What's Included in Your Cambodia eVisa Price? A Plain Breakdown for Americans

Why Business costs $10 more — and what the extra buys

The Tourist eVisa is $80 and the Business eVisa is $90, a $10 difference. The two are identical in the things this guide has covered so far: both arrive as a printable PDF, both are approved in 3 business days, both are valid 3 months from issue with a 30-day single-entry stay, both include free resubmission and US-timezone support. The price difference is not about faster service or a thicker support package.

What the extra $10 buys is the right visa class for what you are doing — and, more importantly, a path forward if your trip runs long. The Business eVisa is the only Cambodia visa that can be extended from inside the country, for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. The Tourist eVisa cannot be extended at all since the tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Tourist traveler who wants to stay past 30 days has to leave and buy a fresh $80 eVisa. If there is any chance your stay stretches beyond a month, paying $90 up front for the Business class is the cheaper decision. The tourist vs business eVisa cost comparison walks through which one fits your trip.

The one thing the price does not include: the e-Arrival Card

The single most important thing to understand about the eVisa price is the one cost it does not cover. The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is a separate, mandatory step for every air arrival, and it is not part of the visa fee. It is its own form — 14 fields across personal, travel, and customs details — submitted within 7 days before you land, and verified through us for $5 USD. The visa proves you are allowed to enter; the e-Arrival Card is the actual arrival declaration the immigration desk checks at the gate.

Treating the e-Arrival Card as if it were rolled into the visa is the most common way Americans get tripped up at the arrivals kiosk. The two are filed at different times — the visa now, when you book; the e-Arrival Card later, in the week before you fly — and they are billed as two separate line items. So the honest "all-in to clear Cambodian entry" number for a solo Tourist traveler is $85: $80 for the visa, $5 for the e-Arrival Card.

Beyond the e-Arrival Card, the only other variable that can sit on top of the price comes from your own bank, not from us. The charge is billed in US dollars, so there is nothing to convert, but some US cards add a foreign-transaction fee of roughly 1 to 3 percent on an international charge — that is the bank charging you, not the visa price changing. A no-foreign-transaction-fee card avoids it entirely, and the accepted payment methods for your Cambodia eVisa are the usual US-issued Visa, Mastercard, and Amex. There is no departure tax to pay in cash either; the airport fee is built into your flight ticket. If you want the reassurance spelled out, the no hidden fees breakdown for Americans confirms there is nothing waiting on the final screen.

What happens to your money if something goes wrong

A fair question when you pay up front: what if the visa is not approved? The honest answer for US travelers is that an outright rejection is rare, because the vast majority of issues are correctable problems — a photo the system flags, a scan with glare, a typo in a date — rather than fundamental ineligibility. Those are exactly what the free resubmission built into the price is for. You fix the flagged item, refile at no extra charge, and the approval continues.

Because correctable issues are handled by resubmission rather than a fresh payment, you are not in the position of buying the visa twice to get one approval. That is the practical meaning of "all-in": the price you pay is the price to reach an approved visa, including the back-and-forth it sometimes takes to get there. If you want the full picture of how money is handled when a file is flagged or, rarely, declined outright, the guide on what happens to your money if a Cambodia eVisa is rejected covers each scenario.

The thing to avoid is paying for "speed" or "guarantees" that do not exist. Any site selling a same-day Cambodia eVisa or an expedited tier for an extra fee is charging you for handling that cannot change the underlying 3-business-day timeline. The flat price already includes the fastest legitimate turnaround there is, so there is nothing genuine to upgrade to.

The bottom line before you apply

One flat price, one outcome. The $80 Tourist eVisa (or $90 Business) buys your approved visa as a printable PDF by email, a 3-business-day turnaround, free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction, and US-timezone support — all in, with nothing added at the final screen. Budget the $5 e-Arrival Card as the one separate line item, and you have the complete cost of clearing Cambodian entry. If you want the dollar-by-dollar Tourist figure on its own, the Cambodia Tourist eVisa price for US citizens drills into it.
