What is the "Fake Visa-on-Arrival Agent Online" scam in Phnom Penh?

Question

Accepted Answer

Fraudulent websites mimic the official Cambodian e-visa portal and charge inflated fees of USD 60–100 for a visa-on-arrival letter that either never arrives or contains errors that create problems at Phnom Penh International Airport. Some operators collect payment then disappear. Cambodian e-visas cost USD 36 official; anything higher is suspicious. Scammers rank these sites using paid ads targeting search terms like "Cambodia visa apply online." Apply only through the official Cambodian government e-visa site (evisa.gov.kh). Verify the URL before entering payment details. Visa on arrival is also available directly at the airport—do not pay any online service more than the official fee.
