Cambodia for Thais 2026: Visa-Free Short Visits, but Complete Cambodia e-Arrival First
Thai passport holders visiting Cambodia for short tourism are visa-exempt under ASEAN arrangements (confirm the permitted stay with official sources before travel). International-air arriving passengers should check the requirement to complete the Cambodia e-Arrival form, which combines immigration, customs and health information, only via www.arrival.gov.kh or the Cambodia e-Arrival app. Cambodia's General Department of Immigration states there is no service fee for filling it in; sites charging money are not official.
We do not publish company service prices. Ask our team for a case-specific quotation; official fees remain those announced by the authority on the filing date.
A declaration is neither a visa nor an open-border confirmation
An e-Arrival confirmation does not extend a permitted stay or prove that a land crossing is open. Confirm the actual entry point and current official instructions rather than applying airport guidance to every border.
Check passport number, arrival date and entry mode on your own confirmation. If plans change, consult arrival.gov.kh for correction instructions. Government submission terms do not make company assistance unpaid: contact staff for a quotation before commissioning a review.
Do Thais need a visa for Cambodia?
