Cambodia eVisa Form Fields: Field-by-Field Walkthrough for Australian Travellers
Every input on the Cambodia eVisa form, decoded for Australians. Type your surname and given names exactly as your passport spells them, format dates DD/MM/YYYY, pick a plain-English occupation, and book your Cambodia accommodation before you open the form. Ten minutes, $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in.
What do I type in each field of the Cambodia eVisa form?
Every field on the Cambodia eVisa form is straightforward once you know two rules: copy your Australian passport word-for-word for names, and format dates DD/MM/YYYY for dates of birth, issue and expiry. Use plain-English occupation labels — "Software Engineer", "Registered Nurse", "Tradesman" — not corporate jargon. Pick "Tourism" for purpose of visit if you are holidaying. Book accommodation first and have the hotel name and street address ready to paste. Ten minutes of typing, $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in for tourist, approved in 3 business days as a printable PDF by email.
نکات کلیدی
- The Cambodia eVisa form has around fourteen typed fields. The single biggest cause of bounce-backs for Australians is a surname or given-name field that does not match the Australian passport spelling exactly — including double-barrelled names, hyphens, and the second middle name many Aussies leave off in daily life.
- Dates of birth and passport dates use DD/MM/YYYY on the Cambodia eVisa form, the same Australian-style format you grew up with. The portal will reject mid-format US dates like 06/13/1985 quietly, leaving you wondering why the form will not advance.
- Occupation should be plain English, not jargon. Type "Software Engineer", "Registered Nurse" or "Tradesman", not "IT Specialist" or "Healthcare Professional". The visa office reviews the field for plausibility — vague titles get a second look and slow the file down.
- You need a Cambodian accommodation name and address before you open the form. Book your first night in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap before you start the application — refundable Booking.com or Agoda reservations are fine. Leaving it blank or typing "TBC" causes a fail.
- Tourist all-in is $80 USD (~$122 AUD), business is $90 USD (~$137 AUD), approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email. Free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction, and Aussie-timezone support stays on the email thread if anything needs fixing.
Why each form field matters in 2026
Have your passport open before you start
Open your Australian passport to the photo page and lay it flat on the desk beside your laptop or phone. You will be reading from it for ten minutes straight. The whole form is faster, calmer, and dramatically less error-prone with the passport open in front of you rather than fishing it out of your bag mid-field.
Name fields: surname and given names — copy your passport exactly
Surname (family name)
Given names (first and middle)
Match the boarding pass, not the other way round
When you book the flight to Cambodia, book under the full name on your passport — including middle names. If your flight booking is in "Jessica Smith" but your passport reads "Jessica Marie Elizabeth Smith", airlines occasionally flag the discrepancy at check-in. The visa, the flight, and the e-Arrival Card should all match the passport.
Gender, date of birth, nationality and place of birth
Gender (M / F)
Date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY)
Nationality and country of birth
Passport number, issue date, expiry date and issuing authority
Passport number
Date of issue and date of expiry (DD/MM/YYYY)
Issuing authority and place of issue
سوالات متداول
Do I type my name in uppercase or normal case?
Either works on the Cambodia eVisa form — the portal normalises both to uppercase before storing. What matters is that the spelling and the order of given names match your Australian passport letter-for-letter, including apostrophes, hyphens and middle names. Uppercase is the safer default because that is how the passport prints it, but lowercase is accepted and converted automatically.
What date format does the Cambodia eVisa form use?
DD/MM/YYYY — the same Australian-style format you use day to day. So 13 June 1985 is 13/06/1985, not 06/13/1985 in US style. The portal quietly refuses to advance if you mistype the format, which trips up a small number of Australian travellers who default to US-style online. Type slow, day first then month, and double-check against the passport before tabbing out.
My passport has three middle names. Do I really type them all?
Yes. Type every given name on the GIVEN NAMES line of your Australian passport, in the order shown, separated by spaces. The visa, the boarding pass for your Cambodia flight, and the e-Arrival Card should all match the passport given-names field exactly. Dropping a middle name on the eVisa because you "never use it" is one of the most common avoidable mistakes Aussies make.
What occupation should I write if I have a confusing job title?
Pick the plainest English version of your role that a stranger on a train would understand. "Software Engineer" not "Cloud Solutions Architect Level III". "Marketing Manager" not "Growth Operations Lead". "Tradesman" or "Electrician" not "Skilled Tradesperson". The visa office reviewer wants to recognise the job, not be impressed by the title. Plain wording moves through faster than corporate jargon.
Can I leave the accommodation field blank if I have not booked yet?
No — the form requires a real Cambodian hotel, guesthouse, hostel, Airbnb or family-member address. Typing "TBC" or "unsure" causes a fail. Book a free-cancellation first night on Booking.com or Agoda in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap before you open the form. Take ten minutes to book the room, then come back to the eVisa. You can change the actual accommodation later — the field just needs a real address at submission time.
My passport number is eight characters — letter then seven digits. Is that normal?
Yes, that is the standard Australian passport format in 2026. A letter (P, PA, PB and so on) followed by digits, totalling eight characters. Type it in uppercase with no spaces, no hyphens, exactly as shown in the top-right of your passport bio page. Read from the printed field, not from the machine-readable zone at the bottom — the MRZ uses a slightly different format with check digits that should not be typed.
