Cambodia has released the full list of countries whose citizens can visit without a visa in 2026, offering visa-free entry to nationals of nine Southeast Asian nations. The policy makes Cambodia one of the more accessible destinations in the region for travellers holding passports from these countries.
Nine Countries Eligible for Visa-Free Entry
According to Cambodia's official eVisa portal, the visa exemption applies strictly to tourist visits, and the duration of stay varies depending on the traveller's nationality. The nine countries with visa-free access are: Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Brunei, and Myanmar.
Duration of Stay: 30 Days vs. 14 Days
Six nations enjoy the most generous exemption period. Citizens of Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Laos are all permitted to enter Cambodia and remain for up to 30 days without obtaining a visa in advance or on arrival. The remaining three countries on the list—Thailand, Brunei, and Myanmar—can enter Cambodia visa-free but must limit their stay to 14 days.
Entry Requirements and Exceptions
While no visa is required for citizens of these nine countries, a valid passport remains mandatory for entry, and travellers are expected to meet all standard entry requirements set by Cambodian immigration authorities. The exemption does not extend to other categories of travel such as work or long-term stays, which would require the appropriate visa. For nationals of countries not on the exemption list, Cambodia continues to offer an eVisa option as well as visa-on-arrival services, providing alternative routes for those wishing to visit.
No African Countries on the List
Notably, no African country currently features on Cambodia's visa-free list, meaning travellers from across the African continent must apply through the available visa channels before or upon arrival.
Context: Other Visa Updates
Legit.ng previously reported that Spain named African countries whose citizens are eligible for visa-free entry. Also, Japan updated its eVisa eligibility list in May 2026, opening online visa applications to nationals residing in several countries across the world. The update shared how travellers from selected countries can apply directly through the Japan eVisa website, while nationals from some other countries face different application requirements and must apply through accredited agencies.
