What if I don't have exact change for visa on arrival?

Some borders have money changers nearby, but rates are poor. ATMs at airports work but may have fees. Bring exact USD to avoid hassles and extra costs.

Do I need proof of onward travel?

Officially required but rarely checked for tourists. Airlines might ask before you fly to Cambodia. A refundable bus ticket to Vietnam or Thailand ($10-15) covers you if needed.

Visa on arrival works at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports, plus major land borders with Thailand and Vietnam. Some small borders don't offer visa services - check before traveling.

What if my e-visa application is rejected?

Rejections are rare for complete applications. You'll get a refund minus processing fees. Common issues: poor photo quality, passport expiry date too close, or incomplete information.
