Visa de turista para Camboya (Tipo T) para ciudadanos estadounidenses: ¿Qué incluye?
La visa de turista para Camboya (tipo T) es la visa electrónica que usa prácticamente todo viajero estadounidense: una estadía de 30 días con entrada única, válida por 3 meses a partir de su emisión, con un costo total $80 USD y aprobada en 3 días hábiles. Aquí le explicamos qué cubre y qué no.
What does the Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) cover for US citizens?
The Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) is the standard tourist eVisa for US citizens. It grants a single-entry stay of 30 days, is valid for 3 months from the issue date, and covers leisure travel — sightseeing at Angkor Wat, beach time in Sihanoukville, and visiting family or friends. It is $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, and delivered as a printable PDF by email. It does not cover paid work or long-term residence, and the tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Type-T no longer rolls into a low-cost renewal — once your 30 days are up, you leave or re-apply.
Conclusiones clave
- The Type-T is the standard Cambodia Tourist eVisa: a 30-day stay, single entry, for vacations, Angkor Wat, beaches, and visiting family or friends.
- It is valid for 3 months from the issue date — that is your window to enter, not the length of your stay, which is 30 days once you land.
- Single entry means one trip in: leave Cambodia and your Type-T is spent, even if days remain. A second visit needs a fresh eVisa.
- The tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Type-T no longer rolls into a cheap renewal. Plan your 30 days, or re-apply.
- Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email — no return flight, hotel, or bank statement required.
What the Type-T is, in plain terms
This guide covers exactly what the Type-T does and does not allow, the 30-day stay versus the 3-month validity window that so many Americans confuse, the single-entry rule, and what changed when the tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025. If you are still deciding between the tourist and business class, our breakdown of the Cambodia tourist visa vs business visa for Americans settles it in a couple of minutes. When you are ready, you can apply and have your eVisa approved in 3 business days.
What the Type-T covers (and what it does not)
- Sightseeing and tourism — Angkor Wat and the Siem Reap temple complex, Phnom Penh, the southern coast around Sihanoukville and Kep, the islands of Koh Rong, and the Mekong towns.
- Visiting family or friends — staying with relatives, attending a wedding, a family event, or a reunion. You do not need an invitation letter for the Type-T.
- Short personal trips — a stopover on a wider Southeast Asia itinerary, a beach week, a backpacking leg, a yoga or wellness retreat that is not paid work.
- Light, unpaid activities — casual volunteering through a registered organization is a gray area, but pure tourism and personal travel are squarely covered.
The line between the two is purpose, not job title. A salaried American on vacation uses the Type-T. The same person flying in for three days of client meetings uses the Type-E. If your trip is genuinely both — a conference followed by a week at the beach — the business class covers you for the whole thing, and our which Cambodia visa do US citizens need decision guide walks you through the edge cases so you only apply once.
The 3-month validity vs the 30-day stay — do not confuse them
Preguntas frecuentes
What is the Cambodia Type-T visa?
The Type-T is the Cambodia Tourist eVisa — the class code the eVisa system prints on a tourist approval. It grants a single-entry stay of 30 days, is valid for 3 months from the issue date, and covers leisure travel: sightseeing, beaches, Angkor Wat, and visiting family or friends. For US citizens it is $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, and delivered as a printable PDF by email.
How long can I stay in Cambodia on a Type-T tourist visa?
30 days from the day you actually enter Cambodia. The clock starts when your passport is stamped at the immigration counter, not when the visa is issued. Note that the 3-month validity is a different thing — that is your window to enter, not the length of your stay.
What is the difference between the validity and the stay on a Type-T?
The validity is 3 months from the issue date and tells you the latest day you can land in Cambodia and have the visa accepted. The stay is 30 days and starts on the day you enter. So if your visa is issued June 1 and you land August 15, you can stay until roughly September 14 — a full 30 days from entry, even though the visa was issued months earlier.
Is the Cambodia Tourist eVisa single or multiple entry?
The Type-T is single entry. It is valid for exactly one crossing into Cambodia. If you leave the country — even with days remaining on your 30-day stay — the visa is spent, and re-entering needs a fresh eVisa. If your itinerary loops out to Vietnam or Laos and back into Cambodia, plan for two separate tourist eVisas or look at the business class.
Can I extend a Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) in 2026?
No. The tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so the Type-T is now a hard 30 days — once your stay is up, you leave Cambodia. The only Cambodia visa that can still be extended from inside the country is the business class (Type-E). If your 2026 trip needs more than 30 days, apply for the business eVisa before you travel.
Do I need a Type-T or the business visa for my trip?
If your trip is leisure — a vacation, Angkor Wat, beaches, visiting people — the Type-T is the right class. If you are flying in to work, attend meetings, a conference, a supplier visit, or an NGO posting, that is the business class (Type-E), which also covers a mixed business-plus-leisure trip and can be extended in-country. Purpose decides the class, not your job title.
