Cambodia Business Visa Extensions for Australians: 2026 In-Country Guide (1, 3, 6, 12 Months)
The Cambodia Business eVisa (E-Class) is the only Cambodia visa Aussies can extend in-country. Extensions of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months run through a Cambodian immigration agent in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap — 7–14 business days, with the 3 and 6-month options the per-month value sweet spots.
Can Australians extend their Cambodia Business visa in-country, and how?
Yes — the Cambodia Business eVisa (E-Class) is the only Cambodia visa Aussies can extend in-country. Extensions of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months are processed through a Cambodian immigration agent in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap (not at the Immigration counter directly), typically take 7–14 business days, and run roughly $50 USD (~$76 AUD) for 1 month up to $300–400 USD (~$457–609 AUD) for 12 months. Start the paperwork at least 2 weeks before your initial 30 days expire. The Tourist eVisa CANNOT be extended in-country since November 2025 — if you will be in Cambodia longer than 30 days, enter on the Business eVisa.

Can Australians extend their Cambodia visa in-country?
Only on the Business eVisa (E-Class). The Cambodia Tourist eVisa (T-Class) cannot be extended in-country — the old auto-extension ended in November 2025, and the Tourist is now a hard 30-day stay. The Business eVisa, by contrast, supports in-country extensions of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, processed through a Cambodian immigration agent in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. If you plan to stay in Cambodia longer than 30 days, the Business eVisa is the only legal route.
Which Cambodia visa can be extended — Tourist or Business?
Business only. The Tourist eVisa is a hard 30-day stay with no extension path since November 2025. The Business eVisa (E-Class) is the only Cambodia visa Aussies can extend in-country, in lengths of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, all renewable. If you arrived in Cambodia on a Tourist eVisa and now want to stay longer, your options are to exit Cambodia and re-enter on a fresh Business eVisa, or to leave on or before day 30.
How much does a Cambodia Business eVisa extension cost?
Agent fees fluctuate, but as a 2026 ballpark: the 1-month extension is roughly $50–80 USD (~$76–122 AUD), the 3-month is $100–150 USD (~$152–228 AUD), the 6-month is $180–240 USD (~$274–365 AUD), and the 12-month is $300–400 USD (~$457–609 AUD). The 3-month and 6-month options deliver the best per-month rate and are the most common Aussie picks. Multi-entry adds roughly $30–50 USD on top of the base fee.
How long do extensions take to process?
Typically 7 to 14 business days from when you hand your passport to the agent to when it is returned with the extension stamp inside. The range is genuine — agent turnaround moves with how busy Immigration is — so start the paperwork at least two weeks before your initial 30 days expire to keep margin in hand. Anyone promising a 24-hour or next-day extension is either misleading you or about to do something irregular with your passport.
Can I extend my Cambodia visa myself or do I need an agent?
An agent. The General Department of Immigration does not process Business eVisa extensions over the counter for individual Australian applicants — every extension routes through a Cambodian immigration agent based in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. That has been the system for years, it is not a workaround, and the agent fee is what you pay for the paperwork to be lodged correctly. We keep a vetted shortlist of agents who handle Aussie cases routinely — email our support desk for the current list.
