Cambodia eVisa for Minors: Documents US Families Need for Kids
Each US minor needs their own Cambodia eVisa, and the document set is the same five items adults upload — built per child. Here is exactly what to gather for a baby, a toddler, and a teenager, and why the consent letter you are worrying about is not on the visa form.
What documents does a US minor need for the Cambodia eVisa?
A US minor needs the same five items an adult does, gathered per child: the child US passport (valid at least 6 months from your date of entry with a clean page), a recent passport-style photo of the child, a clear scan of the child passport bio page, an email address (a parent address is fine), and a payment method. There is no notarized parental consent letter on the eVisa form, no family or group application, and no child discount — each minor applies on their own passport for their own $80 USD Tourist eVisa, approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email.
핵심 요약
- Each minor needs their own document set — child US passport, a passport-style photo of the child, a clear bio-page scan, an email (a parent address is fine), and a payment method.
- The child passport is the long-lead item: minors under 16 hold 5-year US passports needing both parents to consent, so check the expiry on every child, not just the adults.
- The photo follows the same adult specs even for a baby: plain white background, eyes open, neutral expression, no pacifier, no toy, and no parent hand in frame.
- No notarized parental consent letter is required on the eVisa form itself — that document belongs to airline and Immigration situations when a child flies without both parents.
- Each child also needs a separate e-Arrival Card for every air arrival: $5 USD verified through us, 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before you fly, one record per child.
The document set for a US minor, at a glance
A US minor needs exactly the same five-item document set as an adult applicant — the difference is that you build one complete set for each child rather than one for the whole family. There is no family or group application and no shared file, so a baby, a toddler, and a teenager each get their own passport, their own photo, their own bio-page scan, and their own submitted form. If you are still mapping out the whole trip, our overview of the Cambodia visa for US citizens covers the rules that apply to every traveler in your party. The good news for parents: nothing on a child file is harder to gather than an adult one, and most of it you already have on hand.
This guide walks through each document for a minor in the order the form asks for it, the child-passport lead time that catches families out, the baby-photo trick that saves a flagged file, and the consent-letter question every parent asks. When you are ready you can apply for each child, and our guide on whether children need a Cambodia visa at all covers the age rule behind the requirement.
The complete document checklist for each minor
The child US passport
The child passport-style photo
The bio-page scan, an email, and payment
The last three are quick. A clear scan or photo of the child passport bio page — both edges in frame, no glare on the laminate, every line of the machine-readable zone legible. A working email address, which can be a parent Gmail or Outlook account that accepts PDF attachments, since the approval letter is a PDF. And a payment method — Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — which can be the same family card used for every child. If you want the same five-item breakdown written for adult travelers, the documents required for Americans guide covers it field by field.
What is NOT on the form (the consent-letter myth)
The consent letter deserves a clear word, because it is the question we get most from parents. A notarized consent letter from the absent parent can be requested by an airline at check-in, or by an immigration officer, when a child travels without both parents — that is a real and separate situation. It is just not a Cambodia eVisa requirement. If only one parent is flying with the child, prepare a consent letter for the airline and the border anyway, but understand it has nothing to do with what you upload on the visa form. The US State Department travel guidance for Cambodia is the right reference for the airline and border side of traveling with a minor.
자주 묻는 질문
What documents does a US child need for the Cambodia eVisa?
The same five items an adult needs, gathered per child: the child US passport (6+ months validity from your date of entry, one clean page), a recent passport-style photo of the child, a clear scan of the child passport bio page, an email address (a parent inbox is fine), and a payment method. There is no birth certificate, consent letter, or proof of relationship on the eVisa form.
Does a child need a notarized parental consent letter for the Cambodia eVisa?
No. The Cambodia eVisa application does not ask for a notarized parental consent letter. That document belongs to a separate situation — an airline at check-in or an immigration officer may request it when a child travels without both parents — but it is not part of the visa form. If only one parent is flying with the child, prepare a consent letter for the airline and the border anyway, but it has nothing to do with what you upload on the eVisa.
Do I need to upload my child birth certificate?
No. The Cambodia eVisa reads the child identity from their passport, not from a birth record. You do not attach or upload a birth certificate to the application. The only identity document the eVisa needs is the child US passport — the bio-page scan and the name and date of birth taken from it.
캄보디아 아기 비자 사진은 어떻게 찍나요?
Use the adult specs: plain white or off-white background, face fully visible, head centered, eyes open, neutral expression, no pacifier or toy in frame, and no parent hand visible. The easiest method for an infant is to lay the baby on their back on a plain white sheet and shoot straight down from above with daylight from a side window. Take many shots and pick the one with open eyes and a calm expression.
Can my child travel on my passport or share my eVisa?
No to both. The United States has not allowed children to travel internationally on a parent passport for decades, so each child needs their own US passport book. They also cannot be added to a parent eVisa or share an approval — each child needs their own eVisa tied to their own passport number, and is processed individually at Cambodian Immigration.
How long does a child passport take, and how much validity does it need?
Routine US passport processing in 2026 runs several weeks, and a newborn passport can take longer because you often wait on the birth certificate first. The child passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry into Cambodia plus a clean page. Because passports for minors under 16 are valid for only 5 years, they age faster against the 6-month rule, so check every child expiry, not just the adults.
