Cambodia Visa Quick Facts for New Zealander Citizens
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for New Zealander citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for New Zealander citizens
Yes — New Zealand citizens need a visa to enter Cambodia. Every New Zealand passport holder must hold either a Type T tourist electronic visa or a Type E business eVisa, and the Cambodia online visa is the smoothest route because Cambodia maintains no embassy in Auckland or Wellington. SafeTravel, the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade travel advisory site, confirms the Cambodia electronic travel authorization as a valid arrival route at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap-Angkor and Sihanoukville. The Canberra-accredited non-resident ambassador covers New Zealand only for diplomatic matters, and the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves Kiwi applications in 3–5 days.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 — both prices are all-inclusive. Upload your passport bio page, 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
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.
How New Zealander Citizens Apply for a Cambodia eVisa
The Cambodia online visa application is fast, secure, and 100% online — from form to inbox in 3–5 days.
Step 1
Fill your application
Enter your New Zealand passport details exactly as printed on the biographical page — Māori macron-bearing names (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū) must match the MRZ Latin transliteration on the chip, so use the unaccented version printed in the machine-readable zone.
Step 2
Pay securely
Upload a clear scan of your New Zealander passport bio page — no separate photo is needed.
Step 3
Receive your eVisa
Approval lands in your inbox in 3–5 days as a PDF with QR code — print two copies before leaving New Zealand, one for the Singapore Airlines or Qantas desk at AKL, WLG or CHC and one for the immigration officer at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap-Angkor International.

Why you're going
Things to Do in Cambodia for New Zealander Travelers
Kiwi travellers used to tramping, scenic-roadtrip and Pacific-island routine find a natural rhythm exploring Cambodia after their long-haul flight from AKL or WLG. Most New Zealand couples anchor 3-4 days in Siem Reap for the Angkor Wat sunrise circuit and Ta Prohm, drop down to Phnom Penh by Mekong cruise and finish on Koh Rong or Koh Rong Samloem — a temples-and-islands arc that fits easily inside the 30-day Type T window. Kiwi backpackers on a longer trail typically pair Cambodia with Vietnam and Laos overland, using Bavet from Ho Chi Minh City (the Poipet crossing from Bangkok has been closed since 2025).
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.

Do New Zealand citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — New Zealand passport holders need a Cambodia tourist or business visa for any stay. The Cambodia electronic visa is the fastest route, approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3–5 days with no consulate visit anywhere in Auckland or Wellington.
How much is a Cambodia visa for New Zealanders?
Our service charges $80 USD for the Type T tourist e-Visa and $90 USD for the Type E business e-Visa. We bundle the processing, error-check and Ministry of Foreign Affairs submission into the all-inclusive price. Your card statement will show the equivalent in NZD at checkout.
What does safetravel.govt.nz say about Cambodia visas?
SafeTravel, the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade travel advisory site, advises New Zealanders to obtain a visa before travel. It confirms the Cambodia online visa as a valid route for arrival at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap-Angkor and Sihanoukville airports. Your New Zealand passport must have at least 6 months validity and one blank page.
Is the Cambodia eVisa better than visa on arrival for Kiwis?
For most Kiwi travellers the e-Visa is the better choice. It is processed before you fly out of Auckland, avoids airport queues in Phnom Penh, removes the cash-only payment risk, and protects against being denied boarding by Singapore Airlines or Air New Zealand if onward documentation is questioned.
Can New Zealanders cross into Cambodia by land from Thailand?
No — all Thailand–Cambodia land crossings (including Poipet and Cham Yeam) have been closed since 2025, so New Zealand passport holders travelling between Bangkok and Cambodia must fly into Techo International (KTI) or Siem Reap Angkor International (SAI). Overland eVisa entry remains open at Bavet from Vietnam and Trapeang Kreal / Dom Kralor from Laos.
How long can New Zealanders stay in Cambodia on a tourist eVisa?
The Type T tourist e-Visa lets New Zealand citizens stay up to 30 days from the date of entry, with the visa itself valid for 90 days from issue. If you need longer in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh, the visa can be extended once inside Cambodia through a local agent.
What is the best route from New Zealand to Cambodia?
Most Kiwi travellers fly Auckland to Singapore (Singapore Airlines), Sydney (Air New Zealand or Qantas, then onwards), or direct connections through Hong Kong, then continue to Phnom Penh. The eVisa is approved before the first flight from AKL, so connections do not depend on visa counters.
What documents do New Zealand citizens need for the Cambodia eVisa?
You need a New Zealand passport valid for 6 months beyond entry, and a card to pay the $80 USD tourist fee. No flight ticket, hotel booking or embassy interview is required for the Cambodia online visa.
