Ni-Vanuatu travellers apply for the Cambodia eVisa online from Port Vila — both passports of birth and Citizenship-by-Investment Vanuatu passports are accepted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, approved in 3 business days before your Air Vanuatu Brisbane or Fiji Airways Nadi connection.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Ni-Vanuatu citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Ni-Vanuatu citizens
Yes — Ni-Vanuatu citizens need a visa to enter Cambodia. Every Vanuatu passport holder, whether issued through birth, descent or the Development Support Programme Citizenship by Investment route, must hold either a Type T tourist electronic visa or a Type E business eVisa. The Cambodia online visa is the only realistic route because Cambodia maintains no embassy in Port Vila or anywhere in the Pacific Islands Forum region. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves Vanuatu applications in 3 business days, with the Canberra-accredited non-resident ambassador covering Vanuatu only for diplomatic matters — not tourist eVisas.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 — both prices are all-inclusive. Upload your passport bio page and a photo, 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 and photo
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.
Tip for Ni-Vanuatu travellers: Apply 7-10 days before your Port Vila (VLI) departure — Air Vanuatu flies VLI-Brisbane and VLI-Sydney several days a week and Fiji Airways runs VLI-Nadi, with onward Singapore Airlines, Cathay or Qantas to Bangkok or Hong Kong, so applying early leaves buffer to fix a passport-typo error before the long-haul leg.
From application to email
How Ni-Vanuatu Citizens Apply for a Cambodia eVisa
The Cambodia online visa application takes 4 simple steps — form to inbox in 3 business days. Our team handles everything between paying and printing your approved electronic visa.
Fill your application
Enter your Vanuatu passport details exactly as Latin-printed on the biographical page — Bislama, French and English name spellings must match the MRZ chip exactly, so use the passport-page version not the local community ID.
01
Pay securely
Upload a recent colour passport-style photo on a white background; older Ni-Vanuatu national-ID portraits and resort-holiday selfies are rejected by the Cambodian e-Visa system at Ministry of Foreign Affairs review.
02
Expert review & submit
Pay the all-inclusive $80 USD tourist or $90 USD business fee by card — your statement will show the equivalent in VUV at checkout because Vanuatu uses the Vanuatu vatu, and Stripe handles the USD-VUV conversion at the live interbank rate.
03
eVisa delivered to your email
Approval lands in your inbox in 3 business days as a PDF with QR code — print two copies before leaving Port Vila, one for the Air Vanuatu or Fiji Airways desk at VLI and one for the immigration officer at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap-Angkor International.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Ni-Vanuatu Travellers Choose?
Pick the Cambodia eVisa type that matches your travel purpose. Choosing wrong can result in entry denial or fines under Cambodian immigration law.
Tourist eVisa
For leisure travel, family visits and short stays.
The Tourist eVisa is the right choice for most Ni-Vanuatu travellers visiting Cambodia. It covers sightseeing in Siem Reap, beach time in the Koh Rong islands, visiting Angkor Wat, and staying with family or friends — anything that isn't paid work or formal business activity.
Best for: tourism, leisure, visiting family or friends, short cultural trips
Allows: hotel stays, sightseeing, beach travel, river cruises
Does NOT allow: paid work, formal business meetings, signing deals
Apply: 100% online in 10 minutes — no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing — government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Ni-Vanuatu leisure travellers almost always pick the Type T tourist eVisa at $80 USD for Angkor Wat plus Cambodia's southern islands, while Ni-Vanuatu professionals and CBI passport-holders working on Pacific-Asia trade, ASEAN cooperation or NGO development projects in Phnom Penh choose the Type E business visa at $90 USD because it supports indefinite extensions inside Cambodia. CBI-issued Vanuatu passports are processed under the same eVisa criteria as birth-issued passports — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reviews by passport details, not how citizenship was acquired.
Important: Using a Tourist visa for business activities (meetings, deals, employment) violates Cambodian immigration law and may result in deportation or future entry bans. When in doubt, choose Business.

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Ni-Vanuatu Citizens
Both options exist for Ni-Vanuatu travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters — price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Ni-Vanuatu travellers used to Efate, Espiritu Santo and reef-island life find a natural extension at Cambodia's southern coast — Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem after the temple circuit at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. Ni-Vanuatu visitors typically anchor 3-4 days in Siem Reap for the Angkor Wat sunrise circuit, drop down to Phnom Penh by Mekong cruise and finish on the Sihanoukville islands, all comfortably inside the 30-day Type T allowance.
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.

What is the best route from Vanuatu to Cambodia?

How long can Ni-Vanuatu citizens stay in Cambodia on a tourist eVisa?
The Type T tourist electronic visa allows Vanuatu passport holders up to 30 days inside Cambodia from the date of entry. The visa itself is valid for 90 days from issue, allowing flexibility for Port Vila departures.
Can Vanuatu CBI passports use the Cambodia eVisa?
Yes — Vanuatu passports issued under the Citizenship by Investment Development Support Programme are accepted by the Cambodian eVisa system. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reviews each application by the passport details, not how citizenship was acquired.
