درخواست ویزای الکترونیکی کامبوج: چکلیست مدارک مورد نیاز برای شهروندان آمریکا
پنج مورد. این تمام چکلیست مدارک ویزای الکترونیکی کامبوج برای شهروندان آمریکا در سال ۲۰۲۶ است — و سه مورد از آنها همین الان در دست شما هستند. بدون بلیط پرواز، بدون رزرو هتل، بدون صورتحساب بانکی.
What documents do US citizens need for the Cambodia eVisa?
Five things: a US passport with at least 6 months of validity and one blank page, a recent passport-style photo (white background, no glasses, no smile), a clear scan of your passport bio page, a working email address, and a payment method. That is the whole list. You do NOT need a return flight ticket, hotel booking, bank statement, itinerary, vaccination record, or travel insurance. The Cambodia eVisa is one of the lightest application packs in Southeast Asia for American travelers, and the Tourist eVisa is approved in 3 business days.

Why this list is shorter than you expect in 2026

A recent JPEG against a plain white background, no glasses, no hat, no smile, under 2 MB.
- Scan your passport bio page
Capture a clear, glare-free image with both edges visible and all text legible.
- Have an email and payment ready
Use a working email that accepts PDF attachments and a card or wallet such as Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
- Apply and wait for approval
Submit the Tourist eVisa ($80 all-in) or Business eVisa ($90 all-in); approval arrives by email in 3 business days.
- File the e-Arrival Card
Complete the separate, mandatory 14-field e-Arrival Card ($5) within 7 days before you arrive.

Passport requirements for Americans
Photo specs — the most common correction
What is NOT required (and why this surprises Americans)
- No return flight ticket. Cambodian Immigration does not ask for proof of onward travel at the eVisa stage. You can apply with no flight booked and a tentative arrival date in mind.
- No onward ticket to a third country. Even if your route is Los Angeles → Phnom Penh → onward into Vietnam, you do not need to prove the Vietnam side at the application stage.
- No hotel booking. The form asks for an intended address in Cambodia, but a hotel name and city is enough — no booking reference, no confirmation PDF, no nights-paid evidence.
سوالات متداول
What documents do US citizens need for the Cambodia eVisa?
Five things. A US passport with at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry and one full blank page; a recent passport-style photo (white background, no glasses, no smile); a clear scan of your passport bio page; a working email address that accepts PDF attachments; and a payment method — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. You do NOT need a return flight, hotel booking, bank statement, itinerary, vaccination record, or travel insurance.
How long must my US passport be valid for the Cambodia eVisa?
At least 6 months from your planned date of entry into Cambodia. If your passport expires in October 2026 and you arrive in July, you are fine. If it expires in September and you arrive in July, the airline will deny boarding at your US departure gate. You also need at least one full blank page for the entry stamp. A routine US passport renewal currently runs about 6 to 8 weeks, with expedited service at roughly 2 to 3 weeks, so check your expiry date early.
What are the Cambodia eVisa photo requirements?
A recent (last 6 months) passport-style photo against a plain white or off-white background. Face fully visible, head centered, neutral expression — no smile, no glasses, no hats. JPEG file under 2 MB, ideally 600×600 pixels or larger. The most common auto-flags are smiles, glasses of any kind, off-white walls, shadows behind the head, and resolution below 600 pixels.
Do I need a return flight ticket for the Cambodia eVisa?
No. The Cambodia eVisa application does not ask for a return flight ticket, an onward ticket, or any proof of departure from Cambodia. You can apply before you have booked anything. The form does ask for an intended arrival date, but it does not lock you to that exact day — the eVisa is valid for 3 months from issue.
Do I need a hotel booking to apply?
No. The application asks for an intended address in Cambodia, but a hotel name and city is enough — no booking reference, no confirmation PDF, no nights-paid evidence. If your plans change after you apply, you do not need to update the eVisa. Your accommodation details are also collected separately on the e-Arrival Card filed in the week before you fly, where the system can match a final address.
Can I use a photo taken on my phone for the application?
Yes — and most American applicants do exactly that. Use the rear camera (not the selfie camera), hold the phone in portrait at eye level, stand about 20 inches from a plain white wall, and use daylight from a side window. Neutral expression, no glasses, no hats. Save as JPEG under 2 MB, ideally 600×600 pixels or larger, and convert HEIC to JPEG first if your iPhone defaults to it. Do not apply filters or beautify the image — the auto-flagger rejects heavily smoothed photos.
