Cambodia e-Arrival Card for Families: Children, Infants and Group Filings

One card per traveller, whatever their age

Families flying into Cambodia often assume that a parent’s e-Arrival Card covers the children, the way a single booking reference covers the whole family on a flight. It does not. The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is tied to a passport, not to a booking, and every traveller who presents a passport at the immigration desk needs a card that matches it.

That makes the rule for families easy to remember: count the passports. However many passports your family is travelling on, that is how many e-Arrival Cards you need. Two adults and two children means four cards. A grandparent joining the trip means five.

Whose details go on a child’s card?

The child’s. A parent fills in the form, but every identity field comes from the child’s own passport: their full name exactly as printed, their passport number, their date of birth and their nationality. The travel details (flight, arrival date, departure date, next destination and accommodation) will usually match the parent’s, because you are travelling together.

The most common family mistake is a copy-and-paste error: filing a child’s card with a parent’s passport number, or with the older sibling’s date of birth. When you file several cards in a row, the fields that change from card to card are exactly the ones that are easy to leave behind.

How to file e-Arrival Cards for the whole family

You can start your e-Arrival application for the whole family with us: one order covers every traveller, priced per person, and each card is checked against that person’s passport before it is filed.

At the airport with children

Arriving with children is where preparation pays off. After a long flight, with tired children and hand luggage, you do not want to be scrolling through a phone looking for the right QR code. A few habits make the immigration desk quick.

• Keep each passport together with that person’s printed QR code, so every set is complete.
• Keep the phone copies in a single album, with each screenshot named after the traveller.
• Approach the desk as a family, with all the passports and codes ready in hand.
• Keep any visas in the same set as the matching passport.
