What documents do French citizens need for a Cambodia visa?
A scan of your French passport bio page (6+ months validity), a recent passport-style photo, and an email address. No flight ticket, no hotel booking, no bank statement required when you apply through our service.
Is Cambodia visa-on-arrival available for French citizens?
Yes — Cambodia visa-on-arrival is available to French citizens at major airports. But the eVisa is faster, pre-approved before you fly, and skips the airport queue. Most French citizens now choose the online route.
Can French citizens get the Cambodia eVisa at the airport?
Technically yes via visa-on-arrival, but the eVisa must be obtained online before flying — it cannot be issued at the airport. For confirmed entry before boarding, apply online and arrive with a printed eVisa.
Do French citizens need 6 months passport validity for Cambodia?
Yes. French passports must be valid for 6 months from the planned arrival date in Cambodia — not from today. French airlines enforce this at check-in. Renew before applying if you are close to the threshold.
How long can French citizens stay in Cambodia on an eVisa?
Up to 30 days from arrival. Tourist eVisas (Type T) extend once by 30 days; business eVisas (Type E) extend by 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. French retirees and remote workers typically use Type E for longer stays.
What is the e-Arrival form and do French citizens need it?
Yes. The Cambodia e-Arrival form is mandatory for every traveller — including French citizens on a tourist eVisa, business eVisa, or visa-on-arrival. Submit within 7 days before arrival. We provide free step-by-step e-Arrival guidance.
Which Cambodian airports accept the eVisa for French travellers?
All three Cambodian international airports: Phnom Penh (PNH), Siem Reap Angkor (SAI), and Sihanoukville (KOS). Land borders at Bavet (from Vietnam) and Tropaeng Kreal (from Laos) also accept the eVisa.
Yes. Every traveller, including French infants and minors, needs their own Cambodia eVisa at $80 (tourist). Children cannot travel on a parent's eVisa. Apply for each family member individually.
Should French citizens choose tourist or business eVisa for Cambodia?
Tourist (Type T, $80) for sightseeing, leisure, family visits. Business (Type E, $90) for meetings, conferences, or paid work — even a single meeting requires Type E. Most French travellers choose tourist.
Can French citizens extend a Cambodia visa from inside the country?
Yes. Tourist eVisas extend once by 30 days via a visa agent (~$45-75 USD). Business eVisas extend by 1, 3, 6, or 12 months — the only category convertible to long-stay categories like ER (Retirement) for French expats.
Can French citizens use a Cambodia tourist visa for business?
No. Using a tourist eVisa for any business activity — meetings, contracts, paid work — violates Cambodian immigration law and may result in deportation or future entry bans. Choose business eVisa for any commercial activity.
