Visa
All visitors require visa, except for citizens of Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Laos. Tourist visa costs US$20, business visa costs US$25. You need a minimum of 4 months validity on your passport, and one completely blank page. Get it done at a Cambodia Embassy and enjoy a 90-day validity (but must be used within 3 months).
List of Cambodian embassies is available here at: http://www.cambodia.gov.kh/unisql1/egov/english/country.embassy.html
You can also apply for your visa at the airport in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, as well as at the border crossings. Bring along one or two (depends on where you apply) passport-size photos, and clean US dollar bills (paying using local currency will be at a substantially higher price). If you do not bring a passport-size photo, then it's an additional US$2 to get it taken. If you prefer to have your visa done in advance but cannot reach any Cambodia embassies, you can get an e-Visa done for US$25.
