Documents needed for a Cambodia visa extension
Baseline documents, variant-specific documents and what you should not provide too early when preparing a Cambodia visa extension.
The exact list depends on your visa type and your situation. The baseline is usually: a valid passport with enough blank pages, a recent passport-size photo and your current visa or entry stamp. Business, retirement and work-permit cases require additional supporting documents.
Baseline checklist (everyone)
- 📄 Passport with at least 6 months remaining validity and two blank pages.
- 📄 Your current entry stamp or visa sticker.
- 📄 One recent passport-size photo meeting the standard size.
- 📄 Your local Cambodian address (hotel, guesthouse, rental, sponsoring company).
Business / work visa add-ons
- 🧾 Supporting letter from a registered Cambodian company.
- 🧾 Extract of the company registration where required.
- 🧾 Employment contract or business activity proof.
- 🧾 If a work permit is involved: the work permit number or current status.
Retirement (ER) add-ons
- 🧓 Proof of age (passport identity page is usually enough).
- 🧓 Proof of pension or sufficient personal funds.
- 🧓 An ordinary/E-class entry as the starting point.
What you should not send before choosing an agent
For your first contact and for the request form on this site, never share:
- Passport number or scan.
- Visa scan.
- Bank statements or financial proofs.
- Birth date in full.
- Home address details.
These documents are exchanged later, directly with the visa agent you choose to engage, ideally over a verified channel.
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.
Send your situation and ask what documents apply
Frequently asked questions
How many passport pages do I need?+
Generally at least two blank pages. If your passport will expire soon, renew it before applying for an extension — visa extensions are typically tied to passport validity.
Do I need a Cambodian address to extend my visa?+
A local address is usually expected. A hotel address, a guesthouse, a rental contract or a sponsoring company address are commonly accepted depending on the visa type. Ask the agent which form is best for your case.
Do I have to provide bank statements?+
For some long-stay or retirement categories, proof of funds or pension may be requested. Tourist extensions usually do not require it. A visa agent can confirm what applies to your case before you gather paperwork.
Can I send scanned copies instead of originals?+
Originals are usually required at some stage of the process. You can typically send scans first to start the file. Never share scans of your passport or visa with someone whose credentials you have not verified.
