Cambodia Business eVisa FAQ — Type E Visa Explained
The Cambodia business eVisa (Type E) costs $90 all-inclusive and is required for any meeting, conference, or paid work in Cambodia. It is the only category convertible to long-stay visas inside the country.
What is a Cambodia business eVisa?
The Cambodia business eVisa, officially Type E, is a single-entry visa for meetings, conferences, investment activities, and employment. It costs $90 all-inclusive, allows 30 days on arrival, and is extendable into long-stay categories inside Cambodia.
When do I need a Cambodia business eVisa instead of tourist?
Any business activity in Cambodia — even a single meeting, signing a contract, attending a conference, or being paid by a Cambodian entity — requires the business eVisa. Tourist eVisas are strictly for leisure.
How much does a Cambodia business eVisa cost?
$90 all-inclusive through our service — covers the official Cambodian government fee, our expert application review, photo formatting, e-Arrival guidance, and 24/7 support. No hidden fees.
How long can I stay on a Cambodia business eVisa?
30 days on arrival, like the tourist eVisa. The difference is the extension path — Type E extends to 1, 3, 6, or 12 months inside Cambodia, renewable indefinitely. The tourist eVisa extends only once by 30 days.
How long is a Cambodia business eVisa valid?
3 months from the date of issue. Enter Cambodia any time within those 3 months. Once you enter, the 30-day clock starts. Extensions apply only after you enter.
Is the Cambodia business eVisa single or multiple entry?
Single entry. If you leave Cambodia after arriving on Type E, you need a new visa to re-enter. Multiple-entry business visas exist only via the embassy route, not online.
Can my company apply for my Cambodia business eVisa?
Yes. Your employer or HR team can pay for and initiate the application on your behalf — we accept third-party payment. The applicant's personal details (passport, photo) must match the actual traveller.
Do I need an employer letter for a Cambodia business eVisa?
Not for the initial 30-day Type E eVisa application. Employer letters are required for the in-country 6 or 12-month extensions if you plan to live and work in Cambodia.
Can a Cambodia business eVisa be converted to a work permit?
The business eVisa is the visa side; a Cambodia work permit is the labour-side document, issued by the Ministry of Labour. You need both to work legally — your employer arranges the work permit while you hold a Type E.
What is the difference between Type E and Type EB?
Type E is the initial business eVisa for entry. Type EB is the in-country extension class for foreign workers — the one your employer applies for once you arrive. They are part of the same Type-E family.
Are there other Cambodia business visa categories?
Inside the Type E family: EB (business/work), EP (employment), ER (retirement), ES (student), EG (general job search). All start as a Type E entry visa, then extend into the specific subclass at the immigration office.
Can digital nomads use the Cambodia business eVisa?
Yes. Digital nomads doing remote work for foreign clients typically use the Type E business eVisa and extend it inside Cambodia. The 6 or 12-month renewable extensions are the standard nomad route in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Do investors need a special Cambodia business visa?
No special category — investors use the Type E business eVisa. Once in Cambodia, they typically extend into Type EB and work with the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) on investment registration.
Can I bring my family on a Cambodia business eVisa?
Each family member needs their own Cambodia eVisa. Your spouse and children typically apply for tourist eVisas (Type T) if they are not also doing business in Cambodia. Type ED (dependant) extensions are available later in-country.
What documents do I need for a Cambodia business eVisa?
The same as the tourist eVisa: passport bio page scan, recent photo, email address. No employer letter, no invitation letter, no business registration required for the initial 30-day Type E. Just your passport and photo.
