The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Spanish citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Spanish citizens
Spanish passport holders need a Cambodia visa for both tourism and business, and the electronic visa is the only practical option. Cambodia has no embassy or consulate anywhere in Spain, so paper applications would otherwise route through the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Paris. The Cambodia online visa removes that detour entirely. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves the e-Visa in 3 business days, and the QR code PDF is accepted at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports plus the main land borders. Spanish travellers typically fly Qatar Airways from Madrid-Barajas via Doha or Turkish Airlines from Barcelona-El Prat via Istanbul, with the e-Visa already approved before the long-haul leg.
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.
There is no Cambodian embassy in Spain; the online e-Visa is the only practical route for Spanish travellers. Spanish travellers staying past 30 days face a $10/day overstay penalty — extend with the General Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh before the deadline. The e-Arrival form has been mandatory since July 2024 alongside the eVisa — we file it for you free of charge. Spanish travellers usually depart from Madrid or Barcelona; apply at least a week before flying.
Tip for Spanish travellers: Tip for Spanish travellers: combining Cambodia with Vietnam or Thailand is the common pattern from Madrid and Barcelona, so apply 7-10 days before departure to keep the 90-day visa validity covering the full regional loop. Your card statement will show the equivalent in EUR at checkout.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Spanish 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 Spanish 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.
Spanish travellers comparing routes find the e-Visa is the only sensible choice because Cambodia maintains no embassy in Madrid or Barcelona. Visa on arrival is available at $30-36 USD cash but means extra airport friction after a long Qatar Airways or Turkish Airlines flight, and there is a $10 USD per day overstay penalty if you exceed the 30-day Type T stay so pre-clearance helps you plan precisely. The Cambodia online visa at $80 USD all-inclusive is approved before you board at Barajas or El Prat and accepted at every major entry point.
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.

Where Spanish Citizens Can Enter Cambodia with Their eVisa

Airport code SAI
Sihanoukville International
Airport code KOS
Arriving by Land

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Spanish Citizens
Both options exist for Spanish 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.
Spanish travellers love combining Cambodia with Vietnamese or Thai stops, often starting in Siem Reap for Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm, moving through Phnom Penh for the Royal Palace and Tuol Sleng, then crossing into Vietnam via Bavet or back to Bangkok overland. Siem Reap's Old Market and Pub Street, the Tonle Sap floating villages and Sihanoukville's coast all fit comfortably inside the 30-day Type T stay. The 90-day visa validity from issue makes a slow Spain-Cambodia-Vietnam-Thailand circuit straightforward to plan.
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.

Yes — Spanish 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, with no embassy visit required anywhere in Spain.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Spain?
No — Cambodia does not maintain an embassy or consulate in Spain. Spanish applicants who want a paper visa would otherwise route through the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Paris, which is why the online visa is the practical choice for Spanish citizens.
How much is the Cambodia eVisa for Spanish citizens?
The Type T tourist online visa is $80 USD and the Type E business eVisa is $90 USD through our service. The Cambodian government fee alone is $30 USD; the rest covers Ministry submission, error-check and email delivery of the QR code visa.

Standard processing is 3 business days for Spanish applicants under the e-Visa system. Travellers flying from Madrid-Barajas or Barcelona-El Prat with a connection in Doha, Dubai or Bangkok should apply at least one week before departure.
What happens if a Spanish citizen overstays the Cambodia tourist visa?
Overstaying the Type T tourist visa results in a fine of $10 USD per day, paid in cash at Phnom Penh airport on departure. Spanish travellers planning longer trips should extend the visa once inside Cambodia or switch to a Type E business visa.
Is the e-Arrival card mandatory for Spanish nationals?
Yes — since July 2024 every Spanish visitor must submit the Cambodia e-Arrival form within 7 days before arrival. It is enforced at boarding for flights to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap; missing it can delay entry.
Can Spaniards get a Cambodia visa on arrival?
Yes — visa on arrival is available to Spanish passport holders at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports for $30-36 USD cash. The electronic visa is preferred because the price is locked in and there are no airport queues.
How long can Spaniards 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. Spanish travellers wanting more time in Angkor Wat or Phnom Penh can extend once inside Cambodia.

A passport valid 6 months beyond entry, a colour passport-style photo, and a card for the $80 USD payment. No flight booking, hotel reservation or in-person embassy step is required for the electronic visa.
