Cambodia entry rules for Taiwan passport holders
Direct flights from Taipei to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap make Cambodia a popular short-haul holiday. Searches for do Taiwanese need a visa for Cambodia have a clear answer for ordinary passports: yes. ASEAN-style visa exemptions do not cover ordinary Taiwan travel documents for tourism. The practical options are Cambodia eVisa before you fly, or visa on arrival at an authorised post.
This page is written for people travelling on a Taiwan passport. It is separate from our mainland China guide—nationality labels on the form are different, and temporary visa-free notices that apply to PRC ordinary passports do not automatically apply here. Always select the nationality that matches the booklet you will present at immigration.
Do Taiwan passport holders need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes for ordinary passports used for tourism or short business. A typical permission is single entry with a stay of up to 30 days. eVisa letters commonly allow first entry within about three months of issuance—read the dates on your PDF before you lock hotel nights around Angkor or the riverside in Phnom Penh.
Some non-ordinary passport categories (diplomatic, official, service or special) can follow different short-stay rules. If that applies to you, confirm with Cambodian authorities before travel. This guide focuses on ordinary tourist and visitor eVisa / VOA.
Select Taiwan—not mainland China
On the application form, choose Taiwan. Do not select China if your travel document is a Taiwan passport. Wrong nationality is one of the fastest ways to create a mismatch between the eVisa letter and the passport presented at immigration. Use the same booklet for the form, the flight and the border.
Which path suits travellers from Taiwan?
| Path | Best for | Stay | Taiwan-specific note |
|---|---|---|---|

| Visa on arrival | Flexible dates; some land crossings | ~30 days, single entry | USD cash + photo; queues after group arrivals |
| Embassy sticker | Special cases needing a mission | Varies | No resident Cambodian embassy in Taiwan for routine tourist visas—eVisa is the default |

Visa on arrival for Taiwan passport holders
Ordinary Taiwan passport holders are generally eligible for Cambodia tourist or business visa on arrival at major airports and many land borders. Bring a passport photo and cash in US dollars for the fee shown at the desk.
Weekend and charter arrivals from Taipei can create longer VOA lines. An approved eVisa usually moves you to the immigration counter faster. Details: visa on arrival.
Embassy options from Taiwan
There is no resident Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Taiwan listed for routine tourist sticker visas in our directory. That is why almost all ordinary travellers from Taipei, Taichung or Kaohsiung use eVisa or visa on arrival.
If you need a special consular product, check official Cambodian government notices or the nearest accessible Cambodian mission for your case. Mission listings: embassy directory. After arrival, use your own government’s consular channels in Cambodia for emergencies—foreign missions do not issue Cambodian visas (see foreign embassies).

Officers may ask for return tickets and accommodation details.

Yes. Ordinary Taiwan passport holders are generally eligible for tourist or business visa on arrival at major airports and many land borders, with a passport photo and cash for the visa fee.
