry from Sihanoukville — no internal flights or extra visas needed.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Kampot & Kep

Pro tips
Cambodia Travel Tips for Vietnamese 公民
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.

Do Vietnamese citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
No. Vietnamese passport holders are visa-exempt for Cambodia for stays up to 30 days under the ASEAN agreement. You need a Vietnamese passport valid 6+ months, proof of onward travel, and the mandatory Cambodia e-Arrival form filed within 7 days before arrival.
How long can Vietnamese citizens stay in Cambodia visa-free?
Vietnamese passport holders can stay in Cambodia for up to 30 days per entry under the ASEAN visa exemption. Multiple entries within Vietnamese passport validity are allowed — supporting frequent HCMC-Phnom Penh business travel and tourism circuits.
Is the Cambodia e-Arrival form mandatory for Vietnamese travellers?
Yes. The Cambodia e-Arrival form (CeA) is mandatory for all Vietnamese travellers — even though visa-exempt. It is a pre-arrival online declaration covering immigration, customs, health, and tax. Submit within 7 days before arrival. We file it free for ASEAN citizens.
How do Vietnamese citizens cross the Moc Bai-Bavet land border into Cambodia?
ℹ️ Disclaimer: The total cost includes the official government fee paid to the Royal Government of Cambodia, plus our processing fee for expert application processing and 24/7 support. VisaToCambodia is an independent service — not affiliated with the Government of Cambodia. Applicants may also apply directly through the official Cambodian government portal at the base government rate.
Getting around
Tuk-tuks are everywhere — agree the fare first. The PassApp and Grab apps give metered, cashless rides in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Domestic flights link the major cities.
Vietnamese travellers cross the Moc Bai (Tay Ninh) - Bavet (Svay Rieng) checkpoint, the busiest and most popular Vietnam-Cambodia border. It's the main road link between Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh. Visa-free entry applies for Vietnamese passports, and the Cambodia e-Arrival form must be filed online before reaching the border.
Are there direct flights from Vietnam to Cambodia?
Yes. Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet, and Cambodia Angkor Air operate daily HCMC-Phnom Penh, HCMC-Siem Reap, and Hanoi-Siem Reap direct flights. Flight time is around 1 hour 15 minutes. The e-Arrival form is filed once online before boarding.
Can Vietnamese business travellers do meetings in Cambodia visa-free?
Yes. The 30-day visa-free ASEAN entry covers tourism and short business meetings (negotiations, conferences, exploratory visits). Vietnamese intending paid work, employment, or volunteer placement must apply in advance for an E-class (business) visa via the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
How can Vietnamese citizens extend their stay in Cambodia past 30 days?
The 30-day visa-free ASEAN entry cannot be extended in-country. Vietnamese wanting longer stays must either exit Cambodia (border run via Bavet) and re-enter to reset the 30 days, or apply in advance for a Cambodian tourist (T) or business (E) visa via the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the official eVisa portal.
Do Vietnamese children need their own Cambodia e-Arrival form?
Yes. Every Vietnamese traveller, including infants on a Vietnamese passport, needs an individual e-Arrival submission. We file family group submissions free for ASEAN passport holders — useful for the large number of Vietnamese families crossing at Bavet by bus on weekends.
