الزامات گذرنامه کامبوج برای آمریکاییها: اعتبار و صفحات خالی توضیح داده شده
دو عدد تعیین میکند که آیا گذرنامه آمریکایی شما برای کامبوج آماده است: شش ماه اعتبار از تاریخ ورود، و یک صفحه خالی کامل. اگر هر کدام را اشتباه داشته باشید، هواپیمایی شما را در ایالات متحده متوقف میکند، قبل از اینکه هرگز به پنوم پن برسید.
What are the passport requirements for US citizens entering Cambodia?
Your US passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Cambodia and must have at least one full blank page for the entry stamp. Validity is counted from the day you arrive, not the day you apply for the eVisa, and the 6-month rule is enforced by the airline at your US departure gate. The eVisa is tied to the exact passport number on your application, so if your passport is expiring soon or short on pages, renew it first and then apply on the new book. Damaged passports and recently changed names are the two edge cases that catch Americans out most often.
نکات کلیدی
- Your US passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Cambodia — counted from arrival, not from the day you apply.
- You need at least one full blank passport page for the Cambodian entry stamp; frequent travelers should count their clean pages before applying.
- The 6-month rule is enforced by the airline at your US departure gate, so a short-dated passport stops you at LAX, SFO, or JFK — not in Cambodia.
- Your eVisa is tied to the exact passport number you apply with; renew first if your passport is close to the line, then apply on the new book.
- Standard US passport renewal runs about 4 to 6 weeks in 2026, with expedited service roughly 2 to 3 weeks — plan the renewal before the eVisa.
The two passport rules that actually decide your trip
The 6-month validity rule, counted correctly
Blank pages — how many you actually need
Frequent flyer? Count your clean pages now
If your passport is busy with Schengen, Japanese, and Thai stamps, count the genuinely clean pages before you apply for your eVisa. Fewer than one full blank page means a renewal, not a quick fix at the airport — there is no add-pages service for US passports anymore. The State Department ended visa-page inserts back in 2016, so a full book means a brand-new passport.

سوالات متداول
How long must my US passport be valid to enter Cambodia?
At least 6 months from your date of entry into Cambodia. Count it forward from your arrival date, not from the day you apply for the eVisa. If you arrive on March 1, your passport must be valid through at least September 1. An expiry that lands inside that six-month window is treated as expired for this trip, and the airline will stop you at your US departure gate.
How many blank passport pages do I need for Cambodia?
At least one full blank page for the entry stamp. Cambodian Immigration stamps a clean page, so a page already half-used by another country counts as used. Flip through your visa pages before you apply and confirm you have at least one genuinely clean page. If your book is full, you need a passport renewal — the State Department no longer adds visa-page inserts to US passports.
Is the 6-month rule checked in Cambodia or in the United States?
It is enforced by your airline at the US departure gate, because the carrier is liable if Cambodia refuses you on arrival. That means a short-dated passport stops you at LAX, SFO, or JFK — not at Phnom Penh. There is no discretion in the gate system, so do not count on a sympathetic agent if your passport is close to the line.
Can I enter Cambodia with a damaged US passport?
Normal wear is fine, but significant damage — water damage, a detached cover, a delaminated photo page, or a scuffed machine-readable zone — can get you refused by either your airline or Cambodian Immigration, even if the dates and pages check out. A damaged passport is treated as invalid, not as a lesser form of valid. If yours is in poor shape, renew before you apply for the eVisa.
My name changed after marriage — which name do I use on the eVisa?
Use the exact name on your current passport. If your passport still shows your maiden name, apply in your maiden name. If you have already updated your passport, apply in your new name and travel on the new book. The eVisa is matched against your passport, not your driver license, so the two names must agree character for character.
Should I renew my passport before or after applying for the eVisa?
Before. Your eVisa attaches to the exact passport number you submit, and a renewed passport carries a new number. If you renew after applying, the eVisa is tied to a book you no longer hold, and that mismatch can stop you at the gate. Renew first, receive the new passport, then apply on the new details.
