Guatemalan travellers — heirs to one of the world's great temple civilisations — apply for the Cambodia eVisa fully online from Guatemala City in minutes, approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days before swapping Tikal pyramids for Angkor Wat spires.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Guatemalan citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Guatemalan citizens
Yes — Guatemalan citizens need a visa to enter Cambodia. Every Guatemalan passport holder must hold either a Type T tourist eVisa or a Type E business electronic visa, and the Cambodia online visa is the only practical route because Cambodia has no embassy in Guatemala. The Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Washington DC handles paper visa traffic from the Central American region, but the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs e-Visa is the standard option for Guatemalan travellers from Guatemala City, Antigua or Quetzaltenango — approved in 3 business days with no embassy visit required.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 — both prices are all-inclusive. Upload your passport bio page and a photo, fill in a few details, and your electronic visa lands in your inbox before you fly.
What you don't need:
No embassy visit or appointment
No flight booking required before you apply
No hotel reservation needed
No bank statement or proof of funds
No paperwork beyond your passport and photo
Once approved, your eVisa allows a 30-day single entry stay within 3 months of the issue date. Need longer? Extend at any local immigration office in Cambodia before your 30 days run out.
Tip for Guatemalan travellers: Apply 10-14 days before your departure from La Aurora International (GUA) — United Airlines via Houston, American via Miami, Delta via Atlanta or Aeroméxico via Mexico City are the dominant routings to Bangkok via Doha or Dubai, and the multi-leg journey leaves little buffer to fix a passport-number typo once your Guatemalan itinerary is already mid-flight in a US hub.
From application to email
How Guatemalan Citizens Apply for a Cambodia eVisa
The Cambodia online visa application takes 4 simple steps — form to inbox in 3 business days. Our team handles everything between paying and printing your approved electronic visa.
Fill your application
Enter your Guatemalan passport details exactly as printed on the biographical page — Spanish accents (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) must match the MRZ Latin transliteration on the chip, so use the unaccented version printed in the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the bio page.
01
Pay securely
Upload a recent colour passport-style photo on a white background; older Guatemalan DPI portraits and selfies cropped from Antigua holiday photos are the top reason Guatemalan applications stall at Ministry of Foreign Affairs review.
02
Expert review & submit
Pay the all-inclusive $80 USD tourist or $90 USD business fee by card — your statement will show the equivalent in GTQ at checkout because Guatemala retains the quetzal, and Stripe handles the USD-GTQ conversion at the live interbank rate; the $30 Cambodian government fee is already baked into our price.
03
eVisa delivered to your email
Approval lands in your inbox in 3 business days as a PDF with QR code — print two copies before leaving Guatemala City, one for the United or Aeroméxico gate agent at GUA and one for the immigration officer at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap-Angkor International.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Guatemalan Travellers Choose?
Pick the Cambodia eVisa type that matches your travel purpose. Choosing wrong can result in entry denial or fines under Cambodian immigration law.
Tourist eVisa
For leisure travel, family visits and short stays.
The Tourist eVisa is the right choice for most Guatemalan travellers visiting Cambodia. It covers sightseeing in Siem Reap, beach time in the Koh Rong islands, visiting Angkor Wat, and staying with family or friends — anything that isn't paid work or formal business activity.
Best for: tourism, leisure, visiting family or friends, short cultural trips
Allows: hotel stays, sightseeing, beach travel, river cruises
Does NOT allow: paid work, formal business meetings, signing deals
Apply: 100% online in 10 minutes — no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing — government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Guatemalan leisure travellers — uniquely placed as heirs to the Maya civilisation visiting heirs to the Khmer civilisation — almost always pick the Type T tourist eVisa at $80 USD for the Tikal-to-Angkor-Wat temple-civilisations pilgrimage, while Guatemalan professionals working on ASEAN coffee-trade, textile-sector projects or development assignments in Phnom Penh choose the Type E business visa at $90 USD because it supports indefinite extensions once inside Cambodia.
Important: Using a Tourist visa for business activities (meetings, deals, employment) violates Cambodian immigration law and may result in deportation or future entry bans. When in doubt, choose Business.

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Guatemalan Citizens
Both options exist for Guatemalan travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters — price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Guatemalans living in the shadow of Tikal, Yaxhá and El Mirador have a uniquely deep frame of reference for Cambodia's Angkor archaeological zone — both are jungle-shrouded capitals of empires that collapsed and were rediscovered, both involve dawn climbs to towering pyramids, both reward visitors who stay long enough to watch the light change across stone. Guatemalan couples typically anchor 4-5 days in Siem Reap for the full Angkor circuit (Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Bayon, Banteay Srei) plus a Beng Mealea jungle-temple day-trip that closely echoes Yaxhá, then connect through Phnom Penh before finishing on Koh Rong inside the 30-day Type T allowance.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
The world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most iconic site. Most visitors base themselves in Siem Reap for 2–3 days to explore the temple complex at sunrise.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Phnom Penh
Cambodia's capital blends French colonial architecture with vibrant street markets, the Royal Palace, and sobering history at the Killing Fields and S-21 museum.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Koh Rong Islands
Some of Southeast Asia's last undeveloped beaches. Accessible by ferry from Sihanoukville — no internal flights or extra visas needed.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Kampot & Kep
A slow-paced riverside town famous for its pepper farms, French colonial buildings, and the freshwater crab market at Kep — a perfect 2-day escape from the cities.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
Getting around
Tuk-tuks are everywhere — agree the fare first. The PassApp and Grab apps give metered, cashless rides in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Domestic flights link the major cities.

Visa Requirements for Other Southeast Asia Countries
Many Guatemalan travellers booking a Cambodia visa for Guatemalan citizens combine their trip with neighbouring countries. Here's what you need to know about visas for nearby Southeast Asia destinations.
Everything left to know before you apply for your Cambodia tourist visa or Cambodia e-Visa. If your question isn't here, our team replies via WhatsApp or email within minutes.
Do Guatemalan citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — Guatemalan passport holders need a Type T tourist visa or Type E business visa for any stay. The Cambodia electronic visa is approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days and is the only practical route from Guatemala City since Cambodia has no embassy in Guatemala.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Guatemala?
No — Cambodia maintains no embassy or consulate in Guatemala. The nearest Cambodian mission for paper visa applications is the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Washington DC, which is why the e-Visa is the standard route for Guatemalan citizens.
Do Guatemalans need a yellow fever vaccination certificate for Cambodia?
No — Guatemala is not on Cambodia's yellow fever transmission risk list, so Guatemalan passport holders do not need to present a vaccination certificate at Phnom Penh airport. This contrasts with travellers from neighbouring Panama who must carry one.
How much is the Cambodia eVisa for Guatemalan citizens?
Our service charges $80 USD for the Type T tourist eVisa and $90 USD for the Type E business eVisa. The Cambodian government fee alone is $30 USD; the remainder covers Ministry submission, error-check and email delivery. USD is widely understood in Guatemala and your card statement will show the equivalent in GTQ at checkout.
How long does the Cambodia visa take for Guatemalan passport holders?
Standard processing is 3 business days for Guatemalan applicants. Travellers flying from La Aurora via Houston, Miami, Atlanta or Madrid to Doha then Bangkok should apply at least 10-14 days before departure for buffer time on the long-haul connection.
How long can Guatemalans stay in Cambodia on the tourist eVisa?
The Type T tourist online visa allows a 30-day stay from the date of entry, with the visa valid 90 days from issue. Guatemalan travellers wanting longer trips around Angkor Wat or Phnom Penh can extend once inside Cambodia through the General Department of Immigration.
What documents do Guatemalan citizens need for the Cambodia online visa?
A Guatemalan passport valid 6 months beyond entry, a colour passport-style photo, and a card for the $80 USD payment. No yellow fever certificate, flight booking, hotel reservation or in-person consular step is required for the Cambodia electronic visa.
Do Guatemalans need the Cambodia e-Arrival form?
Yes — every foreign visitor including Guatemalan passport holders must submit the e-Arrival form within 7 days before arrival. It is in English, separate from the e-Visa, and replaces the old paper arrival card at every Cambodian airport.
