Nepali passport holders apply for the Cambodia eVisa fully online from Kathmandu â the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves the online visa in 3 business days, perfect for the Lumbini-Angkor Buddhist pilgrimage circuit.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Nepali citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Nepali citizens
Yes â Nepali citizens need a visa for Cambodia. Every Nepali passport holder must obtain either a Type T tourist eVisa or a Type E business electronic visa before flying, and the Cambodia online visa is the standard route in 2026. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves the e-Visa in 3 business days, with no Kathmandu consulate appointment required. The Lumbini-to-Angkor Buddhist pilgrimage angle makes Cambodia a natural extension for Nepali religious tourism â the Buddha's birthplace at Lumbini paired with the largest religious monument on Earth at Angkor.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 â 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.
Tip for Nepali travellers: Book Kathmandu-Bangkok on Thai Airways or Singapore Airlines once your e-Visa PDF arrives â connections from KTM through BKK or SIN to Phnom Penh are smooth, and the Lumbini-Angkor pilgrimage axis is one of the most meaningful Buddhist routes in Asia.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Nepali 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 Nepali 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 â 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 â no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing â government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Nepali leisure travellers on the Lumbini-Angkor Buddhist pilgrimage should choose the Type T tourist e-Visa at $80 USD for trips up to 30 days. Nepali professionals heading to Phnom Penh for ASEAN business, NGO work or trade should choose the Type E business visa at $90 USD because Type E supports indefinite extensions inside Cambodia, useful for development-sector postings.
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.

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Nepali Citizens
Both options exist for Nepali travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters â price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Nepali travellers typically anchor a Cambodia trip around 3-4 days in Siem Reap for Angkor Wat sunrise tours, the Bayon, Ta Prohm and a Tonle Sap floating-village day trip, often framed as the southern complement to the Lumbini pilgrimage. Add 2-3 nights in Phnom Penh for the Royal Palace, Wat Phnom and Tuol Sleng before optionally extending to Kep or Koh Rong inside the 30-day Type T allowance.

Practical advice from travellers who've been â 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 â small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains â 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 ($2â3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers â both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only â 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 â 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.

The visa also covers visits to Phnom Penh's Silver Pagoda and Buddhist sites along the Mekong.

What documents do Nepali citizens need for the Cambodia eVisa?
You need a Nepali passport valid for 6 months beyond entry with one blank page, a colour passport-style photo (4Ă6 cm, white background), and a card to pay the $80 USD tourist fee. No flight ticket, hotel booking or embassy interview is required.
