ویزای کامبوج برای نومادهای دیجیتال و کارگران دورکار (شهروندان آمریکایی)
کامبوج ویزای اختصاصی «نوماد دیجیتال» ندارد — و برای اکثر کارگران دورکار آمریکایی، این خبر خوبی است. تصمیم ساده است: اقامت کمتر از ۳۰ روز برای تفریح با ویزای الکترونیکی توریستی انجام میشود، اما هر کار پولی یا اقامت بیش از ۳۰ روز به معنای ویزای الکترونیکی تجاری (نوع-E) است — $90 USD همهچیز تمام، ۳ روز کاری، و تنها ویزای کامبوج که میتوانید در داخل کشور تمدید کنید.
Which Cambodia visa do US digital nomads and remote workers need?
Cambodia has no dedicated digital nomad visa, so US remote workers use one of two routes. If your stay is under 30 days and genuinely leisure, the Tourist eVisa ($80 USD all-in) is enough. But the moment you do paid or remote work, or plan to stay longer than 30 days, you need the Business eVisa (Type-E, the ordinary E-class) — $90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email. The Business eVisa is the only Cambodia visa you can extend in-country (1, 3, 6, or 12 months through a Cambodian immigration agent), which is exactly why long-stay nomads choose it. There is no sponsor letter, employment contract, or income proof required to apply.
نکات کلیدی
- Cambodia has no standalone "digital nomad visa." The working visa for US remote workers is the Business eVisa (Type-E), the ordinary E-class — and it is broader and easier to get than most nomads expect.
- The decision is duration plus activity: a sub-30-day leisure trip can run on the Tourist eVisa, but any paid or remote work, or any stay over 30 days, points to the Business eVisa.
- The Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, delivered as a printable PDF by email — the same online flow as the Tourist eVisa, with no sponsor letter, employment contract, or company invitation required.
- It is the only Cambodia visa that can be extended in-country: 1, 3, 6, or 12-month extensions arranged through a Cambodian immigration agent after you arrive. The 6-month extension is the most common pick among American nomads.
- The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is still separate and mandatory: 14 fields, $5 USD verified through us, submitted within 7 days before you fly — every air arrival files it, Business eVisa or Tourist.
Why Cambodia works for American remote workers in 2026
The one decision: duration and activity
The Business eVisa is the de facto nomad visa
- US passport — at least 6 months validity from your planned date of arrival in Cambodia, with at least one full blank page for the entry stamp.
- Digital passport-style photo — plain white background, taken in the last 6 months, no glasses, no hats, no smile, neutral expression. JPEG, under 2 MB.
- Clear scan or phone photo of your passport bio page — both edges visible, no glare on the laminate, all text legible.
- Working email address — the approval PDF lands here, so use an inbox that accepts PDF attachments.
- Payment method — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

سوالات متداول
Does Cambodia have a digital nomad visa for US citizens?
No. Cambodia does not issue a dedicated digital nomad visa, a remote-work permit, or a freelancer category with an income threshold. US remote workers use one of two existing routes: the Tourist eVisa for a sub-30-day leisure trip with no work, or the Business eVisa (Type-E) for any paid or remote work and any stay over 30 days. In practice the Business eVisa functions as the nomad visa — it is the only one you can extend in-country.
Can I work remotely in Cambodia on a Tourist eVisa?
Strictly, no. The Tourist eVisa (Type-T) is for leisure — sightseeing, family visits, beach trips. Remote work, even for a US employer paid into a US bank account, is read as a business activity by Cambodian Immigration and belongs on the Business eVisa (Type-E). The price step is small, $80 USD to $90 USD, but the Business class is the correct one for any working stay and removes the gray area if Immigration asks about your trip.
How long can a US digital nomad stay in Cambodia?
The Business eVisa gives an initial 30-day stay, identical to the Tourist eVisa. The difference is the extension. Once you are in Cambodia, the Business eVisa can be extended through a Cambodian immigration agent for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, and the extensions are renewable — so a nomad can run a full year or longer on the same original Business eVisa. The Tourist eVisa is a hard 30 days with no extension, since the old auto-extension ended in November 2025.
Do I need proof of income or a bank statement for the Cambodia Business eVisa?
No. Unlike most dedicated nomad visas elsewhere in the region, the Cambodia Business eVisa requires no proof of income, no minimum bank balance, no employment contract, no sponsor letter, and no company invitation to apply. The full pack is five items: a US passport with 6+ months validity, a passport-style photo, a scan of your passport bio page, an email address, and a payment method. That is the entire application.
Which extension length is best for a digital nomad?
The 6-month extension is the most common pick among American nomads we process. It covers a full dry-season stay (roughly November through April), lands on one of the best per-month rates, and saves a second trip to the agent. The 3-month extension suits shorter project-based stays, and the 12-month extension — which is multi-entry — is for nomads already committed to Cambodia as a year-long base. The 1-month extension carries the highest per-month rate and is best avoided for stays longer than a few weeks.
