Do Ghanaian citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Most tourists from Ghana can obtain a visa upon arrival at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap international airports. If entering Cambodia by land from Thailand, Vietnam, or Laos, visas are also issued at border checkpoints.
Alternatively, travelers can apply for a visa before arrival through a Cambodian embassy or consulate abroad, or via the official e-visa platform at https://www.evisa.gov.kh/.
Key points for e-visas:
• An e-visa allows for a stay of up to 30 days for tourism purposes only.
• For non-tourist purposes (business, retirement, studies, etc.), travelers must apply for a different type of visa through Cambodian embassies or consulates.
• Both e-visas and tourist visas can be extended for an additional 30 days by contacting Cambodian immigration authorities.
• Overstaying a visa incurs a fine of USD 10 per day, which must be paid upon departure.
What is the Cambodia Electronic Arrival (CeA), and how do travelers get it?
From July 1, 2024, all travelers to Cambodia must complete a Cambodia Electronic Arrival Card (CeA) at least 7 days before arrival. This system eliminates traditional paper forms for immigration, health declarations, and customs.
How to apply for a CeA:
1. Official website: Access the CeA application form via the official Cambodian government website.
2. Mobile application: Use the Cambodian e-Arrival app available on Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
The CeA application is free of charge and is not a visa; it complements your visa application. The CeA system currently supports travelers flying into Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airports. For land crossings, Sihanoukville Airport, or maritime arrivals, paper forms are still used.
For those who missed the seven-day online submission deadline, tablets are available at Siem Reap and Phnom Penh airports to complete the CeA application upon arrival.
How can citizens from Ghana apply for an e-visa?
To apply for an e-visa through the official website https://www.evisa.gov.kh/, follow these steps:
1. Fill out the application form: Provide your personal details, travel information, and intended dates of stay.
2. Confirm and pay the visa fee: Verify your details and pay the USD 36 fee securely online.
3. Receive your e-visa: Processing takes up to 3 business days, after which you’ll receive the approved visa via email.
4. Present your e-visa: At the Cambodian border checkpoint, show a printed or digital copy of the e-visa to immigration officers.
What’s the cost and processing time for an e-visa for Ghanaians?
The e-visa fee is USD 36, and the processing time is typically 3 business days. Apply well in advance to avoid delays.
How can Ghanaian citizens apply for a visa upon arrival at the airport?
To obtain a visa upon arrival, travelers need to provide the following documents:
• Two passport-sized photos (4x6 cm, color).
• A passport valid for at least 6 months from the planned return date.
• Pay a visa fee of USD 30 for a single-entry visa valid for up to 30 days.
At the airport, immigration officers will process your application and issue the visa within a short period.
What additional documents do citizens from Ghana need to have to enter Cambodia?
To ensure a seamless entry process, travelers should have the following:
• Hotel reservation: A confirmed booking is required. The payment status (paid or unpaid) does not matter.
• Confirmed airline tickets: Proof of round-trip or onward travel is mandatory to confirm your stay's length.
• Bank statements and tax return: Submit bank statements for the last 6 months and an income tax return document to show financial stability.
• Credit card copy: While cash is optional, providing a credit card copy demonstrates access to funds. Cambodia has an extensive ATM and card payment network.
What are the health insurance requirements for Ghanaians?
Tourists are required to have an health insurance valid for the entire stay in Cambodia, covering:
• At least USD 50,000 in medical expenses.
• Funeral services with a minimum coverage of USD 10,000.
This health insurance ensures compliance with Cambodian travel regulations and provides security during unforeseen circumstances.
