Ein Kambodscha Tourist eVisa kostet $80 alles inklusive für US-Bürger; ein Geschäfts eVisa kostet $90. Das ist ein Unterschied von $10 — und es ist der einzige Preisunterschied, der zählt. Hier ist genau, was die zusätzlichen zehn Dollar kaufen, nebeneinander, ohne dass sich sonst etwas ändert.

For US citizens, the Cambodia Tourist eVisa costs $80 USD all-in and the Business eVisa costs $90 USD all-in — a flat $10 difference. That $10 is the only thing that changes on price. Both are 30-day single-entry visas, valid for 3 months from issue, approved in 3 business days, and delivered as a printable PDF by email. The extra $10 on the Business eVisa does not buy more days in the country or extra entries up front; it buys the Type E visa, which is the only Cambodia visa you can extend inside the country once you arrive. Add the separate $5 USD e-Arrival Card and a solo traveler pays $85 total on a Tourist eVisa or $95 on a Business eVisa. There is no rush surcharge, no weekend fee, and free resubmission is included on both.
What surprises most Americans pricing these two side by side is how little actually changes between them. The extra $10 does not buy a longer stay. It does not buy a second entry. Both visas give you the same 30 days in the country, the same single entry, the same 3-month validity window from the date of issue, and the same 3-business-day turnaround. On the surface, you are paying ten dollars more for what looks like the identical product.
Here is the comparison the way a US traveler actually needs to see it — price first, then every spec that does and does not change with it. The only row where the two columns differ on money is the visa fee itself. Everything else is identical, which is exactly why the $10 question is so simple to answer once you know what it is for.
Read down the two columns and the pattern is obvious. Nine of the ten rows are identical. The visa fee differs by $10, and the extend-inside-Cambodia row is the single capability the Business eVisa adds. That is the whole trade. You are not paying more for speed, for a longer initial stay, or for extra entries — none of those move with the price.

The honest answer: for most US tourists, the extra $10 buys nothing they will use. If you are flying into Phnom Penh or Siem Reap for a two-week trip, seeing Angkor Wat, and flying home, the Business eVisa gives you no advantage over the Tourist eVisa. Same 30 days, same single entry, same PDF in your inbox. You would be paying ten dollars for a capability you never touch.

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 extra $10 only earns its keep in one situation: you might need to stay in Cambodia longer than 30 days, and you want to keep that door open without committing to it before you fly. The Business eVisa is the Type E visa, and Type E is the only Cambodia visa you can extend from inside the country once you arrive. Extensions run in 1, 3, 6, and 12-month blocks, handled through a Cambodian immigration agent after entry. The Tourist eVisa cannot do this at all.
This gap matters far more in 2026 than it used to. The automatic tourist extension that travelers leaned on for years ended in November 2025. A Tourist eVisa is now a hard 30 days with no in-country path to add time — so if there is any real chance you stay longer, the Business eVisa is the version that keeps that option alive, and $10 is a small price to protect it.

The visa fee is not the only line on your entry cost, and pricing the two visas without the e-Arrival Card gives you the wrong total. Every US traveler arriving by air files a separate e-Arrival Card for $5 USD, verified through us — 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before you land. It is mandatory regardless of which visa you hold, so it adds the same $5 to either column.
That means the real all-in entry cost for a solo American is $85 on a Tourist eVisa ($80 visa + $5 e-Arrival) or $95 on a Business eVisa ($90 visa + $5 e-Arrival). The $10 visa gap survives intact once the e-Arrival Card is added, because the Card costs the same on both. For groups, the math scales straight per person — there is no family rate and no bundle discount on either the visa or the Card.

On cost grounds alone, the decision rule is clean. Pay $80 for the Tourist eVisa if your trip is a defined visit of 30 days or less and your return is booked inside that window — which describes almost every American tourist. Pay $90 for the Business eVisa only if there is a real chance you need to extend past 30 days from inside Cambodia, because that is the one thing the extra $10 protects.
Do not over-buy out of caution. The Business eVisa is not a safer or higher-tier version of the Tourist eVisa — it is a different visa class for a different need. Paying $90 for a fixed two-week holiday does not get you a better trip; it just spends $10 on an extension capability you will never reach for. Match the visa to the trip, not to the bigger number.
