Malaysia to Cambodia visa requirements

Malaysian ordinary passport holders can travel to Cambodia visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism. No visa is needed in advance. You must, however, submit the Cambodia e-Arrival Card online within 7 days before arrival. As fellow members of ASEAN, Malaysia and Cambodia maintain a reciprocal visa-exemption arrangement. Holders of an ordinary Malaysian passport may enter Cambodia without a visa and stay for up to 30 days per entry for tourism or short visits — this is among the most generous ASEAN allowances (compared with 14 days for Brunei/Myanmar and 7 days for Thailand). The passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry and have at least one blank page; proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds may be requested. Since January 2025, all travelers arriving by air must complete the free Cambodia e-Arrival Card online within 7 days before arrival — this is a digital arrival declaration, not a visa. Travelers who need more than 30 days, or who simply prefer to arrange paperwork in advance, can instead apply for the Cambodia e-Visa (single entry, 30-day stay) or obtain a visa on arrival, but neither is required for a standard short tourist trip. The 30-day visa-free entry remains the correct and recommended channel as of mid-2026.
