Das Touristenvisa für Kambodscha kostet für US-Bürger alles inklusive $80 USD — ein Festpreis, genehmigt innerhalb von 3 Werktagen, geliefert als druckbares PDF per E-Mail. Kein Flug, kein Hotel, kein Kontoauszug. Hier erfahren Sie genau, was diese $80 abdecken, und die eine zusätzliche Kosten, die die meisten Amerikaner übersehen.
A Cambodia Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in for US citizens. That is one flat price — there are no processing tiers and no rush upsell — and it is approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email. The price covers the visa end to end, including free resubmission if Cambodian Immigration flags a correction and US-timezone support. The one cost that sits outside the visa is the mandatory e-Arrival Card, which is $5 USD verified through us, so a single American traveler should budget $85 USD in total. You do not need a return flight, hotel booking, or bank statement to apply.
A Cambodia Tourist eVisa costs $80 USD all-in for US citizens. That is the whole number for the visa itself — one flat price, no processing tiers, no express upsell, no per-traveler add-ons buried in a final checkout screen. You pay $80 USD, your application is approved in 3 business days, and the approved visa lands in your inbox as a printable PDF. For a category of purchase that usually comes with fine print, the Cambodia Tourist eVisa is refreshingly flat.
Most Americans pricing out a Cambodia trip in 2026 arrive expecting the kind of tiered menu they see on other visa products — a base fee, then a "standard" tier, a "priority" tier, an "express" tier, and a scatter of optional extras that quietly double the number. Cambodia does not work that way for the Tourist eVisa. There is one track, one timeline, and one price. The only cost that genuinely sits outside the visa is the e-Arrival Card, and we will cover that in full below so it never surprises you at the airport.
The $80 USD is the price of the Tourist eVisa from the moment you start the form to the moment the approved PDF reaches your inbox. It is not a deposit, not a base rate, and not a "starting from" figure. Here is everything that single number carries for an American applicant in 2026.
The part that matters most for budgeting is the second line. There is one processing track for the Tourist eVisa, full stop. You will sometimes see other products advertise a cheaper "standard" speed and a pricier "rush" speed — that split does not exist here. Every Cambodia Tourist eVisa is worked on the same 3-business-day schedule, which is why the price you see when you start is the price you pay when you finish.
Here is the single line item that catches US travelers out, and the reason it deserves its own section: the e-Arrival Card. It is not part of the Tourist eVisa, it is not optional, and it is the most common thing Americans forget when they price out the trip. Every air arrival into Cambodia in 2026 has to file one.
The e-Arrival Card is a separate pre-arrival declaration — 14 fields across three short sections — that you submit within the 7 days before your flight. It is $5 USD verified through us, delivered as a ready-to-scan QR code. So the honest, all-in number for a single American traveler is $80 USD for the Tourist eVisa plus $5 USD for the e-Arrival Card: $85 USD total. For a couple, that is $170 USD; for a family of four, $340 USD. Each traveler needs their own visa and their own e-Arrival Card — there is no family bundle.
A real part of the Cambodia Tourist eVisa price story is the costs that simply are not there. Americans coming from a Vietnam, Indonesia, or India process often budget for documents and bookings they assume any visa demands. Cambodia asks for none of them at the application stage, which keeps the true cost of qualifying at zero beyond the visa fee itself.
This matters for the budget because it means the visa price is the visa price. With many destinations, the headline visa fee is the smallest part of a much larger "cost to qualify" — a refundable hotel you book just to satisfy the form, a flight you commit to before you are ready, an insurance policy bought purely as evidence. Cambodia strips all of that out. The $80 USD is the cost of being eligible to enter, not the down payment on a stack of supporting purchases.
Cambodia issues two eVisa classes, and the price gap between them is smaller than most US travelers expect — $10 USD. The Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in; the Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in. Both are approved in 3 business days and both arrive as a printable PDF by email. So the question is never really about the money. It is about which visa your trip actually needs.
The Tourist eVisa is the right and cheaper choice for genuine leisure — Angkor Wat, the beaches at Sihanoukville and the islands, a Mekong cruise, visiting family, or any vacation that stays under 30 days and does not touch paid work. For the overwhelming majority of Americans flying to Cambodia, that is the trip, and $80 USD is the number.
The Business eVisa earns its extra $10 USD only when the trip is not pure leisure or runs longer than 30 days — meetings, conferences, supplier visits, freelance gigs, or a stay you intend to extend in-country. The Tourist eVisa caps hard at 30 days, and the old tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so there is no way to stretch it. If any of that describes your trip, the $10 is not an upsell — it is buying the correct visa class.

Plan the Laos route →Pull it together and the entry cost for an American on a standard leisure trip is easy to budget because the numbers are fixed and few. For one traveler: $80 USD for the Tourist eVisa, plus $5 USD for the e-Arrival Card, for $85 USD total. There is no departure tax to add at the airport, no on-arrival visa counter to pay at, and no stamp fee on top.
The only variable worth naming is the one outside the visa entirely: if your US card charges a foreign-transaction fee, that adds a small percentage to the charge — typically a dollar or two on an $85 USD total — and that comes from your bank, not from the visa. Use a card with no foreign-transaction fee and even that disappears. Everything else is the flat $85 USD.
Timing, not money, is the thing to manage. The eVisa is valid for 3 months from issue, so you can apply well ahead without the visa expiring before your trip. The smart sequence for most Americans is to apply for the visa once your dates are roughly set, then file the e-Arrival Card inside the final week before departure. That order keeps both forms inside their windows and means the only thing standing between you and the gate is a printed PDF and a QR code on your phone.
