in cash. Please be aware that the Cambodian Tourist visa is a full-page sticker
so make sure that you have sufficient room inside your passport and also a
minimum of six months validity on your passport. At peak arrival times there
might be waiting time for that visa on arrival to be processed but is normally
an easy and routine process.
My passport is going to expire!
