Check Point
Special
note: Even though obtaining a visa on arrival is the easiest choice for travelers,
there are possibilities that the Cambodian authorities may phase out this
privilege without any prior notice. To avoid the hassles, it is highly
recommended to obtain an e-visa via online or applying for a regular visa by visiting
the Cambodian embassy.
Cambodia
e-visa
Foreign
nationals can obtain an e-visa by applying through the official government visa
processing center. It should be noted that the privilege of e-visas is only given
to foreign nationals who wish to enter the country for tourist purposes.
UK
nationals can apply for e-visa, but citizens of countries like Iran, Iraq,
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Sri Lanka are not
entitled to use this privilege.
In
usual cases, a Cambodia tourist visa also known as T-class visa offers a
validity of 30 days. If a foreign national want to extend the visa validity of
a tourist visa, he or she can contact the Consular Department, Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and can extend its validity by another 30 days. It should be
noted that these tourist visas will offer only single-entry privilege for
foreign travelers.
Special
note: It is highly recommended to apply for an e-visa at least seven days
before your travel date. Now, the Cambodian authorities are charging $30 for a 30-day
valid e-visa for tourist activities.
Cambodia
regular visa
A
foreign national can apply for a regular visa by visiting the Cambodian embassy
or consulate. After visiting the embassy, he or she should submit all the documents
needed to get the visa along with the visa application form. Some people may
find it hard to complete the visa application form, and in these times, they
can seek the help of entrusted agencies like Visa Genie. The dedicated team of

Italy – Coming soon
Italy has put forward plans to introduce digital nomad visa for people outside the European Union. The initiative was approved March 28 and will allow non-residents to work remotely in the country for up to a year.
However, the law might not be designed to welcome everyone to live the Italian dream since these visas are aimed to attract “highly qualified” remote workers -only-.
The term “highly qualified” is yet to be clearly defined by the Italian authorities. But, as per local media, it could mean anything from “college professors to circus performers.”
This is what Italian MP Luca Carabetta has to say about the requirements: The government must work on a new bill to implement the law, which will set out all the procedures and details,” Carabetta said.
“Requirements for the remote worker are the availability of suitable housing, adequate income, health insurance and a clean criminal record.”
“We are happy to have approved the proposal but we are also aware of the next steps.
Czech Republic

How to get it

- Show proof of accommodation for at least a year in order to qualify
- Submit proof of at least €5,587 in your bank account (per person)

Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism has just launched a digital nomad visa called the Global Citizen Concierge Program (GCCP) that will allow nomads to live and work in the country for up to 2 years.
The minimum income requirement is a bit more expensive than other countries. If you are not there yet, this visa may be the motivation you need to make the leap to a six-figure earner. Digital nomads need to present proof of an annual salary of at least USD $100,000, or USD $150,000 for couples.
Since this is a whole new program, the full list of requirements has not been released yet. But we have gathered some conditions here.

Tourist e-Visa
Tourist visas allow visitors to enter the country once and stay for up to 30 days. They cannot be renewed, so you’ll need to leave the country and apply for a new visa if you want to stay.
Visa Fees and Application
Once you’re on the Cambodian visa webpage, the application itself is easy to fill out and very straightforward. Apart from entering your personal information on your passport, there are only a few other things you’ll need.
- You’ll need to upload a digital photo or scan of your passport as well as a digital photo of yourself on a neutral background. In both cases, a photo taken with your cellphone usually works.
- You’ll also need to choose your port of entry, which is likely either the Siem Reap Airport or Phnom Penh Airport.
- If you’ll be crossing via land from Thailand, Vietnam, or Laos, you’ll have to choose the border crossing checkpoint you plan to use, since the visa is only valid for the crossing you indicate in the application.
What is Vietnam business visa? How long it is good for?
Vietnam business visa is a short-term visa to Vietnam, issued to the foreigners who will be working with/for a company in Vietnam, attending a meeting/negotiation, or signing contracts, and do not have a valid working visa or temporary residence card.
Vietnamese business visa is categorized as DN1 and DN2 visa (formally DN, of which:
- DN1 visa – to be granted to foreigners who work with other businesses and organizations with legal status in accordance with the laws of Vietnam.
- DN2 visa – to be granted to foreigners who come to Vietnam to offer services, establish a commercial presence or perform other activities under international treaties to which Vietnam is a member.
Sample Vietnam business visa
While people with Vietnam tourist visas are not permitted to work in Vietnam, those with a business visa are allowed to take a leisure trip during their business in Vietnam.
Before Covid, a Vietnamese business visa is available in:
- 1-month single/multiple entry
- 3-month single/multiple entry, and
- 1-year multiple entry (for US Passport holders only).
But at the moment, a business visa for Vietnam is good for 3 months at maximum.
Business/Ordinary Visa
For anyone who wants to stay in Cambodia long-term, you’ll need to apply for an E class visa (not to be confused with the electronic “e-visa”). E class visas are also referred to as “business visas” or “ordinary visas,” and they allow the holder to stay in Cambodia for extended periods of time. Ordinary visas initially last for 30 days, but can be extended once you’re in the country for up to 12 months at a time.
There are four types of ordinary visa extensions: one for workers (class EB), one for people seeking employment (class EG), one for students (class ES), and one for retirees (class ER).
Visa Fees and Application
The ordinary/business visa is a visa on arrival (you cannot get one electronically before arriving). Make sure you have a filled out application, passport photo, and $35 in U.S. dollars. The visa on arrival is valid for 30 days, so you’ll need to apply for the appropriate visa extension if you plan to stay longer. Visa extensions are granted for up to 12 months at a time, and only the six-month or 12-month extensions allow holders to leave and re-enter Cambodia.
- Workers (EB Extension): This extension is for those who are working, volunteering, or freelancing in Cambodia plus their immediate family members. You’ll need a letter of employment from a Cambodian company or a letter stating you’re self-employed with an official government stamp. Family members will have to show documents that prove the relation between them and the sponsor. This visa allows workers to live in Cambodia, but you’ll still need a valid work permit to legally have a job in Cambodia.
Employment Seekers (EG Extension): If you’re looking for work in Cambodia, the EG extension lets you have up to six months to find a job and then convert the EG extension into an EB extension.
Students (ES Extension): Essentially a student visa, you’ll need to show a letter of acceptance into a Cambodian education program, plus proof of sufficient funds to support yourself.
Retirees (ER Extension): Retired individuals who want to live in Cambodia can apply for the ER extension if they are over 55 and have proof of sufficient funds to live.
The extension must be applied for within 30 days of arrival and before your visa expires. The official way to do it is to visit the Immigration Department in Phnom Penh, which is next to the airport. The fees for the extension seem to vary arbitrarily, depending on the type of extension, the length of stay, and the official who helps you. For an extra fee, there are agencies all over the country who will submit the paperwork for you.

Sri Lanka – Coming soon
The Sri Lankan government is taking steps to attract DNs and people working remotely with its recently approved long-term one-year visas. The decision was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers on July 12.
The government took into account that digital nomads are not “sensitive to seasonal travel,” so those were perfect to help them “boost off-season tourism.”
The requirements to be eligible are yet to be announced.
South Africa is in the process of changing its work visa regime to introduce startup visas and digital nomad visas for those who want to work and live in the country.
The initiative will allow digital nomads and remote workers to stay in the country for one year, with the option to extend it for another one.
The criteria have not yet been fully released, but applicants may need to have a minimum income of $3,000 per month.
Remote workers will also need proof of employment and accomodation and health insurance.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the objective is to make the country more accessible to this population.
South Africa
South Africa is the process to modify its work visa regime to include startup and digital nomad visa for those who want to work and live in the country.
The initiative will allow digital nomads and remote workers to stay in the country for one year with the option to extend it for another one.
Criteria has not been completely released but applicants might need to have a minimum income of $3,000 per month.
Remote workers will also need proof of employment and accomodation and health insurance.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the goal is to make the country more accessible to this demographic.
Australia
An Australian Working Holiday Visa is a long term visa that allows digital nomads to work and live in the country for 1 year.
The catch is that you must be between 18 and 35 years old to qualify for this visa. If you are, you will have the possibility to extend it for 1 more year -this is important- if you do some sort of farm work in rural Australia.
Many people visit Australia just to experience first hand its rich fauna. If you are interested in volunteering or working with animals in Australia find out what programs will also qualify you for a visa extension. The extension of this visa may not be advisable for digital nomads since most of us have little to nothing about farm work.
We recommend you to consult with your embassy about these types of visas in Australia so you know first hand about the special conditions.
Tourist Visa on Arrival
Tourist visas, or T class visas, can also be obtained on arrival in Cambodia. It’s slightly cheaper than applying for the e-visa, but long lines and sluggish processing for visas on arrival are the norm, so the e-visa is usually your best bet. If you need to get to Cambodia in a hurry and don’t have time to wait for the e-visa (it usually takes under 24 hours to process but can take up to three business days), then the visa on arrival is a convenient fallback.
E-visas are accepted at all of the airports in Cambodia, but not at every land border crossing. If you are crossing the border in a vehicle from Thailand, Vietnam, or Laos, you should confirm that your port of entry accepts e-visas; if they don’t, you’ll need to request the visa on arrival.
Visa Fees and Application
The visa application is nearly identical to the e-visa, but you’ll download and print the form instead of filling it out online.
- Apart from the application, you’ll need your passport and a physical passport photo, so make sure you have one before landing in Cambodia.
- The visa fee is $30 which must be paid in cash in U.S. dollars. Try to have the exact amount on hand, because it’s unlikely you’ll get change back. The airports have ATMs available but they don’t always have cash available, so don’t rely on them.
- If you’re crossing at a land border, expect to pay another $1–$20 in “fees” to the immigration official. There’s no official listing of land crossing fees, but since the official has the authority to deny your entry, your only option is to pay it.
