Cambodia entry rules for travellers from South Korea
South Korean citizens visiting Cambodia for Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh or the coast should check visa requirements before departure. Ordinary Republic of Korea passport holders generally need a visa, so confirm the current rules before choosing a Cambodia eVisa or visa on arrival.
This information covers visa options for South Korean travellers, nationality selection, passport name details, the free e-Arrival Card, the Cambodian Embassy in Seoul and entry points. Use the nationality that matches your passport and check entry requirements before travelling.
Do South Korean citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
South Korean citizens generally need a valid visa to visit Cambodia. A standard tourist eVisa allows single entry and a stay of up to 30 days. Its validity period is separate from the permitted stay, so check the dates on your approval before travelling.
Travellers who want to stay longer should check whether an extension is available through Cambodian immigration before their authorised stay ends.
Select Korea (Republic of Korea) on the application
Choose Korea (Republic of) when applying with a South Korean passport. Do not select the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which refers to North Korea. Check the nationality and passport details before submitting your Cambodia visa application.
