United Arab Emirates to Cambodia visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders need a visa for Cambodia. The simplest route is the official Cambodia e-Visa (Type T tourist), applied for online before travel. Visa on arrival is also available at major airports and land crossings. The United Arab Emirates is not on Cambodia's visa-exemption list, so Emirati travelers require a Cambodian visa. The recommended pre-arranged option is the official Cambodia e-Visa (Type T tourist) obtained at evisa.gov.kh: it grants a single entry with a 30-day stay and is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, processed in about 3 business days. The Royal Government of Cambodia reduced the Tourist e-Visa (T) fee from US$36 to US$30 effective 1 January 2025, so the tourist e-Visa and tourist visa on arrival are both US$30 in current official guidance. UAE MoFA lists normal UAE passports as eligible for visa on arrival, with tourism stays of 30 days extendable upon request and passport validity of at least 6 months. Separately, travelers must submit the free Cambodia e-Arrival (CeA) card within 7 days before arrival; this is a digital declaration, not a visa. Cambodia is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
