Uruguayan travellers apply for the Cambodia eVisa online from Montevideo in minutes, approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days. Most routes leave Carrasco (MVD) via Sao Paulo (GRU) on LATAM or via Buenos Aires (EZE) on Aerolineas, onward to Bangkok and Phnom Penh.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Uruguayan citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Uruguayan citizens
Uruguayan passport holders need a Cambodia tourist visa (Type T) or business visa (Type E) before arrival, and the electronic visa is the cleanest route since Cambodia has no embassy or consulate in Montevideo. Apply online from Montevideo, Punta del Este or Colonia with a Uruguayan credit or debit card; the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves most files in 3 business days. The PDF lands in your inbox — print it, fly LATAM MVD via Sao Paulo or Aerolineas MVD via Buenos Aires, and present it at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 — both prices are all-inclusive. Upload your passport bio page and a photo, fill in a few details, and your electronic visa lands in your inbox before you fly.
What you don't need:
No embassy visit or appointment
No flight booking required before you apply
No hotel reservation needed
No bank statement or proof of funds
No paperwork beyond your passport and photo
Once approved, your eVisa allows a 30-day single entry stay within 3 months of the issue date. Need longer? Extend at any local immigration office in Cambodia before your 30 days run out.
Tip for Uruguayan travellers: Uruguayan travellers benefit from the country's stable banking and easy card acceptance — book the MVD–GRU–DOH–BKK or MVD–EZE–MAD–BKK leg 10–12 weeks ahead and apply for the electronic visa 2–3 weeks before departure. No yellow fever certificate is required for Uruguayan travellers.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Uruguayan Travellers Choose?
Pick the Cambodia eVisa type that matches your travel purpose. Choosing wrong can result in entry denial or fines under Cambodian immigration law.
Tourist eVisa
For leisure travel, family visits and short stays.
The Tourist eVisa is the right choice for most Uruguayan travellers visiting Cambodia. It covers sightseeing in Siem Reap, beach time in the Koh Rong islands, visiting Angkor Wat, and staying with family or friends — anything that isn't paid work or formal business activity.
Best for: tourism, leisure, visiting family or friends, short cultural trips
Allows: hotel stays, sightseeing, beach travel, river cruises
Does NOT allow: paid work, formal business meetings, signing deals
Apply: 100% online in 10 minutes — no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing — government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Cambodia visa on arrival is available to Uruguayan passport holders at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports for $30-36 USD cash, but after the long MVD–GRU–BKK or MVD–EZE–MAD–BKK routing most travellers prefer the pre-approved electronic visa to walk straight past the queue. The eVisa is also accepted at Poipet, Bavet, Cham Yeam and Tropaeng Kreal land borders, useful for Uruguayan visitors combining Cambodia with Thailand or Vietnam in a single ASEAN trip.
Important: Using a Tourist visa for business activities (meetings, deals, employment) violates Cambodian immigration law and may result in deportation or future entry bans. When in doubt, choose Business.

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Uruguayan Citizens
Both options exist for Uruguayan travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters — price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Uruguayan travellers used to the calm coast of Punta del Este, the colonial streets of Colonia and the open pampas will find Cambodia a deep tropical pivot — Angkor Wat's sandstone temples and Tonle Sap's wetlands deliver a quiet archaeological-and-natural rhythm, while Phnom Penh's French-colonial avenues echo the European-influenced streets of Montevideo. Plan 14–16 days to cover Angkor Wat at sunrise, Phnom Penh and a southern coast stretch on Koh Rong or Kep.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
The world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most iconic site. Most visitors base themselves in Siem Reap for 2–3 days to explore the temple complex at sunrise.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Phnom Penh
Cambodia's capital blends French colonial architecture with vibrant street markets, the Royal Palace, and sobering history at the Killing Fields and S-21 museum.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Koh Rong Islands
Some of Southeast Asia's last undeveloped beaches. Accessible by ferry from Sihanoukville — no internal flights or extra visas needed.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Kampot & Kep
A slow-paced riverside town famous for its pepper farms, French colonial buildings, and the freshwater crab market at Kep — a perfect 2-day escape from the cities.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
Getting around
Tuk-tuks are everywhere — agree the fare first. The PassApp and Grab apps give metered, cashless rides in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Domestic flights link the major cities.

Visa Requirements for Other Southeast Asia Countries
Many Uruguayan travellers booking a Cambodia visa for Uruguayan citizens combine their trip with neighbouring countries. Here's what you need to know about visas for nearby Southeast Asia destinations.
Everything left to know before you apply for your Cambodia tourist visa or Cambodia e-Visa. If your question isn't here, our team replies via WhatsApp or email within minutes.
Do Uruguayan citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — Uruguayan passport holders need a Type T tourist visa or Type E business visa for any stay. The Cambodia electronic visa is approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days and is the only practical route from Montevideo since Cambodia has no embassy in Uruguay.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Uruguay?
No — Cambodia maintains no embassy or consulate in Uruguay. The nearest Cambodian missions for paper visa applications are in Washington DC and Bangkok, which is why the e-Visa is the standard route for Uruguayan citizens from Montevideo, Punta del Este and Salto.
Do Uruguayans need a yellow fever vaccination certificate for Cambodia?
No — Uruguay is not on Cambodia's yellow fever transmission risk list, so Uruguayan passport holders do not need to present a vaccination certificate at Phnom Penh airport. This contrasts with travellers from neighbouring Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia who are all required to carry one.
How much is the Cambodia eVisa for Uruguayan citizens?
Our service charges $80 USD for the Type T tourist eVisa and $90 USD for the Type E business eVisa. The Cambodian government fee alone is $30 USD; the remainder covers Ministry submission, error-check and email delivery. USD is widely understood for international transactions in Uruguay and your card statement will show the equivalent in UYU at checkout.
How long does the Cambodia visa take for Uruguayan passport holders?
Standard processing is 3 business days for Uruguayan applicants. Travellers flying from Carrasco via São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Madrid or Doha to Bangkok should apply at least 2-3 weeks before departure for buffer time on the long-haul connection.
How long can Uruguayans stay in Cambodia on the tourist eVisa?
The Type T tourist online visa allows a 30-day stay from the date of entry, with the visa valid 90 days from issue. Uruguayan travellers combining Angkor Wat with regional Mercosur or ASEAN trips can extend once inside Cambodia through the General Department of Immigration.
What documents do Uruguayan citizens need for the Cambodia online visa?
A Uruguayan passport valid 6 months beyond entry, a colour passport-style photo, and a card for the $80 USD payment. No yellow fever certificate, flight booking, hotel reservation or in-person consular step is required for the Cambodia electronic visa.
Do Uruguayans need the Cambodia e-Arrival form?
Yes — every foreign visitor including Uruguayan passport holders must submit the e-Arrival form within 7 days before arrival. It is in English, separate from the e-Visa, and replaces the old paper arrival card at every Cambodian airport.
