Both Cambodia and Vietnam now use online eVisas for most tourists. Cambodia is faster to apply for and accepted at every major checkpoint; Vietnam offers 90 days but takes longer to process and is stricter on photo and passport scan quality. Here is the side-by-side.

Yes. They are independent applications with different portals. Apply for the slower Vietnam eVisa first (allow at least a week), then submit the Cambodia eVisa 3–7 days before departure.
Cambodia. Standard processing is 24–72 hours and our express options can return approval same-day. Vietnam typically takes 3–7 business days even on the standard route.
No — they are separate visas issued by different governments. You need a valid Cambodia eVisa (or Visa on Arrival) to enter Cambodia regardless of what other SE Asia visas you hold.
The Bavet–Moc Bai crossing on the main HCMC route is the busiest and accepts both eVisas. Smaller posts can be eVisa-only on one side, so confirm your specific crossing before booking buses.
The headline USD government fee is lower, but once you add the strict photo redo cycle, processing wait time, and any agent fee, the all-in cost gets close. Pick on speed and trip length, not just the sticker price.
Most travellers spend 7–14 days across both countries. A typical loop is Siem Reap → Phnom Penh → HCMC → Hanoi, which fits comfortably inside a 30-day Cambodia eVisa and a 30-day Vietnam eVisa.
