بودجه سفر به کامبوج برای آمریکاییها: جایگاه ویزا کجاست
ویزای کامبوج شما یکی از کوچکترین و قابل پیشبینیترین اقلام کل بودجه سفر است — 80 دلار آمریکا برای eVisa، 5 دلار آمریکا برای کارت ورود الکترونیکی، هر دو قبل از پرواز ثابت هستند. در اینجا تصویر کامل بودجه برای یک آمریکایی آمده است، با قرار گرفتن ویزا در جایی که واقعاً به آن تعلق دارد.
How much money do you need for a Cambodia trip as an American?
A comfortable mid-range Cambodia trip runs most Americans roughly $70 to $120 USD per day on the ground — accommodation, food, transport, and entrance fees — on top of international flights that typically land between $900 and $1,500 USD round-trip. Your visa is one of the smallest and most predictable lines in that budget: the Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in, the Business eVisa is $90 USD, both approved in 3 business days, and the mandatory e-Arrival Card adds $5 USD verified through us. Cambodia runs largely on US dollars day to day, so most of your spending is already in the currency you think in. Lock in the visa and e-Arrival first — they are fixed, known, and the one part of the trip whose price will not move.
نکات کلیدی
- The visa is a fixed, known line — Tourist eVisa $80 USD all-in, Business eVisa $90 USD, both approved in 3 business days — not a variable you have to estimate.
- The e-Arrival Card is a second small fixed line at $5 USD verified through us, filed within 7 days before you fly, separate from the visa.
- For a typical 10-day trip, the two entry fees together are roughly 3-6% of total spend — flights and accommodation dwarf them.
- Cambodia runs on US dollars day to day, so most of your on-the-ground budget is already in the currency you think in — no conversion guesswork.
- Budget the entry fees first because they are the one part of the trip you can lock in today at a price that will not move.

How small the visa is against the rest of the trip
- International round-trip flights from the US: roughly $900 to $1,500 USD, depending on season, routing, and how far ahead you book. This is almost always the single biggest line.
- Accommodation for 10 nights, mid-range: roughly $300 to $700 USD total, with comfortable rooms widely available in the $40-to-$70 USD a night range.
- Food and drink for 10 days: roughly $150 to $400 USD, eating a mix of local spots and the occasional sit-down restaurant.
- In-country transport, tuk-tuks, and a couple of intercity transfers: roughly $80 to $200 USD.
- Temple and site entrance fees, including the Angkor pass: roughly $60 to $130 USD.
- The eVisa plus e-Arrival Card: a fixed $85 USD total — the only line on this list that does not move.

How much money do I need for a Cambodia trip as an American?
A mid-range trip runs most Americans roughly $70 to $120 USD per day on the ground for accommodation, food, transport, and entrance fees, on top of international flights that typically land between $900 and $1,500 USD round-trip. A budget traveler can do $40 to $55 USD a day; a comfort traveler $150 USD a day and up. Your entry fees are a small fixed addition: $80 USD for the Tourist eVisa plus $5 USD for the e-Arrival Card.
How much of my Cambodia budget is the visa?
Very little. For a typical 10-day trip costing around $1,800 to $2,500 USD all in, the $85 USD of entry fees — the $80 USD Tourist eVisa plus the $5 USD e-Arrival Card — is roughly 3 to 6% of the total. Flights and accommodation are by far the biggest lines, and they are the variable ones. The visa is the smallest line and the only one whose price will not move.
What does the Cambodia eVisa cost for US citizens?
The Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in and the Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in, each approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email. Both are single entry with a 30-day stay and are valid for 3 months from issue. There is no rush surcharge and no airport markup — the price you see is the price you pay, in US dollars.
Do I need to budget for the e-Arrival Card separately?
Yes. The e-Arrival Card is a separate $5 USD line from the eVisa, verified through us, and it is mandatory for every air arrival in 2026. You file it within 7 days before you land, after you have already been approved for your visa. Budget both fixed lines together — $85 USD total for a solo tourist — and there is nothing further to pay for entry at the airport.
Does Cambodia use US dollars?
Largely, yes. Cambodia runs day to day on US dollars — hotels, restaurants, tour operators, and most ATMs all work in dollars, with the Cambodian riel appearing mainly as small change. For an American, that removes most currency guesswork: your budget in dollars is your spend in dollars, and your entry fees are billed in dollars too. The main thing to watch is your own card issuer’s foreign-transaction fee.
What is a realistic daily budget for Cambodia?
Budget travelers run $40 to $55 USD a day on guesthouses, street food, and shared transport. Mid-range travelers sit around $70 to $120 USD a day with private rooms, a mix of meals, and full site access. Comfort travelers climb to $150 USD a day and up with boutique hotels, guided tours, and domestic flights. The two dials that move the number most are accommodation and food.
