Cambodia visa quick facts for Iranian citizens
Yes, Iranian citizens need a visa — but not one we can sell you. We can't file a Cambodia eVisa for Iran passport holders. Apply at a Cambodian embassy or consulate, and ask them whether a visa on arrival is open to you. We would rather tell you that plainly than take your money for an application we can't file.

Pro tips
Cambodia travel tips for Iranian citizens
Currency
US dollars are used everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. Bring clean, untorn notes; change under $1 comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to February is dry and cooler. April is the hottest month; the rains run June to October.
Connectivity
A tourist SIM is $2–3 from Metfone or Smart at the airport. Coverage is good in cities and at the temples.
Health
No vaccinations are required for entry. Travel insurance is sensible — medical care outside Phnom Penh is limited.
Keep your e-Arrival QR
After you submit the free e-Arrival card, save or screenshot its QR code. Printing it is fine too.
Getting around
PassApp and Grab work in the cities. Tuk-tuks are cheap but agree the fare before you set off.
Frequently asked
Cambodia visa FAQ for Iranian citizens
Can Iranian citizens get a Cambodia eVisa?
Not through us. We can't file a Cambodia eVisa for Iran passport holders. Apply at a Cambodian embassy or consulate instead.
Can Iranian citizens get a visa on arrival instead?
Possibly. Cambodia offers visa on arrival at its international airports and open land crossings, but no official list says which passports qualify. Ask the Cambodian embassy before you fly, and don't travel without a confirmed route.
What does the embassy need?
Each embassy sets its own list. Contact the Cambodian embassy or consulate that covers where you live for the current requirements before you book travel.
Do Iranian citizens still need the e-Arrival card?
Yes. Everyone entering Cambodia files it, whatever visa they hold. It is free at arrival.gov.kh.
