Vietnam and Cambodia are the top destinations in Southeast Asia on the Indochina Peninsula that many travelers prefer to visit together. Since Vietnam shares a border with Cambodia, it is no surprise that traveling from Vietnam to Cambodia is easy by air, bus, car, or boat.
The first thing you need to check, before going abroad, is the visa policy. At this time, there are 3 major ways to obtain a Cambodian visa: a visa on arrival, Cambodia E-Visa, or by applying to the Cambodian Embassy/Consulate. For travelers who want to get a visa stamp beforehand, you can apply for the Cambodia E-visa online or apply for a visa at the Cambodia Embassy/Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City or Ha Noi Capital. Besides, it is quite easy to obtain the visa stamp on arrival at airports and international border crossings in Cambodia. It costs US $30 for a visa on arrival, the same fee when you apply at the Cambodian Embassy/Consulate, or US $36 for the E-visa.
As we have mentioned above, there are 3 ways to get to Cambodia from Vietnam.
By Flight
At the moment, there are three major international airports in Cambodia: Phnom Penh, Siem Riep and Sihanoukville. Most flights from Vietnam to Cambodia depart from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang City, and Hanoi. It does not take long to fly from Vietnam to Cambodia, but you need to be at the international airport at least 2 hours before departure to check in.
By Land
There are 7 border crossings that allow travelers to enter Cambodia from Vietnam, but the route from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh, via Moc Bai – Bavet, is the most popular. It takes about 6 hours for the trip. Travelers can buy a ticket on Pham Ngu Lao Street in Ben Thanh Ward, where many bus companies sell tickets. Also, it costs US$ 25-35 per ticket.
Travelers who want to go down South Cambodia to visit Kampot, Koh Kong, Sihanoukville… should cross Ha Tien – Prek Chak borderland. It is quite easy to buy a bus ticket in any province to Ha Tien, then you have to take another bus from Ha Tien to Cambodia.
By Water
Travelers can also reach Cambodia via the Mekong Delta. The Mekong Delta region encompasses a large portion of the southwest. Today, the region comprises 12 provinces, but you need to come to Chau Doc and take a boat from here to enter Cambodia by water. The boat will make a brief stop at the Vinh Xuong border river for you to complete visa checks and continue to Phnom Penh.
