Which Cambodia Entry Points Accept Your eVisa? 2026 Airport and Border Guide for Americans
Your Cambodia eVisa works at three international airports and a short list of land and sea crossings in 2026 — but not at every border you might assume. Here is exactly where it is accepted, what changed this year, and the closures that catch Americans out.
Which Cambodia entry points accept the eVisa for US citizens?
Your Cambodia eVisa is accepted at three international airports — Techo International near Phnom Penh (KTI), Siem Reap-Angkor International (SAI), and Sihanouk International (KOS) — plus the designated land crossings with Vietnam and Laos and the main river and sea ports. It is NOT usable at any Thailand land border, because all seven Thai crossings have been closed since June 2025. For almost every American, the simplest answer is to fly: book into KTI, SAI, or KOS, carry your printed eVisa PDF, and file your e-Arrival Card in the week before departure. The eVisa itself is a single-entry document valid for three months from issue, good for a 30-day stay.
نکات کلیدی
- Your Cambodia eVisa is accepted at three international airports: Techo International near Phnom Penh (KTI), Siem Reap-Angkor (SAI), and Sihanouk International (KOS).
- KTI (Techo International) replaced the old Phnom Penh airport on September 9, 2025 — if your booking still says PNH, your flight has already moved to the new field.
- All seven Thailand-Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025, so an eVisa cannot be used to cross from Thailand by land in 2026.
- The eVisa is also valid at the main Vietnam and Laos land crossings and at the major river and sea ports — but always confirm your specific crossing before you build a route around it.
- The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is a separate, mandatory step for every air arrival — 14 fields, $5 USD verified through us, submitted within 7 days before you fly.
Why your point of entry matters more in 2026
The three international airports that accept your eVisa
Techo International Airport (KTI) — Phnom Penh
Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI)
Sihanouk International Airport (KOS)
Land and sea crossings — where the eVisa works overland
- Vietnam land borders: the major crossings used by Mekong-route travelers — including the Bavet crossing on the Ho Chi Minh City road and the Kaam Samnor river crossing on the Mekong fast-boat route — accept the eVisa. This is the classic Saigon-to-Phnom Penh overland or river leg, and it works on an eVisa in 2026.
- Laos land border: the Trapeang Kriel crossing in the north, the standard route down from southern Laos and the 4,000 Islands, accepts the eVisa.
- River and sea ports: the main Mekong river ports and the coastal sea ports are on the eVisa-eligible list, which matters if you are arriving by cruise or river boat rather than by air.

سوالات متداول
Which airports in Cambodia accept the eVisa for US citizens?
Three international airports: Techo International near Phnom Penh (KTI), Siem Reap-Angkor International (SAI), and Sihanouk International (KOS). All three accept the eVisa on arrival for American passport holders. KTI replaced the old Phnom Penh airport (PNH) on September 9, 2025, so if your booking still shows PNH, your flight has already moved to the new field.
Can I use my Cambodia eVisa to cross the land border from Thailand?
No. All seven Thailand-Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025, so you cannot cross overland from Thailand on any visa right now — including the Poipet crossing on the Bangkok-to-Siem Reap road. If your trip pairs Thailand and Cambodia, fly the leg: Bangkok to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, or Sihanoukville are all short flights, and your eVisa is accepted the moment you land.
Does my eVisa work at the Vietnam and Laos land borders?
Yes, at the designated crossings. The main Vietnam crossings — including Bavet on the Ho Chi Minh City road and Kaam Samnor on the Mekong river route — are eVisa-eligible, as is the Trapeang Kriel crossing coming down from southern Laos. Smaller regional crossings may not be on the eligible list, so confirm your specific border before you build a route around it.
What is KTI and why is my flight no longer going to PNH?
KTI is Techo International Airport, the new Phnom Penh airport that opened on September 9, 2025 and fully replaced the old Phnom Penh International (PNH). All flights have moved to KTI. Your eVisa does not need to change — it is tied to your passport, not the terminal — but make sure your ground transport is heading to the new field, which sits about 20 kilometers south of the city center.
Do I need anything besides my eVisa to enter at the airport?
Yes — the e-Arrival Card. It is a separate, mandatory form for every air arrival, with 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before you fly. At KTI and SAI it is checked at or beside the immigration desk, and travelers who skipped it get pulled aside to complete it on the spot. Carry a printed copy of your eVisa PDF as well, since that is what officers expect at the desk.
Is the Cambodia eVisa single or multiple entry?
The eVisa is single entry. It is valid for three months from its issue date — that is the window you have to arrive — and it gives you a 30-day stay once you are stamped in. If you leave Cambodia and want to return, you need a new visa. The tourist auto-extension that used to top up your stay at the airport ended in November 2025.
