Which Cambodia Visa Do US Citizens Need? A Quick Decision Guide
Almost every US traveler needs one of two Cambodia eVisas: the Tourist eVisa for leisure, or the Business eVisa for work and long stays. This is the fast decision tree, the borderline calls that trip Americans up, and the one number that settles most of them.
Which Cambodia visa do US citizens need?
Almost every US citizen needs one of two Cambodia eVisas. Pick the Tourist eVisa ($80 USD all-in) if your trip is leisure — vacation, sightseeing, family visit, or time with friends — and your stay is 30 days or fewer. Pick the Business eVisa ($90 USD all-in) if your trip involves meetings, paid work, conferences, sales calls, supplier visits, due diligence, sponsored events, or any stay longer than 30 days. If even one structured business activity is on the itinerary, the whole trip is Business from the start. Both are approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email, and both give you a single 30-day stay on a passport valid at least 6 months from entry.
نکات کلیدی
- Tourist eVisa ($80 USD all-in) is the right pick for pure leisure — vacations, sightseeing, beaches, food trips, family visits, weddings, and travel with friends.
- Business eVisa ($90 USD all-in) is the right pick for meetings, paid work, conferences, sales calls, supplier visits, due diligence, sponsored trips, and any stay longer than 30 days.
- Both eVisas are approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email, valid 3 months from issue, and give you a single 30-day stay.
- Tourist auto-extension ended November 2025, so the Tourist eVisa is now a hard 30-day cap — if your stay could run longer, start on the Business eVisa.
- Every air arrival also needs the separate e-Arrival card ($5 USD verified through us, 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before arrival) on top of whichever eVisa you choose.

سوالات متداول
Which Cambodia visa do US citizens need for a vacation?
The Tourist eVisa. If your trip is leisure — vacation, sightseeing, beaches, food, family visit, or time with friends — and your stay is 30 days or fewer, the Tourist eVisa at $80 USD all-in is the correct class. It is approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email, valid 3 months from issue, and gives you a single 30-day stay. You do not need the Business eVisa unless work or a stay over 30 days is involved.
I have one work meeting on an otherwise leisure trip — Tourist or Business?
Business. Cambodian Immigration does not pro-rate the visa class by day — either the trip is leisure or it contains structured commercial activity. A single calendared meeting with a client, supplier, or partner pushes the whole trip into Business class. The premium over Tourist is just $10 USD, the approval time is the same 3 business days, and the visa is delivered as the same printable PDF by email. When in doubt, default to Business.
Is there a Cambodia visa US citizens can skip — any visa-free or on-arrival option?
No. US citizens need a visa to enter Cambodia, and the eVisa applied for before you fly is the route to plan around in 2026. There is no waiver and no visa-free entry for American passport holders. For almost every US traveler the choice is simply Tourist eVisa or Business eVisa, both approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email.
My trip is 35 days but all leisure — Tourist or Business?
Business. The Tourist eVisa is capped at 30 days in-country with no extension since November 2025. Any stay longer than 30 days — even if every single day is leisure — needs to start on the Business eVisa, which can be extended in-country in 1, 3, 6, or 12-month blocks. Apply for Business at $90 USD and you are covered for the full 35-day plan with margin for delays.
Can I upgrade a Tourist eVisa to a Business eVisa once I am in Cambodia?
No. There is no in-country upgrade path from a Tourist class to a Business class, and Tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so the Tourist eVisa is a hard 30-day cap. The only fix for a wrong-class entry is exit and re-apply: a flight out of Cambodia, a fresh $90 USD Business application, a 3-business-day wait, and re-entry. Pick the right class before you fly.
I plan to do remote work for my US employer from the hotel — what class?
Business. Remote work is paid work, and Cambodian Immigration does not exempt it because the laptop happens to be in a beach bungalow or a hotel room in Phnom Penh. If you plan to open the laptop for paid work at any point on the trip, you need the Business eVisa from the start. If you are taking genuine PTO and the laptop stays in the bag, you are a Tourist.
