Come i viaggiatori britannici possono richiedere la Carta e-Arrivo per la Cambogia

How to apply, step by step

If you would rather we did the form-filling and checking, you can start your e-Arrival application with us now and we will file it inside your window.

When to apply from the UK: the time difference matters

Cambodia is on UTC+7 all year. That puts it 7 hours ahead of the UK in winter (GMT) and 6 hours ahead during British Summer Time. Most journeys from the UK are overnight, with a connection on the way, so it is common to leave London on one day and land in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap on the next.

The 7-day window is counted from your arrival date in Cambodia, not your departure date from the UK. If you leave Heathrow on a Friday evening and land on Saturday afternoon local time, Saturday is the date that counts. In practice that rarely causes a problem as long as you do not try to file at the very first moment you think the window has opened. Filing two to four days before you fly avoids the question entirely, and by then your flights have usually stopped changing.

For a fuller explanation of the window, including what happens if you book months ahead, see our guide on when to apply for the Cambodia e-Arrival Card.

Compilarlo da solo o farlo compilare per te

You can complete the card yourself. British travellers who use a filing service usually do so for one of two reasons: the last week before a long-haul trip is busy and the window is easy to miss, or they want someone to check every field against the passport before it reaches Immigration. Small mismatches are the kind of thing you only discover at the desk after a twelve-hour journey.

When you apply for the e-Arrival Card through us, we check each field against your passport before submitting it. If you book more than a week ahead, we hold your details and file the moment your window opens, then email you the QR code. We do not need a photo.

Prices are in US dollars and your card statement will show the sterling equivalent. Every speed includes free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction. Rush and Super Rush are there for travellers who remember the card at the airport; you will need an internet connection to receive the QR code.

Non dimenticate il visto

The e-Arrival Card is not a visa. It records your arrival; it does not give you permission to enter. British passport holders are not visa-exempt for Cambodia, so you need a visa as well. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your entry date and have a blank page.

Our guide to the Cambodia visa for UK citizens covers the options in full. In short, you can apply for the Cambodia eVisa online: Tourist $80 USD or Business $90 USD, approved in 3–5 days and delivered by email, with a 30-day stay on the tourist visa.

Sort the visa first, at least a week before you fly. The e-Arrival Card is the last thing on the list, not the first.

After you apply: the QR code and the airport

Your submission returns a QR code. Save it somewhere you can reach without Wi-Fi, because you will want it at the immigration desk before you have a local SIM. A screenshot on your phone plus a printed copy in your passport wallet is the combination that never fails.

• Keep your passport, your eVisa and the QR code together for the flight.
• If your flight is re-timed or you miss a connection, update the card before you are processed by Immigration.
• At Techo International, UK passports are among those the official e-Arrival system lists as eligible for the automated smart gates.
• Arriving visitors now receive a v-Pass by email in place of the old ink stamp.

For what happens at each of the three airports, see our guide to where the e-Arrival Card is checked.

Spotted a mistake after submitting? You can edit and resubmit as long as Immigration has not yet processed you. Our guide to correcting a mistake on your e-Arrival Card explains how.
