Started the Cambodia eVisa application and got pulled away? Our checkout auto-saves every field — open the resume email and you're back exactly where you stopped, no retyping. The save window holds for 30 days. Tourist $80 USD (~$122 AUD), business $90 USD (~$137 AUD), approved in 3 business days.
Our Cambodia eVisa checkout does — yes. Every field auto-saves to your email address as you type, and a resume link lands in your inbox if you leave part-way through. The save window holds for 30 days. The official Cambodian government portal does not save progress; you start over each time you re-open it. Approved in 3 business days once you finish and pay, delivered as a printable PDF by email. Tourist $80 USD (~$122 AUD), business $90 USD (~$137 AUD) all-in.
The official portal does not save
For context: the official Cambodian government portal does not have a save-and-resume feature in 2026. If you start an application there and close the tab, you start over from field one the next time. That is a real friction point for travellers who like to fill applications in two or three sittings — which is most people.
Auto-save on our Cambodia eVisa checkout is invisible — there is no Save button to click, no progress bar to watch, no separate account to create. It works in the background as you type. The short version: the moment you type your email address in the first field, the application starts saving against that email. Every field you complete after that is held alongside it. Close the tab, go to bed, come back a week later — the same email gives you the same draft.
The resume flow is genuinely two clicks. If you started an application and either closed the tab or chose to come back later, here is what happens.
Within a few minutes of you leaving the application part-finished, we email a resume link to the address you used. The email subject is along the lines of "Your Cambodia eVisa application — pick up where you left off". It comes from our standard sender domain, not a Gmail or Hotmail address, so check your inbox first. If it is not in the main inbox after fifteen minutes, check Promotions on Gmail or the Junk folder on Outlook — depending on your spam filter, some providers route auto-generated emails there.
The email contains a single Resume Application button. Click it and the application re-opens in your browser with every field you'd filled in pre-populated. Scroll through, double-check what you'd already entered is still correct (this is the moment to check passport details — see the stale-data section below), fill the remaining fields, and pay. The whole resume action from clicking the email button to landing on your part-filled form is about five seconds.
Same device or different device — both work
The resume link works from any device. You can start the application on your laptop at home, get pulled away, and finish it on your phone on the train the next morning. Click the email link on whichever device you have to hand. The saved draft is tied to your email address, not to a specific browser or device.
The auto-save holds for 30 days from your last activity on the application. After 30 days of no resumes, no clicks and no logins, the saved draft is cleared automatically — fields, photo upload, passport scan, the lot. This is a deliberate design choice rather than a bug. Holding personal data forever is a security and privacy risk; thirty days is the sweet spot for the realistic window an Aussie traveller plans a Cambodia trip across.
You can start the application up to a month before your Cambodia trip and resume any time inside that window. The clock resets every time you click the resume link and load the saved form — so if you started on day one, resumed on day fifteen and added more fields, the new 30-day clock starts from day fifteen, not from day one. The draft only clears if you genuinely do not touch it for 30 consecutive days.
Do nothing in a panic. Browser tabs close all the time — phones lock, laptops go to sleep, the OS auto-reloads after an update. Auto-save runs every few seconds, so the last field you actively typed is almost certainly already saved. Wait for the resume email (a few minutes), click the link, confirm what's there, and carry on. The only thing not saved is anything you typed in the same second as the tab closed — and that's at most one or two characters.
Always re-read your passport block on resume
When you click the resume link, the first thing to do — before adding any new fields — is scroll back to the passport number, passport issue date and passport expiry date. Read each one off your current passport letter-for-letter. If anything has changed (renewal, replacement after loss, second passport), overwrite the saved value and upload a fresh bio-page scan before continuing.
Families and couples applying together get the same auto-save behaviour, with one wrinkle worth knowing. Each Cambodia eVisa is one application per person — every traveller needs their own form, photo, passport scan, and approval PDF. So if a family of four are flying to Phnom Penh together, that's four separate applications, each saved against the email address used.
You can apply for the whole family under one parent's email — that is the most common Aussie pattern. Each application is saved as a separate draft against that one email, and you'll get four separate resume links if you stop part-way through. Or each adult can use their own email and the kids' applications sit under whichever parent's email is most convenient. Both patterns work. The visa office cares about each application individually; the email is just how we route the resume links and the final approval PDFs.
