Multi-entry vs single
When the multi-entry business eVisa pays off vs. repeat single-entry tourist files.
About
In their own words
I head the Returning-Traveller desk at VisaToCambodia. My team is for the Australians who fly to Cambodia three, four, sometimes eight times a year — consultants servicing a Phnom Penh client, retiree snowbirds escaping the southern winter, expats commuting back to Sydney for school holidays, mining and construction supervisors on a four-on-two-off rotation. The question we answer most often is the same: do you keep applying for a new tourist eVisa every trip, do you switch to the multi-entry business eVisa, or do you extend in-country and convert? It's not a one-size answer, and getting it wrong costs Australians thousands in unnecessary fees or — worse — a visa-overstay flag at re-entry. The decision posts on this site come straight out of that playbook. Outside work I'm the slowest member of a Saturday-morning ocean-swim group at Bronte and I refuse to apologise for it.

Second Time Applying for a Cambodia eVisa: What's Different for Americans
Applying for a Cambodia eVisa the second time is faster than the first — the five-item pack and the $80 USD price have not moved. What did change is on the ground: a brand-new Phnom Penh airport, every Thailand land border closed, and the tourist auto-extension gone. Here is exactly what is different for returning Americans, and what is reassuringly identical.

Returning TravelersCambodia Visa Runs Are Over: How Returning Americans Re-Enter in 2026
The Cambodia visa run is over. The Thai land bounce that powered it has been closed since June 2025, and the tourist auto-extension that backed it ended in November 2025. Here is exactly how returning Americans re-enter Cambodia in 2026 — a fresh eVisa each trip, by air, approved in 3 business days, with no border to walk across.
Returning TravelersDo You Need a New Cambodia eVisa Every Trip? Returning Americans Explained
Yes — if you visited Cambodia before, your old eVisa is gone the moment you left, and your next trip needs a brand-new one. The Cambodia eVisa is single-entry for US citizens, so every arrival is a fresh $80 application. Here is exactly why, what carries over (almost nothing), and how returning Americans re-apply in a fraction of the time.

Renewed your US passport since your last Cambodia trip? Your old eVisa does not carry over — Cambodia keys every approval to the passport number, so a new book means a fresh application. Here is what changes, what stays the same, and how to reapply without a single avoidable delay.
Returning TravelersPlanning Multiple Cambodia Trips in One Year: Visa and e-Arrival Timeline for Americans
