Cambodia Visa 

All European travelers have to get a visa; the best way is to get a Visa on Arrival (VOA):

• Available at: Major international airports (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville) and certain land borders
• Validity: 30 days (Tourist Visa - T class)
• Requirements: Valid passport (at least 6 months validity), 01 passport-sized photo, Visa fee (around €26,1 - €30,4/person), and completed visa application form (available at the airport/land border).

Vietnam Visa

Vietnam has visa exemptions for some European countries for up to 30 or 45 days. You can check your Visa requirements by typing your nationality here.

For those who still need a visa, we strongly recommend applying for a Vietnam e-Visa in advance, preferably through a reputable agency such as BestPrice Travel (€34,8/person).
