Cambodia Visa Quick Facts for South Sudanese Citizens
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for South Sudanese citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for South Sudanese citizens
Yes, South Sudanese passport holders need a Cambodia visa for any visit, and the electronic visa is the only practical route from Juba. South Sudan is the youngest country in the world, having gained independence in 2011, and Cambodia has not yet established a diplomatic mission anywhere in the country. Paper applications would otherwise mean couriering passports to Bangkok, which the online visa removes entirely. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves the eVisa in 3 business days, and the QR code PDF is accepted at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports plus the major land borders. Most South Sudanese travellers route Juba JUB via Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines or via Nairobi on Kenya Airways onward to Bangkok, with the eVisa pre-cleared before the long-haul leg. South Sudan uses English as its official administrative language, which makes the entire Cambodia application process straightforward.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 — 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 South Sudanese travellers: Tip for South Sudanese travellers from Juba: apply 7 to 10 days before your JUB-ADD-BKK or JUB-NBO-BKK itinerary so the 90-day visa validity comfortably absorbs any rescheduled connections. Your card statement will show the equivalent in SSP South Sudanese pounds at checkout.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should South Sudanese 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 South Sudanese 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 — 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 — no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing — government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
South Sudanese travellers comparing routes find the eVisa is the only viable path because Cambodia maintains no embassy or consulate anywhere in South Sudan, the world's youngest sovereign state. Visa on arrival technically exists at $30-36 USD cash on landing in Phnom Penh, but it requires small-bill USD cash after a long Ethiopian Airlines or Kenya Airways transit, with no pre-clearance against airline boarding checks at JUB. The Cambodia online visa at $80 USD all-inclusive locks in approval before departure from Juba International, is accepted at every major airport and land border, and runs entirely in English to match South Sudan's administrative working language.
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 South Sudanese Citizens
Both options exist for South Sudanese travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters — price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Things to Do in Cambodia for South Sudanese Travelers
South Sudanese visitors from Juba typically anchor their first Cambodia trip on Siem Reap for Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm, before continuing to Phnom Penh for the Royal Palace, the National Museum and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. The 30-day Type T stay and 90-day visa validity from issue give comfortable room to combine Cambodia with Bangkok, Singapore or Ho Chi Minh City on a single Southeast Asia loop, which suits the long routing out of East Africa. Tonle Sap floating villages, Battambang colonial-era architecture and the Koh Rong archipelago beaches all fit comfortably within a two to three week trip from JUB.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
The world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most iconic site. Most visitors base themselves in Siem Reap for 2–3 days to explore the temple complex at sunrise.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Phnom Penh
Cambodia's capital blends French colonial architecture with vibrant street markets, the Royal Palace, and sobering history at the Killing Fields and S-21 museum.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Koh Rong Islands
Some of Southeast Asia's last undeveloped beaches. Accessible by ferry from Sihanoukville — no internal flights or extra visas needed.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Kampot & Kep
A slow-paced riverside town famous for its pepper farms, French colonial buildings, and the freshwater crab market at Kep — a perfect 2-day escape from the cities.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Practical advice from travellers who've been — 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 — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — 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 ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — 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 — 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.

A South Sudan passport valid 6 months beyond entry, a colour passport-style photo on white background, and a card for the $80 USD payment.
