Siem Reap Airport - Visa on Arrival and Departure Tax

We just returned from SE Asia and spent 5 days in Siem Reap. We flew in from SGN (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) and got Visa on Arrival. There are several ATM machines available just inside to get cash for the visas ($20 USD for Tourist) if you need them. This process was much more efficient that the Visa on Arrival in Vietnam (Hanoi).





What we did not read about anywhere was that there is a departure tax at the airport payable in cash or by credit card. It was $25 USD pp for foreigners and I believe $18 USD pp for Cambodian nationals. Although not a lot, we did not expect it.

Unsuspecting travelers are very fortunate they accept visa cards...
