🇰🇭 Cambodia visa requirements for Afghan citizens
Afghan citizens can get a visa on arrival when entering Cambodia — no embassy visit needed beforehand.
Entry rules for Afghanistan passport holders
Afghan travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Cambodia. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Cambodia also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Cambodia immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
