How to get visas for Cambodia and Laos?

Accepted answer

As a Pakistani citizen you need a visa to enter Cambodia and Laos. Also you may not be eligible to apply online for these both countries.

Cambodia

You are not eligible to apply online for a Cambodian visa. Therefore you need a proper visa from a Cambodian embassy or consulate.

Further since you have a valid visa from Thailand, you can apply for a Cambodian visa from The Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Thailand. All details regarding visa and application procedure can be obtained from Cambodia Mission Worldwide, and simply contact the royal embassy of Cambodia in Thailand.

Moreover your travel agent saying you don't need any Cambodian visa is totally wrong. You can also visit Visa Policy of Cambodia to confirm that you definitely need a visa and are not eligible for an online visa either.

Laos

You are also not eligible to apply for an online visa for Laos.

Similarly you have a valid visa from Thailand, you can also apply for a Laos visa from Thailand. You can contact Laos embassy in Thailand from Laos Embassies And Consulate Abroad and can get all requirements regarding the application procedure.

Cambodian e-visa was not available to Pakistan passport holders for the last few years but it seems that Pakistanis are now allowed to apply for one. You may want to inquire directly from the official website of the Cambodian e-visa.

Cambodian visa regime and its application is rather erratic. To be on the safe side you should apply at Cambodian embassy in Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, depending on your itinerary, and obtain a sticker visa before flying to Cambodia (As a Pakistan passport holder you can only enter Cambodia by air - no land border crossings allowed).

As for Laos, there is no e-visa as far as I know. Apply at the Laotian embassy in BKK or KUL.

I have visited Cambodia three times and Laos five times in last 15 years on a Pakistani passport. A visa was available on arrival when I first visited in 2002 and 2006, while later it became compulsory to obtain it beforehand. I have twice obtained my visas in Bangkok and once in KL.

I emailed the Cambodian e-visa service to ask if Pakistani citizens are eligible for e-visa. This is what I received in reply:

Dear sir/madam,

We would like to inform you that E-visa is available for any nationalities. If you want to apply for an e-visa, please go to www.evisa.gov.kh for more information relating to the entry port and the required documents.

Thank you

So I guess Pakistani citizens can now apply for e-visa for Cambodia.
