Romanian travellers skip the embassy entirely โ there is no Cambodian mission in Bucharest, so the online Cambodia eVisa is the standard route, approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days before your Bucharest-Doha-Bangkok hop.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Romanian citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Romanian citizens
Yes โ Romanian citizens need a visa to enter Cambodia. Every Romanian passport holder must hold either a Type T tourist eVisa or a Type E business electronic visa, and the Cambodia online visa is the only realistic route because Cambodia maintains no embassy in Romania. The Berlin-accredited non-resident ambassador serves Bucharest only for diplomatic matters, so the Cambodia electronic travel authorization is the standard option for Romanian travellers from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca or Timiศoara. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves applications in 3 business days.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 โ both prices are all-inclusive. Upload your passport bio page and a photo, fill in a few details, and your electronic visa lands in your inbox before you fly.
What you don't need:
No embassy visit or appointment
No flight booking required before you apply
No hotel reservation needed
No bank statement or proof of funds
No paperwork beyond your passport and photo
Once approved, your eVisa allows a 30-day single entry stay within 3 months of the issue date. Need longer? Extend at any local immigration office in Cambodia before your 30 days run out.
Tip for Romanian travellers: Apply 5-7 days before your departure from Bucharest Otopeni (OTP) โ Qatar Airways via Doha is the dominant routing to Bangkok for Romanian travellers, and the OTP-DOH-BKK chain leaves little buffer to fix a passport-typo error once you are mid-itinerary.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Romanian Travellers Choose?
Pick the Cambodia eVisa type that matches your travel purpose. Choosing wrong can result in entry denial or fines under Cambodian immigration law.
Tourist eVisa
For leisure travel, family visits and short stays.
The Tourist eVisa is the right choice for most Romanian travellers visiting Cambodia. It covers sightseeing in Siem Reap, beach time in the Koh Rong islands, visiting Angkor Wat, and staying with family or friends โ anything that isn't paid work or formal business activity.
Best for: tourism, leisure, visiting family or friends, short cultural trips
Allows: hotel stays, sightseeing, beach travel, river cruises
Does NOT allow: paid work, formal business meetings, signing deals
Apply: 100% online in 10 minutes โ no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing โ government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Romanian leisure travellers โ drawn to the Mediterranean-meets-Asian-temples contrast โ almost always pick the Type T tourist eVisa at $80 USD for 2-3 week Angkor Wat and southern-coast combinations, while Romanian professionals working on Phnom Penh-based automotive, IT-services or ASEAN consulting projects choose the Type E business visa at $90 USD because it supports indefinite extensions.
Important: Using a Tourist visa for business activities (meetings, deals, employment) violates Cambodian immigration law and may result in deportation or future entry bans. When in doubt, choose Business.

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Romanian Citizens
Both options exist for Romanian travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters โ price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Romanians used to Black Sea and Mediterranean coastlines find the Cambodian southern coast a natural continuation after the temple circuit โ the Mediterranean-meets-Asian-temples arc that starts at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, runs through Phnom Penh for the Royal Palace and Tuol Sleng, and finishes on Koh Rong or in Kep and Kampot. Romanian couples typically build a three-week itinerary that fits easily inside the 30-day Type T window.

Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
The world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most iconic site. Most visitors base themselves in Siem Reap for 2โ3 days to explore the temple complex at sunrise.

Practical advice from travellers who've been โ currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying โ small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains โ southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2โ3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers โ both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only โ even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
Getting around
Tuk-tuks are everywhere โ agree the fare first. The PassApp and Grab apps give metered, cashless rides in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Domestic flights link the major cities.
