Cambodia’s entry route depends on your passport, purpose, arrival point and travel date. This guide helps you prepare the right questions; only the current Cambodian authority can confirm what applies to you.
Start at evisa.gov.kh for Cambodia’s government e-Visa service and arrival.gov.kh for the official e-Arrival service. Avoid look-alike application websites and check all fees before paying.
The four checks every traveller should make
Passport
Eligibility and validity
Check the rule for your nationality and ensure the passport meets the validity and condition requirements stated by the official service.
Purpose
The correct entry category
A holiday, employment, study and long stay are not interchangeable. Choose the route matching the real purpose of travel.
Port
Where you will enter
Not every visa process is accepted at every land, air or sea entry point. Confirm the exact port named on your booking.
Timing
Validity versus stay
The period in which an approval can be used is not necessarily the same as the permitted stay after entry. Read both fields carefully.
e-Visa and e-Arrival are different
An e-Visa is an entry permission route for eligible travellers. The Cambodia e-Arrival is an arrival submission. Having one does not automatically replace the other. Follow the current instructions shown by Cambodia’s official services for your journey.
