In Cambodia a visa is required, this is valid for 30 days. You can apply for the visa via the government website (https://www.evisa.gov.kh/). The costs for this are €35,- pp (2025).

Please note that not all border crossings accept an e-visa. In this case, you can apply for a visa on arrival. For this you need a valid passport and passport photo. But be careful! At the border crossing between Thailand and Cambodia, people want to sell you a visa that is not valid. Therefore, always apply for a visa in the government building.
