Cambodia Visa Types Explained for Australians: 2026 Full Catalogue (T, E, A, K, B)

Cambodia's five-class visa system, simplified for Aussies

Search around for 'Cambodia visa types' and you will find lists, tables, and infographics that gleefully name five visa classes — T, E, A, K, B — as if each one is a live option an Australian traveller might pick at the application stage. They are not. Cambodia does operate a five-class visa system on paper, codified by the General Department of Immigration and used internally to categorise every foreign national entering the country. But for ordinary Aussies — leisure travellers, business travellers, digital nomads, retirees, family visitors — only two of those classes are ever issued: T and E. The other three are reserved for people whose passport, posting, or heritage already places them outside the ordinary tourist track.

This guide is the honest 2026 catalogue. We will walk through what each of the five classes is actually for, which ones an Australian can apply for through the eVisa portal, which ones live exclusively at the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Canberra, and — most importantly — which one fits the trip you are planning. By the end you should know with certainty whether your trip is a T job or an E job. If you walk away thinking you need an A, K, or B class, you have either a very unusual situation or you have read the table wrong.

The five Cambodia visa classes — full attribute table

Below is the complete catalogue of Cambodia visa classes as they stand in mid-2026, mapped to Australian relevance and where you would actually apply for each one. Two classes — T and E — are the only ones available through the online eVisa portal and the only ones an ordinary Aussie will ever lodge themselves. Three classes — A, K, and B — sit outside the portal entirely and require an embassy submission, eligibility paperwork, or in some cases an institutional sponsor. The honest answer for around 99% of Aussies is the top two rows.

T-Class (Tourist) — the right answer for ~95% of Aussies

E-Class (Business / Ordinary) — the right answer for ~4% of Aussies

A, K, B classes — niche, not for ordinary Aussies

The remaining three classes exist on paper for completeness, but the eligibility door is firmly shut on ordinary Australian travellers. A-Class (Diplomatic) is reserved for accredited foreign diplomats, posted consular officers, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials travelling on a diplomatic passport. If you do not hold a diplomatic passport — and almost no Aussies do — you cannot apply for an A-Class regardless of how senior your civilian role is. K-Class is for people of Khmer descent returning to Cambodia long-term, with eligibility paperwork that proves Khmer lineage through one or both parents. It is a small but meaningful category for Khmer-Australian dual citizens but irrelevant to non-Khmer-heritage Aussies. B-Class is for foreign government officials travelling on official duty, UN postings, and accredited delegations holding an official (not diplomatic) passport. Like A-Class, it is closed to ordinary Australian civilian travellers.
