Saigon Visa Run Cost

Visa on Arrival Fee

The Cambodia tourist visa on arrival at Moc Bai border costs approximately $43 USD (about 1,100,000 VND) for most nationalities. This is a standard visa valid for 30 days, single entry. The fee is set by the Cambodian Immigration Department and is the same at all land border crossings.

Accepted Currencies

You can pay the visa fee in several currencies at the Moc Bai border:

• USD — $43 (most straightforward, exact change recommended)
• VND — approximately 1,100,000 VND (exchange rate may vary slightly)
• THB — Thai Baht is also accepted but the rate may be less favorable
• EUR — Euros are accepted at some border counters

E-Visa vs Visa on Arrival

You can also apply for a Cambodia e-visa online before your trip through the official Cambodian government site. The e-visa costs around $36 USD plus a processing fee, and is valid for 30 days. However, for a same-day visa run, the visa on arrival is usually faster and more convenient since you are already at the border. We recommend the visa on arrival unless you prefer to have everything ready beforehand.

Required Documents for Cambodia Visa

• Valid passport (6+ months remaining)
• One passport-size photo (4x6 cm)
• Visa fee in cash (USD, VND, or THB)
• Completed arrival card (provided at the border)

How much does a Saigon visa run cost total?

A complete Saigon visa run to Moc Bai ranges from 2,000,000 VND (transportation only) to 5,500,000 VND (full-service package including both visas). Most travelers choose the Car & Visa package at 4,400,000 VND and pay the Cambodia visa fee (~1.1M VND) at the border.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. Our pricing is transparent. The package price is what you pay for the service. The only additional expense is the Cambodia visa on arrival fee (if not on the Complete package) and optional personal spending on snacks or drinks. There are no booking fees, service charges, or surprise add-ons.

Can I pay in USD instead of VND?

We prefer VND for our service fee, but can accommodate USD at the prevailing exchange rate. The Cambodia visa on arrival is typically paid in USD ($43) which is often the easiest option at the border. We recommend carrying both currencies for flexibility.

How much is the Cambodia visa on arrival at Moc Bai?

The Cambodia tourist visa on arrival at Moc Bai costs $43 USD (approximately 1,100,000 VND) for standard processing. This fee covers a 30-day single-entry visa and is paid directly to Cambodian immigration at the border. No advance application is needed for most nationalities.

Why is the Complete package more expensive than Car & Visa?

The Complete package (5.5M VND) includes the Cambodia visa on arrival fee (~1.1M VND) on top of the Car & Visa package. It is the same as buying Car & Visa (4.4M) plus paying the Cambodia visa fee yourself (1.1M), but we handle the payment and paperwork so you do not have to queue or worry about exact change.

Do I need travel insurance for a visa run?

Travel insurance is not required for a visa run, but it is recommended. Standard travel insurance policies are inexpensive (often under $10 USD) and can cover unexpected issues like medical needs, trip delays, or lost documents. We do not include it in any package, but you can arrange it separately.

Is the 90-day e-visa included in the price?

The 90-day Vietnam e-visa is included in the Car & Visa (4.4M VND) and Complete (5.5M VND) packages. It is not included in the Transportation Only (2M VND) package. If you already have a valid e-visa, choose Transportation Only and save.

What happens if the Cambodia visa fee changes?

Cambodia visa fees are set by the Cambodian government and occasionally change. Our prices reflect the current fee structure. If the fee changes at the border, the difference is paid directly by you (typically a small adjustment of a few USD). We keep our price estimates as accurate as possible.
