Can You Still Extend a Cambodia Tourist Visa in 2026? The Post-November-2025 Rules
The free 30-day tourist auto-extension that Americans relied on ended in November 2025. Here is what the rule was, what replaced it, and the realistic ways US citizens stay in Cambodia beyond 30 days in 2026.
Can US citizens still extend a Cambodia tourist visa in 2026?
No — not the way you used to. The tourist eVisa auto-extension that handed Americans a near-automatic extra 30 days ended in November 2025. A Cambodia tourist eVisa now gives you a hard 30-day single-entry stay, and there is no in-country path to extend it for more tourism time. If you need longer than 30 days, the realistic route is the Business (Type E) eVisa, which is the only Cambodia visa class you can extend from inside the country. For a separate later trip, you apply for a brand-new tourist eVisa — each one is a clean 30-day single entry, valid for 3 months from issue.
Conclusiones clave
- The tourist eVisa auto-extension that gave Americans a near-automatic extra 30 days ended in November 2025 — it is gone, not paused.
- A Cambodia tourist eVisa now means a hard 30-day single-entry stay, with the visa itself valid for 3 months from issue.
- There is no in-country path to extend a tourist eVisa for more tourism time in 2026 — the realistic longer-stay route is the Business (Type E) eVisa, which can be extended inside Cambodia.
- For a second short trip, you simply apply for a fresh tourist eVisa before you fly back — each one is a clean 30-day single entry.
- The e-Arrival Card is a separate, mandatory step for every air arrival — $5 USD verified through us, 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before you fly.
What changed in November 2025, and why it matters now
This guide explains exactly what the old rule was, what replaced it, and the realistic ways an American stays in Cambodia beyond 30 days in 2026. If your trip fits inside 30 days you can stop reading and apply — most US travelers finish in a few minutes. Our Cambodia visa for United States citizens hub pulls the cost, documents, and processing timeline into one place.
The old auto-extension rule vs the 2026 reality
Why the auto-extension ended (and what it means for your trip)
Overstaying is the worst way to handle this, and it is entirely avoidable with a little planning. If you are weighing how tight your dates are, our breakdown of how long US citizens can stay in Cambodia walks through the 30-day clock and the validity window in detail, and our note on Cambodia overstay fines for US travelers shows exactly what a miscalculated exit costs per day.
The real way to stay longer: the Business (Type E) eVisa
The mechanics of the in-country extension — the duration blocks, what each one costs, and how the multiple-entry conversion works — sit in two companion guides. Our walkthrough of Cambodia visa extension cost for Americans covers the pricing of each extension block, and the Cambodia Ordinary (E-Class) visa explained for Americans maps the EB, EG, ER, and ES sub-classes you extend into for work, retirement, or study.
Coming back vs staying on: single entry and a fresh eVisa
If the come-and-go pattern is your situation, it is worth understanding the single-entry rule properly before you book flights that cross the border twice. Our guide to single-entry vs multiple-entry Cambodia visas for Americans lays out exactly when a second tourist eVisa beats reaching for the multiple-entry Business track, so you are not paying for re-entry rights you will not use.
Preguntas frecuentes
¿Puedo prorrogar mi visado de turista para Camboya en 2026?
No. The near-automatic tourist auto-extension that gave Americans an extra 30 days ended in November 2025. A Cambodia tourist eVisa now means a fixed 30-day single-entry stay, and there is no in-country path to extend it for more tourism time. If you need longer than 30 days, the route is the Business (Type E) eVisa, which can be extended from inside Cambodia.
When exactly did the Cambodia tourist visa extension end?
November 2025. Before that, tourists routinely added a near-automatic extra 30 days through an in-country extension. From November 2025 onward, the tourist eVisa is a hard 30-day single entry with no tourism extension available, and Cambodia did not replace it with a paid tourist-extension product.
How long can I stay in Cambodia on a tourist eVisa?
30 days from your date of entry, on a single entry. The visa itself is valid for 3 months from issue, but that is the window in which you must enter Cambodia — it is not 3 months of stay. Once you land, the 30-day clock starts, and there is no in-country extension for more tourism days in 2026.
What is the difference between visa validity and stay length?
Validity is how long you have to use the visa: 3 months from the date it is issued. Stay length is how long you can remain once you enter: 30 days for a tourist eVisa. So you can apply months ahead and enter anytime within 3 months, but the day you enter, your 30-day stay clock begins.
How do US citizens stay in Cambodia longer than 30 days?
Apply for the Business (Type E) eVisa instead of the tourist one. It is $90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, and its first entry gives you 30 days like the tourist visa — but it is the only Cambodia visa class you can extend from inside the country, in 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month blocks, with the longer extensions converting it to multiple entry. Choose it before you fly if your trip needs more than a month.
I want to leave Cambodia and come back — can I reuse my tourist eVisa?
No. The tourist eVisa is single entry, so it is spent the moment you exit Cambodia. To re-enter, you apply for a fresh tourist eVisa — each one is a clean 30-day single entry, valid for 3 months from issue, and there is no limit on applying for another for a later trip or a re-entry within the same Southeast Asia loop.
