If you are planning a multi-country Southeast Asia itinerary or travelling on a Philippine passport, here is how the visa and arrival rules compare in 2026.

Domande frequenti

Is the Cambodia e-Arrival Card the same as the Philippines eTravel QR code?

They serve the same purpose — replacing paper immigration, health and customs forms with a digital QR code — but they are operated by different governments. You must file the Cambodia e-Arrival Card specifically for flights landing at KTI, SAI or KOS.

Do Filipino citizens need a Cambodia eVisa or just the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?

Filipino passport holders are visa-exempt for Cambodia for stays up to 30 days under the ASEAN agreement, so they do not need a tourist eVisa. However, every Filipino air traveller must complete the Cambodia e-Arrival Card within 7 days of landing.

Do Western tourists visiting both the Philippines and Cambodia need a visa?

Most Australian, UK, US, Canadian and EU citizens enter the Philippines visa-free for 30 days, but they DO need a Cambodia eVisa ($80 USD Tourist or $90 USD Business) plus the Cambodia e-Arrival Card to enter Cambodia.

What if I have not booked my onward flight out of Cambodia yet?

The 2026 Cambodia e-Arrival Card asks for your departure date and next destination. If you file with us and have not booked onward travel yet, our form lets you select "not booked yet" and we email you to add those details later.

Which airport in Phnom Penh do flights from Manila or Singapore land at in 2026?

All flights to Phnom Penh now land at Techo International Airport (KTI), which replaced the old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) on 9 September 2025.

How fast can I get my Cambodia e-Arrival Card if my flight is tomorrow?

We offer three filing speeds per traveller: Standard ($20 USD, within 24 hours), Rush ($35 USD, within 2 hours), and Super Rush ($60 USD, within 15 minutes), all including free resubmission if a correction is needed.
