Do Children Need a Cambodia Visa? A US Family Travel Guide
Yes — children need a Cambodia visa, every one of them. Babies, toddlers, teenagers: there is no age exemption and no family application. Each US child gets their own eVisa under their own passport. Here is exactly how American parents do it.
Do children need a Cambodia visa if they are US citizens?
Yes. Every child needs their own Cambodia eVisa, no matter how young — newborns, infants, toddlers, and teenagers all count. Cambodia has no minimum age for the visa requirement and no family or group application, so each child applies on their own US passport for their own eVisa. The fee is the same as an adult: $80 USD per person for the Tourist eVisa, approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email. There is no family discount. A family of four means four separate eVisa applications, each tied to one child or adult passport.
Conclusiones clave
- Every child needs their own Cambodia eVisa — newborns, babies, toddlers, and teenagers included. There is no minimum age and no infant exemption.
- Each child needs their own US passport first. There is no shared family passport and no way to add a child to a parent record for international travel.
- There is no family discount: the Tourist eVisa is $80 USD per person, so a family of four is four separate $80 USD applications.
- Children get the same eVisa as adults — valid 3 months from issue, 30-day single-entry stay, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email.
- The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is separate and applies to every air arrival, children included: $5 USD verified through us, 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before you fly.
The short answer for US families
This guide covers the age rule, why there is no exemption for babies, how the per-child passport and eVisa work, what a family of four actually pays, the photo and consent details that trip up parents, and the e-Arrival step that applies to every child on an air arrival. When you are ready you can apply for each family member, and our guide on whether US citizens need a visa for Cambodia covers the adult side of the same trip.
There is no age exemption — not even for newborns
Every child needs their own US passport first
One eVisa per child, and what a family actually pays
You can still process the whole family in one sitting — you complete each application one after another from the same device and pay with the same card, you just submit a separate form for each passport. Everyone is approved on the same 3-business-day timeline and each approval arrives as its own PDF. Our breakdown of Cambodia visa cost for US families works the budgeting through in more detail if you are pricing a larger group.
Photos, documents, and consent for kids
A common worry: there is no notarized parental consent letter required for the Cambodia eVisa application itself. That document belongs to a different situation — a child traveling without both parents may be asked for a consent letter by an airline or at Immigration, which is a separate matter from the visa. The eVisa form does not ask for it. Our guide on the Cambodia eVisa photo for babies and children walks through the headshot in detail, and the documents for US minors guide covers the full per-child file.

Preguntas frecuentes
Do babies and infants need a Cambodia visa?
Yes. There is no minimum age and no infant exemption for the Cambodia eVisa. A newborn or infant traveling with parents needs their own eVisa under their own US passport, at the same $80 USD Tourist fee as an adult. The lap-infant airline fare and the visa requirement are completely separate — a baby who flies free still needs a full-price, full-process eVisa in their own name.
Is there a family or group Cambodia visa application?
No. Cambodia has no family or group application. Each traveler, child or adult, applies on their own passport for their own eVisa and receives their own approval PDF. You can complete several applications in one sitting from the same device and pay with the same card, but they are submitted as separate forms — one per passport.
¿Es más barato el visado para Camboya para los niños?
No. There is no child rate, infant discount, or family bundle. The Tourist eVisa is $80 USD per person regardless of age. A family of four is four separate $80 USD applications, which comes to $320 USD total. Budget the visa as a flat per-person line item for everyone traveling, newborns included.
Can a child travel on a parent passport or be added to a parent eVisa?
No to both. The United States has not allowed children to travel internationally on a parent passport for decades — every child needs their own US passport book. They also cannot be added to a parent eVisa or share an approval; each child needs their own eVisa tied to their own passport number, and is processed individually at Cambodian Immigration.
How do I take a Cambodia visa photo for a baby?
Use the same specs as an adult: plain white or off-white background, face fully visible, head centered, eyes open, neutral expression, no pacifier or toy in frame, and no parent hand visible. The easiest method for an infant is to lay the baby on their back on a plain white sheet and shoot straight down from above with daylight from a side window. Take many shots and pick the one with open eyes and a calm expression.
¿Los niños necesitan su propia tarjeta de llegada electrónica?
Yes. The Cambodia e-Arrival Card applies to every air arrival, children and babies included. A parent fills in one record per child within 7 days before you fly, and each record must match that child eVisa and passport exactly — same name, passport number, and date of birth. A mismatched child record is a common reason families get held up at the arrival kiosk.
