Cambodia eVisa for Kids and Families: How Americans Apply for Children
Every traveler in your family needs their own Cambodia eVisa — including the baby. Here is how US parents apply for children: one application each, the same five documents, $80 USD per person, all approved in 3 business days.
How do US families apply for a Cambodia eVisa for children?
You apply for one separate eVisa per child, under each child's own US passport — there is no family visa and no shared application. Every child, including a newborn, needs the same five things an adult does: a US passport, a passport-style photo, a passport bio-page scan, an email address, and a payment method. Each child eVisa is $80 USD and approved in 3 business days, exactly like an adult. The practical trick is to run the whole family in one session: complete each traveler's application back-to-back and settle everything at a single checkout. Each child also needs their own e-Arrival Card for air arrivals.
Conclusiones clave
- Every child needs their own Cambodia eVisa under their own US passport — there is no family visa, no shared application, and no infant exemption.
- Each child eVisa costs the same as an adult: Tourist $80 USD, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email.
- A family of four is four separate applications, but you can submit them back-to-back in one session and pay once at a single checkout.
- Every child needs the same five documents as an adult, including a neutral-expression passport-style photo — the baby photo is the hardest part.
- The e-Arrival Card is also one per traveler: $5 USD per child, 14 fields each, submitted within 7 days before you fly.
The one rule that surprises every US family
Plenty of countries fold children onto a parent's entry or waive the fee for under-twos. Cambodia does not. The eVisa system is built around one passport, one application, one approval — and Cambodian Immigration reads each traveler as an individual record at the gate. That means your six-month-old needs a US passport, a passport-style photo, and their own $80 USD eVisa, the same as you do. The per-traveler rule is the same one that governs every Cambodia visa for US citizens; it feels strict on paper, but the mechanics are simple once you know to plan for it.
This guide walks through exactly how US parents apply for children: the per-traveler rule, the family-session workflow that lets you do it all at once, the documents each child needs, the baby-photo problem, and the separate e-Arrival step for every traveler. When you are ready, you can apply for the whole family in one go. If you are still deciding whether the kids even need a visa, our guide on whether children need a Cambodia visa answers that first.
One eVisa per traveler — no family visa exists
Because every child is a full-price application, the family budget scales linearly: a family of four is four times $80 USD, a family of five is five. There are no sibling discounts and no caps. If you want the exact math laid out for different family sizes, our breakdown of Cambodia visa cost for families and children with kids does the multiplication for you and shows where the e-Arrival fees land on top.
How to apply for the whole family in one session
You can use one email address for the entire family. The approval PDFs all arrive in the same inbox, each clearly labeled with the traveler's name, so you are not chasing four separate accounts. Use an email you actually check and that accepts PDF attachments — a personal Gmail or Outlook account is ideal, since corporate inboxes that block attachments are a common way the approval letters get lost. If you want to see each form field before you start, our step-by-step guide to applying for the Cambodia eVisa online walks through the screens one at a time.
What each child needs — the same five documents
Preguntas frecuentes
Does my child need their own Cambodia eVisa?
Yes. Every traveler needs their own Cambodia eVisa under their own passport, regardless of age. There is no family visa, no shared application, and no exemption for infants. A six-day-old needs the same eVisa as an adult. Cambodian Immigration reads each passport against its own visa record, so if a child does not have one, the airline will flag it at your US departure gate.
How much does a Cambodia eVisa cost for a child?
The same as an adult: $80 USD for the Tourist eVisa, approved in 3 business days. There is no child discount, no infant rate, and no family bundle. A family of four is four times $80 USD. Each child eVisa is delivered as its own printable PDF, just like an adult's.
Can I apply for my whole family in one go?
Yes. The efficient way is to run every traveler back-to-back in a single session and pay once at one checkout. Complete the first family member's form, add the next traveler, and keep going until everyone is in. You can use one email address for the whole family — each approval PDF is labeled with the traveler's name — and one card covers the family total, billed in USD.
What documents does my child need for the Cambodia eVisa?
The same five an adult needs: a US passport in the child's own name with at least 6 months validity and a blank page, a passport-style photo (white background, neutral expression, no hats), a clear scan of the passport bio page, an email address, and a payment method. Infants need their own US passport before you can apply — there is no way to add a baby to a parent's book.
How do I take a passport photo of a baby for the eVisa?
Lay a plain white sheet or blanket flat, lay the baby on their back on it, and shoot straight down from directly above with your phone's rear camera. The white sheet becomes the background and you avoid shadows. Keep hands and toys out of the frame, no pacifier, eyes open where possible, neutral expression. Take a burst and pick the calmest frame, then save as a JPEG and crop to a square. A slightly open mouth is usually fine; a wide laugh or a cry is not.
¿Los niños necesitan su propia tarjeta de llegada electrónica?
Yes. The e-Arrival Card is one per traveler, including every child. A family of four files four cards, each with its own 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before your flight. Each card must match that child's eVisa and passport exactly. It is $5 USD per child verified through us. File them all in one sitting once your flights are booked so nobody is the missing card at the gate.
