Tipologie di visto per la Cambogia per i cittadini statunitensi: l'elenco completo del 2026

Why the list looks longer than it is

This guide walks the complete list so nothing you read elsewhere looks unfamiliar, then zooms in on the two classes Americans actually use. If you have already narrowed your choice down to leisure versus work, the plain-English Cambodia tourist visa vs business visa comparison is the fastest route to a decision. When you are ready, you can apply and the form will surface the right class for your answers.

The two visa types US citizens actually apply for

Type T — the Tourist eVisa

Type E — the Business eVisa

If those two single-letter codes are the part throwing you, the dedicated Type-T vs Type-E explainer for US citizens decodes the labels in full, including why "ordinary" does not mean default. And if you have already framed your trip as leisure or work but want to be sure, the which Cambodia visa do I need decision guide runs the question down to a single answer in a couple of steps.

Type T vs Type E at a glance

The other classes — and why you won't apply for them

• Type C — the courtesy or dependent class, used for spouses and dependent family members of certain visa holders. It is arranged through specific channels, not self-applied online, and it is not how a US tourist or business traveler enters.
• Type K — reserved for people of Khmer origin returning to Cambodia, typically holders of foreign passports with Cambodian heritage seeking long-term residency. If you are a US citizen with no Cambodian ancestry, it does not apply to you.
• Diplomatic (Type A) and Official (Type B) — for accredited diplomats, government officials, and staff traveling on official business. These are arranged government-to-government, never through the public eVisa system.
• The E-class extension sub-types (EB, EG, ER, ES) — these are not entry visas you apply for from the US. They are in-country conversions of a Type E once you are already in Cambodia, handling business, general, retirement, and student long-stay purposes respectively.

That last group is the one worth understanding, because it is where a longer stay actually lives. The EB, EG, ER, and ES tracks all branch off a Type E entry after you arrive — you do not apply for an "ER retirement visa" from home, you enter on Type E and convert in-country. The full Cambodia ordinary (E-class) visa breakdown maps how the E umbrella splits into those tracks. The takeaway for the application form itself is simpler: from the US, you only ever pick Type T or Type E.

How US travelers should choose from the list

• Choose Type T (Tourist) if you are going for vacation, sightseeing, a beach trip, a stopover, or to visit friends and family — and you will be in Cambodia 30 days or less.
• Choose Type E (Business) if you have meetings, a consulting engagement, a conference, a supplier or factory visit, NGO or development work, or investor due diligence on the agenda.
• Choose Type E if there is any realistic chance your 30 days turns into 60 or 90 — it is the only class you can extend in-country, and you cannot switch classes after you arrive.
• Default to Type T if you are genuinely just a tourist and the trip is short. Most Americans never need Type E, and paying $80 USD instead of $90 USD for the exact same 30-day entry is the right call when extension is not on the table.

A common trap: Americans on a "working vacation" — a remote-work month from a Phnom Penh cafe — often assume they need Type E because they will technically be working. If you are doing your usual remote job for a US employer while traveling and you will be gone inside 30 days, Type T is the practical fit. Type E is for work that involves a Cambodian entity, or for stays that run past the 30-day ceiling. Whichever you land on, the full Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) guide and its Business equivalent walk through each class in detail.

One reminder that has nothing to do with which class you pick: every air arrival in 2026 also has to file a Cambodia e-Arrival Card. It is a separate form from the visa — 14 fields, submitted within the 7 days before you fly — and it is mandatory whether you hold a Type T or a Type E. Americans who line up both the eVisa and the e-Arrival at the start avoid the most common 2026 hold-up at the airport kiosk.
