Guests visiting Cambodia as part of their Explorations by Norwegian voyage should review the visa requirements below before travelling.
For most nationalities, a Cambodian Transit Visa on Arrival (VOA) is issued at the ship's first Cambodian port of call, making the process simple and seamless.
Transit Visa on Arrival
The Cambodian Transit Visa on Arrival is arranged locally at the first Cambodian port visited during your voyage.
Unlike some visa processes, guests are not required to complete visa applications, provide passport photographs, or submit passport copies in advance.
Once your ship departs Cambodia and enters another country, the visa automatically expires and is no longer valid.

Before You Travel
To ensure a smooth arrival in Cambodia, please make sure you:
✅ Check whether your nationality is visa-exempt, eligible for a Visa on Arrival, or requires a visa before travel.
✅ Ensure your passport contains at least two completely blank visa pages.
✅ Obtain a visa before departure if your nationality is not eligible for a Visa on Arrival.
✅ Carry all required travel documentation throughout your voyage.
As immigration requirements can change without notice, guests are responsible for ensuring they hold the correct travel documentation required for entry into Cambodia. Explorations by Norwegian recommends reviewing your visa requirements well before departure to ensure a seamless travel experience.
