Cambodia visa extension cost
How prices break down for a Cambodia visa extension, what drives the variation, and how to compare quotes fairly without relying on outdated forum numbers.
There is no single fixed price for a Cambodia visa extension. The total cost depends on the visa type (tourist, business, retirement, work permit), the duration requested, the urgency, and the agent's service fee. Always ask for a breakdown of government fees versus service fees before paying.
Three things you are actually paying for
1. Government fees
Set by the relevant authorities. Depend on the visa type and duration (1, 3, 6, 12 months). These are the same whether you go direct or through an agent.
2. Agent service fees
What the agent charges to handle the file: paperwork, travel to the office, coordination with you. This is where quotes diverge.
3. Optional add-ons
Express handling, passport delivery, additional documents (translations, certifications). Should always be itemised separately.
What drives the total up or down
- Visa type (tourist, business, retirement, work permit each have a different fee structure).
- Duration requested (a 12-month extension is more expensive than a 1-month one).
- Urgency (express handling adds a premium).
- Whether a sponsoring company is involved.
- Whether you need translations or certified copies of supporting documents.
How to compare quotes fairly
When you ask an agent for a price, request:
- The government fee for your specific visa and duration.
- The agent service fee, separately.
- Any add-on (express, courier, translation), separately.
- The final all-inclusive figure to pay.
- Confirmation of a receipt for each payment.
Cheapest is not always best. A very low quote may indicate a non-standard route or a less experienced operator. Reputation, response time and clarity matter as much as price.
Why we do not publish a single price
You will find old forum posts quoting prices in US dollars for an extension. These are frequently outdated. Rather than printing a number that will be wrong within months, we recommend asking a current local agent for a quote based on your case. Submit your situation through the form below and an agent will reply with a current breakdown.
Before you contact any visa agent
- No reputable agent can guarantee a visa outcome — the final decision rests with the authorities.
- You do not need to send passport scans at first contact; describe your situation first.
- Ask for a clear split between official government fees and the agent's service fee.
- Expect a realistic timeline based on your case, not an instant promise.
- Stay cautious with anyone who guarantees approval or asks for full payment up front.
Please do not attach passport scans in this form. Describe your situation only. Share sensitive documents later, and only with the provider you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Why do visa extension prices vary so much?+
Government fees, processing duration (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year), visa category and urgency all change the price. Service fees from one agent to another can also differ. Asking for a written breakdown helps you compare fairly.
Are there hidden fees on top of the quoted price?+
A reputable agent should clearly separate government fees, service fees and any optional add-ons (express handling, document delivery). Ask explicitly for a final, all-inclusive figure before transferring any money.
Is the cheapest agent always the best choice?+
Not necessarily. A very low quote may indicate a non-standard route or a less experienced operator. Reputation, response time, language coverage and clarity of process matter as much as price.
Can I pay the agent in cash, or do I have to use a card?+
Most local agents work in cash (USD or KHR). Some accept bank transfer or app-based payments. Confirm the preferred payment method and request a receipt for your records.
