Cambodia eVisa vs Cambodia v-Pass — Pre-Trip Visa Approval vs Digital Entry Pass Explained

Don’t confuse the Cambodia eVisa with the new Cambodia v-Pass. The eVisa ({{USD:80}} Tourist / {{USD:90}} Business) is the visa approval you apply for before flying; the v-Pass is the digital entry confirmation emailed to you after Immigration scans your passport and e-Arrival Card at the airport, replacing the old ink passport stamp.

よくある質問

What is the Cambodia v-Pass?

The Cambodia v-Pass (Visitor Pass) is the digital entry pass that Cambodian Immigration sends by email after clearing you at the airport. It replaces the old ink entry stamp in your passport and records your entry date and authorised stay.

Can I apply for the Cambodia v-Pass before my flight?

No. The v-Pass is not a pre-trip application — it is generated automatically when an immigration officer or smart gate scans your passport and Cambodia e-Arrival Card QR code on arrival. Before your flight, you apply for the Cambodia eVisa and the e-Arrival Card.

Why did Cambodian Immigration not stamp my passport at Techo Airport (KTI) or Siem Reap (SAI)?

Cambodia replaced physical ink arrival stamps at its international airports with the emailed v-Pass. Check the email inbox you used on your Cambodia e-Arrival Card, or use your saved e-Arrival QR code to view your v-Pass.

What happens if I typed the wrong email on my e-Arrival Card and did not get my v-Pass?

Keep your Cambodia e-Arrival Card QR code screenshot or printout — it is one of the ways to retrieve your v-Pass record. When we file your e-Arrival Card ($20 USD Standard), we verify your email and send your QR code directly to your inbox.

Do visa-exempt ASEAN travellers also receive a v-Pass?

Yes. Because every air traveller files a Cambodia e-Arrival Card, visa-exempt ASEAN citizens arriving at KTI, SAI or KOS also receive a v-Pass by email showing their 30-day visa-free entry window.

Do I still need one blank page in my passport if Cambodia uses the digital v-Pass?

Yes. Official passport rules and airline check-in desks still require a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond entry with at least one or two blank pages.
