Cambodia Visa Cost for an Aussie Family of 4 (2026 Breakdown)

How the four applications work in practice

Each of the four eVisa applications is a separate submission with its own photo, its own passport bio-data scan, and its own arrival airport selection. They are not joined into a single shared application — Cambodian Immigration needs four distinct records. What we do at the order level is let one parent enter all four passport sets in a single sitting, upload all four photos, pay once with one card, and receive all four approved PDFs by email three business days later. From the bank statement side it looks like one $320 USD (~$488 AUD) charge to our checkout, not four separate per-passport charges, which keeps the receipt-keeping tidy for family budgeting.

What each family member needs

• A valid Australian passport with at least 6 months from arrival date and at least 1 blank page (children's passports follow the same rule — Australian child passports are typically 5-year validity, so check the expiry on each one before you start)
• A digital colour passport photo taken within the last 6 months on a plain background, with the child looking directly at the camera and their face fully visible (no smiles required; eyes open)
• A clear scan or phone-camera shot of the bio-data page of their passport
• Their full legal name exactly as it appears on the passport, date of birth, and place of birth
• A planned arrival airport in Cambodia (Phnom Penh KTI, Siem Reap SAI, or Sihanoukville KOS) — this can be set the same for all four
• Email address for delivery — one shared family email is fine; all four PDFs land in the same inbox

The photo step is the one parents most often ask about for younger children. The rules are the same as for adults: plain light background, full face visible, both eyes open, no glasses, no head covering unless religious. For a toddler or infant the cleanest method is to lay them on a plain white sheet of paper on the floor and take a phone photo straight down with good natural light, then crop to a square. We have written an Aussie-specific photo-self-take guide that walks through both adult and child shots.

Edge cases that come up with family applications

Four people in one order means four times the chance of a small input error — a wrong middle name, a slightly off date of birth, a photo that crops a fraction too tight. Most of these get caught at our end before submission, and if Immigration does flag one of the four for a correction, the free resubmission applies to that specific application without affecting the other three. The other three keep their approved status and their PDFs while the one with the flag gets fixed and re-submitted.

Dual-citizen kids

A growing number of Aussie families have one or two children who hold both Australian and a second-country passport (UK, Italian, Indian, etc). The cleanest rule for Cambodia: every child should apply on the same passport they will physically present at Cambodian Immigration on arrival. If you are flying Sydney to Phnom Penh and presenting Australian passports for the parents, all four eVisas should be on Australian passports. Do not mix and match — the eVisa is tied to the specific passport number on the application. The dual-citizens guide covers the corner cases.

Kids on emergency or recently renewed passports

If one of the kids was issued a new passport in the last few weeks (a common scenario when a renewal lands just before a school-holiday trip) the eVisa needs to be on the new passport number, not the old one. The application uses the passport number as the unique key. If the old eVisa was already approved before the new passport arrived, that approval is tied to the cancelled passport and is no longer usable — a fresh application on the new passport is needed. We treat that as a fresh paid application, not a free resubmission.

What if one application gets flagged?

On a four-person family order, if Cambodian Immigration flags one of the four for a correction — say a photo that came back slightly too dark, or a passport scan with glare on the page — we fix that one application without re-charging. The other three are unaffected. You will get three approved PDFs on the original 3-business-day timeline and the fourth PDF will follow once the correction is processed (usually within another business day). The flagged-application piece walks through what the most common flag types look like.

Where the visa sits inside the wider family trip budget

$340 USD (~$518 AUD) for the four Tourist eVisas plus four e-Arrival Cards is the Cambodia entry paperwork line. For an Aussie family of four flying Sydney or Melbourne to Phnom Penh on a school-holiday trip, the wider trip budget typically includes return flights ($1,200-$1,800 AUD per person depending on dates and carrier — kids often slightly cheaper), accommodation (mid-range family-room rates in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh sit around $80-$150 AUD per night), inland transport, food, Angkor Wat passes ($72 USD or ~$110 AUD adult, free for kids under 12), and insurance.

Against a typical 10-14 day family-of-four Cambodia trip budget of roughly $8,000-$14,000 AUD all-up, the $518 AUD entry paperwork subtotal is about 4-6% of the total spend — meaningful but not the biggest line. The two larger trip-cost decisions for a family are flight timing (April school holidays and Christmas school holidays can run $400-$600 AUD more per person than shoulder months) and accommodation tier (whether you choose interconnecting standard rooms or a family suite has a big effect on the nightly rate). The visa cost is fixed and predictable, which is one less unknown to budget against.

Returning Aussie families: nothing has changed on per-person pricing

If you took the kids to Cambodia in 2023 or 2024 and you are looking at the cost again for a 2026 trip: the $80 USD (~$122 AUD) per-person Tourist price is unchanged, the per-person structure is unchanged, and the no-kids-discount rule is unchanged. What has changed is the e-Arrival Card requirement (now mandatory for every air arrival including children) and the Phnom Penh airport (now KTI Techo International, which replaced PNH on 9 September 2025). Both of those are addressed in the wider returning-traveller piece.
