Cambodia e-visa: how to apply safely
How to apply for Cambodia's official e-visa online, what you'll need, how long it takes and how to avoid lookalike websites that charge extra fees.
In this guide
Cambodia's e-visa lets eligible travellers apply for a visa online before they travel. It saves time at the airport and gives you peace of mind. But many unofficial websites mimic the official one and charge extra fees, so apply carefully.
Who can apply
Citizens of many countries can apply for a tourist e-visa, and some can apply for an ordinary (business) e-visa. Check the official site for current eligibility.
What you'll need
- A passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
- A recent digital passport photo.
- A digital copy or details of your passport.
- Your travel dates and address in Cambodia.
- A payment card.
How to apply
- Go to the official Cambodian government e-visa website.
- Fill in the application form carefully, checking your passport details.
- Upload your photo.

Entry points
E-visas are accepted at international airports and certain land border crossings. Check the list of accepted entry points before you travel, especially if you're crossing overland.

Frequently asked questions
What if my e-visa doesn't arrive in time?
Contact the official e-visa support with your application number. If you're eligible, a visa on arrival may be an alternative, but check before you fly.
Can I use an e-visa at every border?
No. E-visas are accepted at international airports and certain land crossings only. Check the list before planning an overland route.
