What documents do I need to enter Cambodia?

Okay, so you’re planning a trip to Cambodia? Awesome! Let’s talk about the documents you’ll need. From my understanding – and trust me, I’ve been there, messed things up, and learned the hard way! – if you’re a US citizen, the very first thing, like, the absolute non-negotiable thing, is your passport.

Seriously, check that expiration date! I’ve heard horror stories of people getting turned away at the airport because their passport was expiring in, like, a month. You typically need at least six months of validity left on it, so double-check, triple-check, okay? You don’t want that to ruin your trip before it even starts!

Then comes the tricky part: the visa. Now, this depends on why you’re going. Are you just backpacking and checking out Angkor Wat? Then you’re probably looking at a tourist visa. Easy peasy. But, if you’re heading over for business meetings or some other professional gig, you’ll need a business visa. Getting the wrong one could cause major headaches, trust me. Can you imagine being stuck at the airport because of a visa mix-up? No thanks!

I remember this one time, I was traveling in Southeast Asia, not Cambodia, but still, I almost got caught out because I hadn’t properly researched the visa requirements. It was close! Luckily, I managed to sort it out just in the nick of time. But it taught me a valuable lesson: always, always double-check your documents before you go! So, do your research and figure out which visa is right for your trip. It’ll save you a lot of stress in the long run, and maybe even a missed flight or two!
