The Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) is the eVisa nearly every American traveler uses: a 30-day single-entry stay, valid 3 months from issue, $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days. Here is exactly what it covers — and what it does not.
The Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) is the standard tourist eVisa for US citizens. It grants a single-entry stay of 30 days, is valid for 3 months from the issue date, and covers leisure travel — sightseeing at Angkor Wat, beach time in Sihanoukville, and visiting family or friends. It is $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, and delivered as a printable PDF by email. It does not cover paid work or long-term residence, and the tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Type-T no longer rolls into a low-cost renewal — once your 30 days are up, you leave or re-apply.

Three ways to cover the 195 miles between Cambodia’s capital and Angkor Wat: a $15 express bus, a 45-minute flight, or a slow river ferry. Here is what each one actually costs an American traveler, how long it takes, and which one fits your trip.
