Cambodia v-Pass
Cambodia Officially Launches “v Pass” to Replace Immigration Stamps & QR Code Slips
The Cambodian Ministry of Interior has formally launched the v Pass, a fully digital visitor pass system that replaces traditional passport stamps and paper/QR immigration slips.
Effective July 1, 2025, the new system is now mandatory for all travelers through three international airports and seaport.
a) What is the v-Pass?
• Digital entry/exit record: Instead of ink stamps or printed QR slips, travelers now receive an emailed v Pass after immigration processing.
• Seamless integration: Delivered automatically via email or accessed through the official e Arrival portal (www.arrival.gov.kh) or the Cambodia e Arrival app.
• No physical stamp: At official points of entry, immigration will not physically stamp passports. Visitors are advised to retain a digital or printed copy of the v Pass for the duration of their stay.
b) What Travelers Need to Know
• Entry/exit: At border control, simply present your passport. The v Pass will be emailed; no stamps or physical slips will be issued.
• Keep it accessible: Save the digital v Pass on your phone or print a copy. Authorities advise keeping it on-hand throughout your stay.
• Visa rules remain unchanged: e visas, visas-on-arrival, and visa exempt travel are still governed by standard immigration policy; v-Pass supplements, rather than replaces, visa procedures.
c) How to Use Your v-Pass
• Entering the Country:
o Present your passport at immigration
o The immigration officer will process your entry
o Instead of receiving a physical stamp, you will receive a v-Pass via email
o Keep this v-Pass accessible during your stay

o Always respect the duration of the stay indicated on your v-Pass
• Departing the Country:
