Do British Travellers Need the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Yes. If you are a British traveller flying into Cambodia, you need the Cambodia e-Arrival Card, even if you already have your visa. Here is the short answer in full, who it applies to, and the few situations where it gets less clear-cut.
Do British travellers need the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Yes. Every British traveller flying into Cambodia must file the Cambodia e-Arrival Card online within the 7 days before landing, even with a visa already approved. It replaced the paper immigration, health and customs forms. Each traveller, children included, files their own card and shows its QR code at Immigration.
主なポイント
- Yes: every British traveller flying into Cambodia needs the Cambodia e-Arrival Card.
- It applies even if you already have an eVisa or plan to get a visa on arrival, because the card is not a visa.
- Every traveller needs their own card, so a couple needs two and a family of four needs four.
- You file it online within the 7 days before you land, then show the QR code at Immigration.
- It is built for air arrivals. If you are entering overland or by sea, check the current process for your crossing before you travel.
The short answer: yes
If you are flying from the UK, or from anywhere else on a British passport, into Phnom Penh, Siem Reap or Sihanoukville, you need the Cambodia e-Arrival Card. There is no exemption for British nationals, for travellers who already hold a visa, or for short trips.
The card is Cambodia’s online arrival declaration. Since 2024 it has replaced the paper immigration card, health form and customs declaration that used to be handed out on the plane. You fill it in online in the week before you land, you get a QR code, and Immigration scans that code when you arrive.
Why your visa does not cover it
This is the point that confuses most British travellers. You apply for a Cambodian eVisa, it is approved, and it seems reasonable to assume you are done. You are not. The visa and the e-Arrival Card are separate documents that do separate jobs.
- The visa is your permission to enter Cambodia. UK passport holders need one for any stay.
- The e-Arrival Card is a declaration about this particular arrival: which flight, which airport, where you are staying, when you are leaving and where you are going next, plus health and customs answers.
- The visa can be arranged weeks in advance. The e-Arrival Card can only be submitted in the 7 days before you land.
If you have not sorted the visa yet, start there. Our guide to the Cambodia visa for UK citizens explains the options, and you can apply for the Cambodia eVisa online: Tourist $80 USD or Business $90 USD, approved in 3–5 days.
Who in your party needs one
Everyone. The card is tied to a passport, not to a booking, so the simple rule is to count the passports. A couple needs two cards. A family of four needs four. There is no joint or family card.
That includes children. Cambodia does not publish a separate rule for infants, and we file a card for every traveller in a party, babies included, because each one travels on their own passport.
よくある質問
Do UK citizens need the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Yes. Every British traveller flying into Cambodia files the e-Arrival Card online within the 7 days before landing.
I already have my eVisa. Do I still need it?
Yes. The eVisa is your permission to enter; the e-Arrival Card is a separate arrival declaration. You need both.
Do I need it if I get a visa on arrival?
Yes. Every traveller flying in files an e-Arrival Card, whichever kind of visa they use.
Does my child need their own card?
Yes. Each traveller files their own card under their own passport. We file a card for every traveller in a party, babies included.
When should I file it?
Within the 7 days before your arrival date in Cambodia. Two to four days before you fly is ideal for most British travellers.
Do I need it if I cross into Cambodia by land?
The official system lists only the three international airports. Overland travellers have reported paper forms at the border, so check the current process for your crossing before you travel.
Can I file it at the airport before I fly?
Yes, if you are inside the 7-day window and have an internet connection. Our Super Rush speed delivers the QR code within 15 minutes, but filing a few days ahead is far less stressful.
