مقایسه هزینه ویزای کامبوج با ویتنام، تایلند و لائوس برای آمریکاییها
ویزای الکترونیکی کامبوج برای آمریکاییها ۸۰ دلار all-in است. ویتنام ۲۵ تا ۵۰ دلار، تایلند برای سفرهای کوتاه بدون ویزا است، و لائوس حدود ۵۰ دلار هزینه دارد. اما قیمت روی کاغذ پنهان میکند که هر کدام از این هزینهها واقعاً چه چیزی ارائه میدهند. در اینجا مقایسه صادقانه آسیای جنوب شرقی برای مسافران آمریکایی در سال ۲۰۲۶ آمده است.
How does the Cambodia visa cost compare to Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos for Americans?
For US citizens in 2026, a Cambodia Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in (Business $90), approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF, with a separate $5 e-Arrival Card for every air arrival. Vietnam is cheaper on paper — around $25 for a single-entry eVisa and $50 for multiple-entry. Thailand is free for short tourist visits with no advance visa needed. Laos sits close to Cambodia at roughly $50 online or $35–40 on arrival. So Cambodia is the most expensive single-entry eVisa of the four, but the gap is small once you factor in what each price actually includes: a fixed all-in figure, free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction, and US-timezone support. None of these fees is large enough to decide a trip; they are line items, not deal-breakers.
نکات کلیدی
- A Cambodia Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in for Americans (Business $90), approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email — plus the separate $5 e-Arrival Card for every air arrival.
- Vietnam charges Americans roughly $25 for a single-entry eVisa and $50 for multiple-entry; Thailand is visa-free for short tourist stays; Laos runs about $50 online or $35–40 on arrival.
- Sticker price alone is misleading: a $25 Vietnam eVisa with a clunky upload and a slow refund process can cost you more in stress than a fixed, all-in Cambodia price with free resubmission.
- Thailand looks free, but its land borders with Cambodia have been closed since June 2025, so the overland Bangkok-to-Siem Reap hop no longer works — both countries are now fly-in only between each other.
- For a multi-country Indochina loop, budget every visa as its own line item: a Vietnam + Cambodia + Laos trip is roughly $25–50 + $80 + $50 in visa fees alone, before the $5 Cambodia e-Arrival Card.

سوالات متداول
Is the Cambodia visa more expensive than Vietnam and Laos for Americans?
Yes, on sticker price. A Cambodia Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in, against roughly $25 for a single-entry Vietnam eVisa and about $50 for Laos online ($35–40 on arrival). Thailand is free for a short tourist stay. But Cambodia’s $80 is fully all-in with free resubmission and a 3-business-day printable PDF, so the value gap is much smaller than the price gap suggests.
How much does a Cambodia visa cost compared to Thailand?
Thailand is free to enter for a short tourist visit, while a Cambodia Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in for Americans. But the comparison is mostly academic for a Cambodia trip: the Thailand–Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025, so you can no longer use Thailand’s free entry as an overland route into Cambodia. If Cambodia is on your itinerary, you are flying in and paying the $80 regardless.
Why is the Cambodia eVisa pricier than the Vietnam eVisa?
Vietnam’s single-entry eVisa runs about $25 against Cambodia’s $80, but the prices buy different things. Cambodia’s figure is all-in with nothing added at checkout, includes free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction, and comes with US-timezone support and a 3-business-day printable PDF. Vietnam’s cheaper price typically does not include a free retry, so a rejected application can mean paying again.
What is the total visa cost for a Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos trip?
Roughly $145 to $185 in visa fees for one US traveler: about $25–50 for Vietnam (single vs multiple entry), $80 for the Cambodia Tourist eVisa plus the separate $5 e-Arrival Card, and about $35–50 for Laos. That excludes flights and is a small share of a multi-week Indochina budget — visa fees rarely move the needle on a trip this size.
Can I still cross from Thailand into Cambodia by land to save money?
No. All seven Thailand–Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025, so the old budget move of flying into Bangkok and busing overland into Cambodia no longer works. You now fly between the two countries, and you still need your Cambodia eVisa approved before you board — boarding can be denied without it.
Does the Cambodia visa price include the e-Arrival Card like neighbors?
No — the Cambodia e-Arrival Card is a separate $5 USD step from the visa, with its own 14-field form and a 7-day pre-arrival deadline, required for every air arrival. The $80 Tourist or $90 Business price is for the visa only. Budget the e-Arrival Card as an additional $5 per traveler on each leg you fly into Cambodia.
