Cambodia e-Visa Update: Thailand Border Crossings Closed

 

What Has Changed

Due to ongoing border tensions with Thailand, Cambodia has temporarily closed two major land checkpoints for e-Visa holders:

• Cham Yeam (Koh Kong Province)

• Poipet (Banteay Meanchey Province)
  Although a ceasefire agreement was signed on July 28, 2025, easing tensions to some extent, the situation at these borders remains uncertain.

Where e-Visa Holders Can Enter Cambodia

If you are traveling with an e-Visa, here are the official valid entry points:

Airports

• Phnom Penh — Techo International Airport (KTI) (replaced the old PNH airport on September 8, 2025)

• Siem Reap International Airport

• Sihanoukville International Airport

Land Borders

• Bavet – Vietnam border

• Tropaeng Kreal – Laos border

Thailand → Cambodia

• Currently, e-Visas are not accepted at Poipet and Cham Yeam.

• However, Visa on Arrival may still be available at these checkpoints, depending on local conditions. Travelers should always check the latest updates before planning their route.

Vietnam → Cambodia

• Bavet (Cambodia) – Moc Bai (Vietnam) is the most popular crossing.

• Both e-Visa and Visa on Arrival are accepted.

Laos → Cambodia

• Tropaeng Kreal (Cambodia) – Nong Nok Khiene (Laos) crossing remains open.

• Both e-Visa and Visa on Arrival are accepted.

Important Things Travelers Should Know

From Thailand: e-Visa holders cannot enter through Cham Yeam or Poipet. You will need an alternative entry point or a different visa type. Exiting Cambodia is more flexible — e-Visa holders can leave through any open international checkpoint. Because the situation may change quickly, it’s best to check Cambodia’s official e-Visa website and your country’s travel advisories before finalizing travel plans.
