Die Cambodia e-Arrival Card erfordert 14 Informationen in drei Abschnitten — Ihre Identität, Ihren Flug und Aufenthalt sowie eine kurze Zollerklärung. Hier erfahren Sie genau, was jedes Feld verlangt und welche vier Dinge Sie griffbereit haben sollten, bevor Sie beginnen.

You need 14 pieces of information across three sections. Section one is your identity, copied off your US passport: full name exactly as printed, passport number, nationality, date of birth, and sex. Section two is your trip: the inbound flight number for the final leg into Cambodia, your arrival date, your port of entry, and an address in Cambodia — a hotel name and city is enough. Section three is a short customs and health declaration of yes/no questions, which for most US tourists and business travelers are all "no." There is nothing to upload; you type it all in. Gather your passport, your final-leg flight confirmation, and the name of where you are staying, and you have everything the form asks for.
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card looks like a form you should dread and turns out to be one you can finish in a few minutes — once you know what it is actually asking for. There are 14 fields across three sections, nothing to upload, and every single answer comes from one of three places you already have in hand: your US passport, your flight confirmation, and the name of where you are staying. Get those three in front of you and the form has nothing left to surprise you with.
This is the digital version of the little paper arrival-and-customs slip a flight attendant used to hand you on the descent into Phnom Penh. Cambodia moved the whole thing online, so instead of scribbling on a tray table you enter the same information on your phone in the week before you fly and land with a QR code ready to scan. The information is identical to the old paper card; only the timing and the format have changed.
The card goes fastest when you never have to stop mid-form to dig for a number. Lay out three things first and you will fill all 14 fields in one sitting without a single guess. None of them takes more than a minute to find.
That is the whole prep list. The customs section in part three asks about what you are physically carrying, so there is nothing to gather for it — you answer from what is in your bags. One timing note: you can only file inside the 7 days before you arrive, so the natural moment to pull these three things together is when your flight details are locked, usually when you check in online or the day before you leave.

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.
Alle sieben Landgrenzen zwischen Thailand und Kambodscha sind seit Juni 2025 geschlossen, daher ist in 2026 der einzige Weg für Amerikaner, von Thailand nach Kambodscha zu gelangen, das Flugzeug. Hier erfahren Sie, wie die Routen Bangkok-nach-Siem Reap und Bangkok-nach-Phnom Penh funktionieren, welches Kambodscha eVisa Sie vor dem Boarding benötigen, und warum der alte Poipet-Überlandplan nicht mehr existiert.
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.
The first section is who you are, and every field is a straight copy off your US passport bio page. The watchword for all five is "exactly as printed." This is the section that has to match your eVisa, and matching is what gets you through the kiosk in seconds instead of minutes.
Full name: enter it exactly as it appears on your passport, including any middle name printed there. If your passport reads "Jonathan" and you go by "Jon," enter "Jonathan." Do not drop a middle name, abbreviate, or reorder the name parts. Passport number: copy it digit by digit and check it twice — a single transposed character is the most common identity-field error we see. Nationality: United States. Date of birth: read the format warning later in this guide before you type it, because the same trap that catches the arrival date catches the birth date. Sex: as shown on your passport.
Name discipline beats everything in this section. The card, your eVisa, and your passport all have to read the same name in the same order. If you recently married or changed your name and your passport still shows the old one, enter the old one — match the passport you will actually hand over at the counter, not the name on your driver's license or the nickname on your boarding pass.

The second section is how you are arriving and where you are headed. This is the part Cambodian Immigration cross-checks against the airline manifest, so it has to be right — and it is where the two classic American slips live.
Inbound flight number: enter the final leg that actually lands in Cambodia, not your US departure flight. If you fly Los Angeles to Seoul to Phnom Penh, the number on the card is the Seoul-to-Phnom-Penh leg, not the LAX-to-Seoul one. Americans almost always connect through Bangkok, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, or Doha, so the flight that matters is the short final hop into Cambodia. Arrival date: the day you land in Cambodia, in the local layout — read the format warning below before you type it. Port of entry: the airport you land at, picked from a list. Address in Cambodia: a hotel name and city is enough, with no booking reference or confirmation required.
On the port of entry, US travelers reach Cambodia at one of three airports in 2026: Techo International (KTI) near Phnom Penh, Siem Reap-Angkor (SAI), or Sihanouk (KOS). Pick the one your final leg actually lands at. If you booked your trip before September 2025 you may still have the old Phnom Penh airport code in your head — the new Techo International (KTI) replaced it, so your ticket and the card should both point at where you are genuinely arriving.

Here is the detail that catches more Americans than every other slip combined: the date format. The form reads day-month-year in places, and US travelers default to month-day-year out of pure habit. Enter 06/07 thinking July 6th when the system reads it as June 7th, and your arrival date lands a month off. That mismatch against the manifest is the single most common reason a US-filed card gets flagged at the kiosk, and it is a five-second mistake that costs you a trip back to the queue. The same layout applies to your date of birth in Section 1, so the same care applies there.
The fix is mechanical: read the field label and the on-screen format hint before you type, and where you have any doubt, select the day, month, and year from the picker rather than free-typing the slashes. Then sanity-check the result against your flight confirmation — if the screen shows your arrival as a different day than your ticket, you have hit the trap. Fix it before you submit.
The third section is the customs and health declaration — a short set of yes/no questions covering currency over the declarable threshold, restricted or prohibited goods, commercial merchandise, and anything else to declare. For the typical American tourist or business traveler the honest answer to every one of them is no, and that is completely fine. These are the same questions that lived on the old paper card; nothing here is a trick. Answer truthfully, and if you genuinely are carrying something declarable, declare it — the card is not the place to round down.
Once all 14 fields are in and checked, you submit and the system returns a confirmation with a QR code. Save it offline — screenshot it, and ideally print it too — so you are not depending on airport Wi-Fi or a dead battery when you reach the arrivals kiosk. That QR code is what the officer scans to pull your declaration, and it is the only thing you need to have ready at the counter.

Run a 30-second review before you submit. Name matches the passport exactly, including the middle name. Passport number has no transposed digits. Flight number is the final leg into Cambodia, not the US departure. Arrival date reads correctly in day-month-year and matches your ticket. Port of entry is the airport you actually land at. Customs answers are honest. Six checks against three sources, and they catch every mistake that sends US travelers back to the kiosk queue.
