The short answer
Emirati citizens can get a visa on arrival to enter Cambodia for stays of up to 30 days. A visa is issued at the border on arrival in Cambodia. On arrival: every traveller must submit the Cambodia e-Arrival form online, including those who already hold a visa. The official portal recommends submitting it within seven days before arrival, so that it does not have to be completed at the immigration counter. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. This was last checked on 19 September 2026.

How Emirati citizens enter Cambodia
Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Prepare for the border desk in Cambodia: the visa is issued on arrival, so bring whatever the official page lists, including a means to pay any fee.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to areas within 20km of the land border with Thailand. Heavy fighting along that border during 2025, including airstrikes and artillery fire, ended with a ceasefire signed on 27 December, but border crossings remain suspended and some tourist sites near the border are closed. Unexploded ordnance and landmines remain a hazard in the border regions.
