Do Canadians need a visa for Cambodia?

Do Canadians need a visa for Cambodia? Ugh, right? It’s a whole thing. The short answer is yes, we do. But honestly, it’s not the end of the world. I mean, it’s not like getting a visa for Russia or something, which I heard is a nightmare. Remember my friend Sarah’s story? She spent like, three weeks trying to get her Russian visa sorted out. Never again!

Cambodia’s visa process is manageable, thankfully. You can get a 30-day tourist visa, but thirty days? Seriously? That feels incredibly short, especially when you consider the flight time alone! I was hoping for at least a month and a half, just to be safe. Plus, you’ve got to pay in cash – always a pain. And don’t even get me started on needing a passport photo. Like, I swear, I have a million photos, but never the right one, you know?

So, yeah, plan ahead! Don’t be like me, frantically searching for a photo booth the day before your flight. (That was a fun five hours of my life, not). Seriously, you want to enjoy your trip to Cambodia, not spend it stressing over paperwork. Make sure you’ve got the right kind of photo, enough cash, and ideally, a few extra days tacked onto your visa if you can manage it. You’ll thank me later.
