Cambodia Visa Cost for Americans: The All-In Price in 2026

The e-Arrival Card: a separate $5 you should budget for

Your visa is not the last cost between you and a Cambodian entry stamp. Every air arrival in 2026 also files a Cambodia e-Arrival Card — a digital arrival declaration of 14 fields covering your passport, flight, and accommodation details. It is a separate step from the visa, with its own form and its own short deadline: submitted within 7 days before you land. Skip it and you are sent back to the queue at the kiosk.

Verified through us, the e-Arrival Card is $5 USD per traveler, checked end-to-end before it reaches Cambodian Immigration so a single date-format slip does not bounce you at the gate. It is a small line on your total, but it is a line you should plan for — most Americans who get tripped up at arrivals do so because they treated the e-Arrival Card as part of the visa rather than as a separate filing. Our Cambodia e-Arrival Card fee guide for Americans explains exactly what the $5 covers and why it sits outside the visa price.

So the honest "total cost of getting into Cambodia" for a solo American is $85 on a Tourist eVisa — $80 for the visa, $5 for the e-Arrival Card — or $95 on a Business eVisa. Hold that number in your head, because the next section scales it up for couples and families, where the e-Arrival cost matters more than people expect.

What it costs for couples, families, and groups

Cambodia has no family discount and no group rate. Every traveler — including infants and children — needs their own eVisa under their own passport, and every air arrival needs their own e-Arrival Card. The cost is simply per-person multiplied out, so the math is clean once you know the per-head number: $85 each on a Tourist eVisa, all-in, e-Arrival included.

A couple traveling together on Tourist eVisas pays $170 total — two $80 visas and two $5 e-Arrival Cards. A family of four pays $340. A group of six pays $510. There is no point at which the price per person drops; Cambodian Immigration prices the visa and the arrival declaration individually, and a newborn is charged the same as an adult. If anyone in your group is traveling for work, swap their $80 to $90 for the Business eVisa and add $10 to the group total per business traveler.

One practical note for families: the per-person rule includes the no-smile passport photo requirement, which is genuinely the hardest part of a baby or toddler application. The cost does not change for a child, but the photo spec does not relax either. Budget the same $85 per head and plan a few minutes to capture a compliant photo of each younger traveler before you start.

The costs you do NOT pay (and the myths to ignore)

Half of budgeting a Cambodia trip is knowing what is NOT on the bill. Americans coming from a Vietnam or India e-Visa process often brace for a stack of paid add-ons that Cambodia simply does not charge for. Here is the list of costs you can cross off your spreadsheet right now.

• No rush or expedite fee. There is one flat price and one 3-business-day timeline. No site can legitimately sell you a faster government approval, so any "same-day for an extra fee" upsell is charging you for nothing.
• No weekend or holiday surcharge. The price is identical whether you apply on a Tuesday or over a US holiday weekend. Business days affect timing, not cost.
• No return-flight cost at the visa stage. Cambodia does not require proof of onward travel to issue the eVisa, so you are not forced to buy a throwaway ticket to apply.
• No hotel booking cost. The form asks for an intended address, but a hotel name and city is enough — no prepaid nights, no confirmation fee.
• No travel-insurance requirement. Insurance is sensible, but the eVisa application never asks for it and never charges for it.
• No bank statement or proof-of-funds fee. There is no minimum balance to demonstrate and no document to purchase or notarize.
• No separate airport departure tax to pay in cash at KTI. The departure fee at Techo International Airport is built into your airline ticket — you do not line up to pay it on the way out.

The one cost worth checking before you apply is your own card. US cards sometimes add a foreign-transaction fee of roughly 1 to 3 percent on an international charge, which is your bank charging you, not us. A card with no foreign-transaction fee avoids it entirely. The visa price itself is fixed and transparent; the only variable is your card issuer. Our Cambodia visa no-hidden-fees guide for Americans lays out the full promise that the quoted price is the charged price.

What your money buys — and the extension cost after November 2025

The all-in price is not just the bare permit. For $80 or $90 you get the approved eVisa delivered as a printable PDF by email, a 3-business-day turnaround, free resubmission if Immigration flags a photo or passport correction, and US-timezone support if anything goes sideways before you fly. The point of an all-in number is that you are not nickel-and-dimed for the things that should be part of getting a visa in the first place.

One cost that changed in 2026 is the extension. The tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Tourist eVisa is now a hard 30-day ceiling — when it ends, you leave Cambodia, and returning means a fresh $80 eVisa. Only the Business eVisa can be extended from inside the country, and the extension cost is handled in-country through an immigration agent on top of your original $90. If your plans might run long, paying $90 up front for the Business eVisa is far cheaper than getting locked at 30 days. Our Cambodia visa extension cost guide for Americans walks through what changed and what each path now costs.

When it comes time to pay, the checkout accepts the cards and wallets US travelers actually use, with the charge shown clearly before you confirm. There is no separate processing surcharge layered on at the final step. If you want to know which cards and wallets are accepted and how to avoid a declined payment, our Cambodia eVisa payment methods guide for Americans covers the full list.
