Hi I was wondering how easy it is to get a Visa in Cambodia and Vietnam on arrival with a New Zealand passport? My friend told me not to worry about getting it before hand but I am not so sure.

You should check with each of these coutries' embassies to make sure.I did some research for myself and I know as US citizen I can get the visa at the airport or border, depending on how I travel.

Pinny: go to www.cambodia-travel.com. I think your friend is right, and you are right to check it out yourself.

I'm not sure of the NZ passport entries, but traveling on a US passport 2 years ago, it was absolutely easy to get the Cambodian visa. Just line up at the airport, pay the $20 fee (for US passport holders at least), wait till your name is called and pick up the passport.
All in all took about 10 mins of waiting around. One thing to note is that children get the visa for free (not sure what the cut off age is).
For Vietnam you will need to arrange for this ahead of time but can pick it up on arrival. I used a travel agency in Ho Chi Minh to get it for me - cost was about $20-25. They will then send you a confirmation letter with the appropriate visa #s etc. that you need to carry with you. Hope this helps.
