Cambodia has a long list of visa classes — T, E, C, K, and a handful of diplomatic codes most travelers never see. As a US citizen, only two of them are yours to apply for online. Here is the full list, decoded, and the two that actually matter.
Cambodia issues several visa classes, but as a US citizen you apply online for only two of them: Type T, the Tourist eVisa, and Type E, the Business eVisa. The Type T Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in and approved in 3 business days; the Type E Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in, also approved in 3 business days. Both give a 30-day single-entry stay valid for 3 months from issue. The other classes you may see referenced — Type C for spouses and dependents, Type K for returning Khmer nationals, plus the diplomatic and official codes — are real but not traveler-facing, so they never appear as options on an eVisa application. For nearly every American trip, the choice is simply Type T for leisure or Type E for professional travel.

Here is how the Bangkok-to-Siem Reap and Bangkok-to-Phnom Penh routes work, the Cambodia eVisa you need before you board, and why the old Poipet overland plan no longer exists.
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.
