Is there a Cambodia retirement visa for Americans over 55, and how do you get it?
Cambodia does not issue a standalone retirement visa that you apply for from the United States. The retirement route is a two-step path: you enter Cambodia on the Business eVisa (Type-E, $90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email), then convert to the ER retirement extension in-country through a Cambodian immigration agent. The ER (Extension of Retirement) is available in 6-month and 12-month lengths, is renewable indefinitely, and is aimed at travelers over 55 who are genuinely retired and not working in Cambodia. There is no separate online retirement-visa application — the Business eVisa is the front door, and the ER extension is what keeps you there.

Cambodia has no standalone retirement visa you apply for from the US. The retirement route is an in-country extension — the ER (Extension of Retirement) — that sits on top of a Business eVisa (Type-E).
The path is two steps: enter Cambodia on the Business eVisa ($90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days), then convert to a 6 or 12-month ER extension through a Cambodian immigration agent once you arrive.
There is no minimum age written into the eVisa system itself, but the ER retirement extension is aimed at travelers over 55 who are genuinely retired and not working in Cambodia.
The ER extension is renewable indefinitely — many Americans run year after year in Kampot, Kep, or Siem Reap on rolling 12-month ER extensions without ever holding a separate residency card.
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is still separate and mandatory on entry: 14 fields, $5 USD verified through us, submitted within 7 days before you fly.
Why there is no "retirement visa" to apply for in 2026
What the ER extension actually is
The two-step path: Business eVisa, then ER conversion
Does Cambodia have a retirement visa for Americans over 55?
Not as a standalone visa you apply for from the United States. The Cambodia retirement route is the ER extension — Extension of Retirement — which sits on top of a Business eVisa (Type-E). You enter Cambodia on the Business eVisa ($90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days), then convert it to a 6 or 12-month ER extension in-country through a Cambodian immigration agent. The ER is aimed at travelers over 55 who are genuinely retired and not working in Cambodia, and it is renewable indefinitely.
How do I get the ER retirement extension in Cambodia?
Two steps. First, apply for the Business eVisa (Type-E) online before you fly — $90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email. Enter Cambodia on that visa with the standard 30-day stay. Second, before day 30, hand your passport to a Cambodian immigration agent who lodges the ER extension paperwork; your passport comes back stamped with a 6 or 12-month ER extension a week or two later. You cannot apply for the ER from the US — it is an in-country conversion of a visa you already hold.
Can I apply for the Cambodia retirement visa before I arrive?
No. There is no online retirement-visa application and no way to lodge the ER extension from outside Cambodia, because the ER is an extension of a visa you already hold rather than an entry visa. The part you do before you fly is the Business eVisa application. The ER conversion always happens in-country, after you arrive, through a Cambodian immigration agent. Plan to enter on the Business eVisa, then convert.
Why do I need the Business eVisa instead of the Tourist eVisa to retire?
Because the Tourist eVisa (Type-T) cannot be extended and cannot be converted to ER. The old Tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025. The Business eVisa (Type-E) is the only Cambodia visa that can be extended in-country, and the ER retirement extension is one of those extensions. If you enter on a Tourist eVisa intending to retire, you would have to leave Cambodia and re-enter on a Business eVisa before you could start the ER conversion — a wasted border run that entering on the Business eVisa avoids.
Is there an age limit or income requirement for the Cambodia ER extension?
The ER extension is aimed at travelers over 55 who are genuinely retired and not working in Cambodia. The online Business eVisa you apply for first does not hard-code a minimum age. Unusually for the region, Cambodia does not require a locked bank deposit, a minimum monthly pension threshold, or a health-insurance certificate to apply for the Business eVisa that the ER sits on — which is a big part of why Americans priced out of Thailand or Malaysia choose Cambodia.

How long does the ER extension last, and can I renew it?
The ER comes in 6-month and 12-month lengths. The 12-month version is multi-entry, so you can fly home to the States or travel the region without losing the extension. Both are renewable, and there is no cap on renewals — many Americans run rolling 12-month ER extensions year after year in Kampot, Kep, or Siem Reap without ever applying for a separate residency card. Renewals are lodged through your immigration agent before the current extension expires.
How much does retiring in Cambodia on the ER extension cost?
The Business eVisa entry visa is the fixed part — $90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days. The ER extension itself is arranged in-country through a Cambodian immigration agent, and agent pricing fluctuates with the local market and extension length, so we do not quote exact figures. As a working guide for 2026, the 12-month ER has a higher headline fee than the 6-month but a lower cost per month of stay, which is why long-term retirees default to it. Budget for the agent fee on top of the $90 USD Business eVisa.
Where do most American retirees live in Cambodia?
Kampot is the riverside favorite, with a strong Western retiree community and an easy run to the coast. Kep is its quieter coastal neighbor. Siem Reap suits retirees who want culture and Angkor nearby with established expat infrastructure. Phnom Penh is the practical choice for the best hospitals, US Embassy access, and direct international flights through Techo International. Your immigration agent for the ER conversion is usually based in one of these towns.
