Whether you choose the e-Visa (USD 36, applied online) or the visa on arrival (USD 30, at the airport), the requirements are minimal and the same for virtually all nationalities. This guide provides the complete document checklist, a detailed fee breakdown, photo specifications, and the step-by-step process to get your Cambodia visa from Dubai in 2026.

USD to AED conversion: USD 1 = approximately AED 3.67 (February 2026). Cambodia's economy is heavily dollarised — USD is widely accepted alongside the Cambodian Riel (KHR).
Cambodia offers some of the most affordable visa fees in Asia. At USD 30-36 for a tourist visa, it compares favourably to destinations like Japan (no visa fee for many nationalities), Thailand (THB 2,000 / ~AED 220 for visa-required nationalities), and India (USD 25-80 depending on visa type). The e-Visa's USD 6 premium over the VOA price is worth paying for the convenience of pre-approval.
Cambodia Visa Photo Specifications
Cambodia has straightforward photo requirements for visa applications. Whether you are applying online or at the airport, your photo must meet these specifications.
- Size: 4 cm wide x 6 cm tall (slightly larger than standard 35x45mm passport photos)
- Background: White or light-coloured background
- Face: Full face visible, looking directly at camera, neutral expression
- Glasses: Remove glasses for the photo

- Format (e-Visa): JPEG file, under 1MB, uploaded during online application
- Format (VOA): Physical printed photo, 4x6 cm
- Recency: Taken within the last 6 months
Photo Tips for Dubai Applicants
- Note the 4x6 cm size -- this is larger than the standard 35x45mm passport photo used for most countries
- Most Dubai photo studios can produce 4x6 cm photos if you specify the Cambodia visa requirement
- For the e-Visa, a clear phone photo against a white wall works if properly cropped
- Bring a spare physical photo to the airport even if you have an e-Visa -- it can be useful at immigration
- If you forget your photo for VOA, one will be taken at the counter for USD 2-5
