A two-parent family of four travelling Cambodia pays $80 USD (~$122 AUD) per Tourist eVisa across all four passports — adults and kids the same — for a $320 USD (~$488 AUD) visa subtotal, plus 4 e-Arrival Cards at $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) each. This guide is the full Aussie family breakdown with no surprises.

A two-parent Australian family of four travelling Cambodia on Tourist eVisas pays $80 USD (~$122 AUD) per passport — adults and kids the same fee, with no age-based discount — for a visa subtotal of $320 USD (~$488 AUD). Cambodian Immigration treats every applicant as an individual regardless of age, so an infant on a parent's lap still needs their own Tourist eVisa at the full $80 USD (~$122 AUD). On top of that, each family member also needs the verified e-Arrival Card at $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) — four cards for $20 USD (~$30 AUD) — submitted within the 7-day window before flight. That brings the all-up Cambodia entry paperwork total for the family to $340 USD (~$518 AUD). Approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email for each of the four passports, with free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction on any of them.
Cambodia is one of the easier school-holiday picks for an Aussie family because the visa is fully online, the country is broadly child-friendly, and the entry paperwork is the same for everyone in the household. What catches some parents off guard is the per-passport pricing. Every family member needs their own Tourist eVisa at full price, including a six-month-old infant or a three-year-old who is technically travelling on a parent's lap on the flight. The Cambodian Immigration fee schedule does not vary by age.
For a two-parent family with two kids — the most common Aussie school-holiday configuration — that means four full Tourist eVisas at $80 USD (~$122 AUD) each, totalling $320 USD (~$488 AUD) for the visa subtotal. Add four e-Arrival Cards at $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) each (also a per-person Cambodian requirement) and the total Cambodia entry paperwork bill lands at $340 USD (~$518 AUD). That is the number worth pencilling into the family travel budget alongside flights, accommodation, and inland transport.
This guide walks through the math line by line, what 'no kids discount' actually means, how the four applications get bundled into a single order on our checkout so it is one card charge for the family, and the three or four edge cases that come up — dual-citizen kids, kids on emergency passports, and what happens if one application out of four needs a correction.
If you want the wider Aussie cost picture before zeroing in on the family math, the cost overview is the umbrella piece. The fees-explained article itemises what is bundled into the $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist or $90 USD (~$137 AUD) Business price, and the AUD conversion guide covers the live USD-to-AUD mechanics on the card statement. Our apply for your Cambodia eVisa pulls all the pieces — cost, documents, processing — into one place.
Below is the exact subtotal a two-parent / two-kid family of four pays for Cambodia entry paperwork in 2026. Every line is per passport because every passport is a separate application from the Cambodian side. There is no household bundle and there is no age-based discount — the breakdown is genuinely just four times the single-person price for the visa, plus four times the single-person price for the e-Arrival.
Did this guide help you?
Four nights Siem Reap for the temples, three for the harder history of Phnom Penh, three for the slow river days of Kampot, three for the warm water of Koh Rong, one buffer night for the day you wish you had. Here is the honest 14-day Cambodia plan for Aussies in 2026 — costs in AUD, transport in plain English, eVisa timing baked in.
The 12-month Business eVisa extension is the longest commitment-level Cambodia stay Aussies can buy in-country. ~$300–400 USD (~$457–609 AUD) through a Phnom Penh agent on top of the $90 USD (~$137 AUD) Business eVisa, 7–14 business days. Best per-month rate of any extension — but only worth it if you genuinely plan to use the back half of the year.
Three nights in Siem Reap for Angkor, three nights in Phnom Penh for the riverfront and the harder history, one buffer night for the day you wish you had. Here is the honest 7-day Cambodia plan for Aussies in 2026 — costs in AUD, transport in plain English, and the eVisa timing baked in.
Three things stand out from that table. First, the kid prices are identical to the adult prices — there is no discount for under-12s, under-5s, or infants. Second, the e-Arrival Card is a separate Cambodian requirement that sits on top of the visa, not bundled into it, and every air arrival including babies needs their own. Third, the $340 USD (~$518 AUD) family total is the full Cambodia entry paperwork bill from us — there is no separate handling fee per child, no surcharge for paying as one order, and no add-ons at our checkout.
Why there is no kids discount
Cambodian Immigration treats each passport as an individual entry record regardless of the holder's age. The Tourist eVisa is a per-passport authorisation that gets stamped on arrival like any adult eVisa, so it costs the same to issue. This is consistent with most regional e-visa systems (Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India) — none of them carve out a kids discount on the per-applicant fee.
Each of the four eVisa applications is a separate submission with its own photo, its own passport bio-data scan, and its own arrival airport selection. They are not joined into a single shared application — Cambodian Immigration needs four distinct records. What we do at the order level is let one parent enter all four passport sets in a single sitting, upload all four photos, pay once with one card, and receive all four approved PDFs by email three business days later. From the bank statement side it looks like one $320 USD (~$488 AUD) charge to our checkout, not four separate per-passport charges, which keeps the receipt-keeping tidy for family budgeting.
The photo step is the one parents most often ask about for younger children. The rules are the same as for adults: plain light background, full face visible, both eyes open, no glasses, no head covering unless religious. For a toddler or infant the cleanest method is to lay them on a plain white sheet of paper on the floor and take a phone photo straight down with good natural light, then crop to a square. We have written an Aussie-specific photo-self-take guide that walks through both adult and child shots.
The photo-self-take guide covers the iPhone and Android specifics for getting a compliant Cambodia eVisa photo at home, including child and infant shots. The chemist-photo option is the parallel option for parents who would rather pay $15-20 AUD per kid at a local chemist counter. If anyone in the family has a passport-name mismatch (mid-trip surname change, hyphenation, or a clerical variant from a birth certificate), the name-mismatch fix piece is the one to read before submitting.
Four people in one order means four times the chance of a small input error — a wrong middle name, a slightly off date of birth, a photo that crops a fraction too tight. Most of these get caught at our end before submission, and if Immigration does flag one of the four for a correction, the free resubmission applies to that specific application without affecting the other three. The other three keep their approved status and their PDFs while the one with the flag gets fixed and re-submitted.
A growing number of Aussie families have one or two children who hold both Australian and a second-country passport (UK, Italian, Indian, etc). The cleanest rule for Cambodia: every child should apply on the same passport they will physically present at Cambodian Immigration on arrival. If you are flying Sydney to Phnom Penh and presenting Australian passports for the parents, all four eVisas should be on Australian passports. Do not mix and match — the eVisa is tied to the specific passport number on the application. The dual-citizens guide covers the corner cases.
If one of the kids was issued a new passport in the last few weeks (a common scenario when a renewal lands just before a school-holiday trip) the eVisa needs to be on the new passport number, not the old one. The application uses the passport number as the unique key. If the old eVisa was already approved before the new passport arrived, that approval is tied to the cancelled passport and is no longer usable — a fresh application on the new passport is needed. We treat that as a fresh paid application, not a free resubmission.
On a four-person family order, if Cambodian Immigration flags one of the four for a correction — say a photo that came back slightly too dark, or a passport scan with glare on the page — we fix that one application without re-charging. The other three are unaffected. You will get three approved PDFs on the original 3-business-day timeline and the fourth PDF will follow once the correction is processed (usually within another business day). The flagged-application piece walks through what the most common flag types look like.
The dual-citizens guide explains the passport-choice rule for kids with multiple citizenships. The children/minors-specific piece is the parallel article for Aussie parents flying with younger kids. The first-trip checklist covers the wider non-visa items for a school-holiday family trip (insurance, vaccinations, ATM rules, USD cash on arrival).
$340 USD (~$518 AUD) for the four Tourist eVisas plus four e-Arrival Cards is the Cambodia entry paperwork line. For an Aussie family of four flying Sydney or Melbourne to Phnom Penh on a school-holiday trip, the wider trip budget typically includes return flights ($1,200-$1,800 AUD per person depending on dates and carrier — kids often slightly cheaper), accommodation (mid-range family-room rates in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh sit around $80-$150 AUD per night), inland transport, food, Angkor Wat passes ($72 USD or ~$110 AUD adult, free for kids under 12), and insurance.
Against a typical 10-14 day family-of-four Cambodia trip budget of roughly $8,000-$14,000 AUD all-up, the $518 AUD entry paperwork subtotal is about 4-6% of the total spend — meaningful but not the biggest line. The two larger trip-cost decisions for a family are flight timing (April school holidays and Christmas school holidays can run $400-$600 AUD more per person than shoulder months) and accommodation tier (whether you choose interconnecting standard rooms or a family suite has a big effect on the nightly rate). The visa cost is fixed and predictable, which is one less unknown to budget against.
When to apply for the family
We recommend Aussie families apply 3-4 weeks before departure. That is enough buffer for the 3-business-day processing plus any free resubmission cycle if one of the four needs a correction, without applying so far ahead that someone's passport renewal date is too close to the issue date. Friday afternoon submissions get caught in the weekend gap — Tuesday morning Aussie-time submissions land cleanest.
If you took the kids to Cambodia in 2023 or 2024 and you are looking at the cost again for a 2026 trip: the $80 USD (~$122 AUD) per-person Tourist price is unchanged, the per-person structure is unchanged, and the no-kids-discount rule is unchanged. What has changed is the e-Arrival Card requirement (now mandatory for every air arrival including children) and the Phnom Penh airport (now KTI Techo International, which replaced PNH on 9 September 2025). Both of those are addressed in the wider returning-traveller piece.
The school-holidays family trip piece is the planning-focused companion to this cost-focused piece — it covers the dates, the itinerary patterns, and the kid-specific logistics. The 7-day itinerary is the most common family pattern and the 14-day version is for longer school-holiday windows.
