Die Cambodia e-Arrival Card ist ein separater Schritt von Ihrem eVisum, und ein kleiner — $5 USD, von uns verifiziert, 14 Felder, eingereicht innerhalb von 7 Tagen vor Ihrem Flug. Hier erfahren Sie genau, was diese Gebühr abdeckt, warum sie nicht in Ihren Visumspreis eingerechnet ist, und den Zeitpunkt, der Sie am Gate voranbringt.

The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is $5 USD verified through us — a separate step from your eVisa, not part of the visa price. It is a short pre-arrival form, 14 fields across three sections, mandatory for every air arrival, and filed within 7 days before you land. Your visa and your e-Arrival Card are two distinct transactions: the Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in and the Business eVisa is $90 USD, both approved in 3 business days, and the e-Arrival Card sits on top at $5 USD. You pay the visa fee once when you apply, and the e-Arrival fee once in the week before departure. That is the whole cost picture for an American flying into Cambodia in 2026.
Most Americans planning a Cambodia trip expect a single visa charge and are then briefly thrown when a second, smaller fee appears for something called the e-Arrival Card. The short version: these are two different things doing two different jobs. Your eVisa is permission to enter the country. Your e-Arrival Card is the pre-arrival declaration — who you are, the flight you are on, where you are staying, and what you are bringing in — that Cambodian Immigration now collects digitally before you land instead of on a paper slip at the desk.
The $5 USD covers your verified e-Arrival Card filed and delivered as a printable confirmation, checked end-to-end before it reaches Cambodian Immigration. The card itself is short — 14 fields across three sections — but the fields are the kind that are easy to get subtly wrong, and a flagged card is a problem you discover at the worst possible moment, standing at the immigration desk in Phnom Penh.
The three sections are straightforward once you know what each is asking. The first is about you — passport number, full name exactly as it appears on the bio page, nationality, date of birth. The second is about your trip — flight number, arrival date, the port you are flying into, and your address in Cambodia. The third is the customs declaration — what you are carrying, whether you have anything to declare, the standard arrival questions every country asks. None of it is hard. All of it has to match.
The fee is per traveler
Every air arrival needs their own e-Arrival Card — there is no family card and no group discount. A family of four flying in together files four cards, each at $5 USD, even for infants. Each card is tied to one passport, the same way each eVisa is.

These are two separate line items, paid at two separate times, and it helps to see them side by side. Your visa fee is the big one and you pay it once when you apply. Your e-Arrival fee is the small one and you pay it once in the week before you fly. Neither replaces the other, and skipping the e-Arrival because you already paid for the visa is the misunderstanding that gets American travelers pulled aside at the gate.

Erste Reise nach Kambodscha? Hier ist die ehrliche Checkliste für Erstbesucher aus Amerika — das Visum, die US-Dollar-Geldbesonderheit, die Sicherheitsrealität, die Impfungen, der Tempel-Kleidungsstil und wie die Ankunft am neuen Flughafen im Jahr 2026 tatsächlich aussieht.

Drei Möglichkeiten, die 310 Kilometer zwischen der Hauptstadt Kambodschas und Angkor Wat zurückzulegen: ein $15 Expressbus, ein 45-minütiger Flug oder eine langsame Flussfähre. Hier erfahren Sie, was jede Option für einen amerikanischen Reisenden tatsächlich kostet, wie lange sie dauert und welche zu Ihrer Reise passt.
One thing worth saying plainly: the e-Arrival Card is not optional and it is not bundled into your visa, so do not budget for the visa and then get surprised at the gate. Every air arrival into Cambodia in 2026 files one. Plan for both fees from the start and the whole entry is frictionless.

Timing is where the e-Arrival Card differs most sharply from the visa, and where the most avoidable mistakes happen. You file the card within 7 days before your arrival in Cambodia — not the moment you book your trip, not the day you get your visa approved, and not at the airport gate. Too early and the form falls outside the window; too late and you are filing in a panic at the departure lounge. The sweet spot is two to three days before you fly, once your flight details are settled.
This catches Americans out because the instinct, after the relief of an approved visa, is to knock out every remaining form immediately. With the e-Arrival Card, that instinct works against you. The card is keyed to a specific arrival date and flight, and the system expects that information to be current. File it nine days out and you may have to redo it; file it once you are inside the 7-day window and it locks in cleanly.

A handful of the same wrong assumptions come up again and again, and clearing them now saves you a surprise later. Most of them trace back to the fact that the e-Arrival Card is newer than the visa and that travelers expect it to behave like other entry forms they have filled out elsewhere.
