Do I need a return ticket or hotel booking for the Type-T?

No. The Cambodia Tourist eVisa application does not ask for a return flight, an onward ticket, a hotel booking, a bank statement, an itinerary, or travel insurance. You need a US passport valid 6+ months, a photo, a passport scan, an email address, and a payment method. The arrival details are collected separately on the e-Arrival Card in the week before you fly.

How fast can a US citizen get a Type-T tourist eVisa?

The Cambodia Tourist eVisa is approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email. There is no embassy visit and no interview anywhere in the United States. Because the 3-month validity counts from the issue date, apply once your dates are firm rather than months ahead — a few weeks out is plenty.

Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) for US Citizens: What It Covers

The Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) is the eVisa nearly every American traveler uses: a 30-day single-entry stay, valid 3 months from issue, $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days. Here is exactly what it covers — and what it does not.

What does the Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) cover for US citizens?

The Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) is the standard tourist eVisa for US citizens. It grants a single-entry stay of 30 days, is valid for 3 months from the issue date, and covers leisure travel — sightseeing at Angkor Wat, beach time in Sihanoukville, and visiting family or friends. It is $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, and delivered as a printable PDF by email. It does not cover paid work or long-term residence, and the tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Type-T no longer rolls into a low-cost renewal — once your 30 days are up, you leave or re-apply.

핵심 요약

The Type-T is the standard Cambodia Tourist eVisa: a 30-day stay, single entry, for vacations, Angkor Wat, beaches, and visiting family or friends.
It is valid for 3 months from the issue date — that is your window to enter, not the length of your stay, which is 30 days once you land.
Single entry means one trip in: leave Cambodia and your Type-T is spent, even if days remain. A second visit needs a fresh eVisa.
The tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Type-T no longer rolls into a cheap renewal. Plan your 30 days, or re-apply.

What the Type-T is, in plain terms

This guide covers exactly what the Type-T does and does not allow, the 30-day stay versus the 3-month validity window that so many Americans confuse, the single-entry rule, and what changed when the tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025. If you are still deciding between the tourist and business class, our breakdown of the Cambodia tourist visa vs business visa for Americans settles it in a couple of minutes. When you are ready, you can apply and have your eVisa approved in 3 business days.

What the Type-T covers (and what it does not)

The line between the two is purpose, not job title. A salaried American on vacation uses the Type-T. The same person flying in for three days of client meetings uses the Type-E. If your trip is genuinely both — a conference followed by a week at the beach — the business class covers you for the whole thing, and our which Cambodia visa do US citizens need decision guide walks you through the edge cases so you only apply once.

Single entry: what it means for your trip

A 2026 detail that changes this math for US travelers: all seven Thailand–Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025, so the old overland Bangkok-to-Siem Reap hop is not an option this year regardless of your visa. Plan to fly into Cambodia. Most Americans now arrive through Techo International Airport (KTI) in Phnom Penh, which replaced the old airport in September 2025, or through Siem Reap-Angkor. If you are still mapping the trip, our guide to how long US citizens can stay in Cambodia covers the stay limits and re-entry rules in detail.

자주 묻는 질문

What is the Cambodia Type-T visa?

The Type-T is the Cambodia Tourist eVisa — the class code the eVisa system prints on a tourist approval. It grants a single-entry stay of 30 days, is valid for 3 months from the issue date, and covers leisure travel: sightseeing, beaches, Angkor Wat, and visiting family or friends. For US citizens it is $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days, and delivered as a printable PDF by email.

How long can I stay in Cambodia on a Type-T tourist visa?

30 days from the day you actually enter Cambodia. The clock starts when your passport is stamped at the immigration counter, not when the visa is issued. Note that the 3-month validity is a different thing — that is your window to enter, not the length of your stay.

What is the difference between the validity and the stay on a Type-T?

The validity is 3 months from the issue date and tells you the latest day you can land in Cambodia and have the visa accepted. The stay is 30 days and starts on the day you enter. So if your visa is issued June 1 and you land August 15, you can stay until roughly September 14 — a full 30 days from entry, even though the visa was issued months earlier.

Is the Cambodia Tourist eVisa single or multiple entry?

The Type-T is single entry. It is valid for exactly one crossing into Cambodia. If you leave the country — even with days remaining on your 30-day stay — the visa is spent, and re-entering needs a fresh eVisa. If your itinerary loops out to Vietnam or Laos and back into Cambodia, plan for two separate tourist eVisas or look at the business class.

Can I extend a Cambodia Tourist Visa (Type-T) in 2026?

No. The tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so the Type-T is now a hard 30 days — once your stay is up, you leave Cambodia. The only Cambodia visa that can still be extended from inside the country is the business class (Type-E). If your 2026 trip needs more than 30 days, apply for the business eVisa before you travel.

Do I need a Type-T or the business visa for my trip?

If your trip is leisure — a vacation, Angkor Wat, beaches, visiting people — the Type-T is the right class. If you are flying in to work, attend meetings, a conference, a supplier visit, or an NGO posting, that is the business class (Type-E), which also covers a mixed business-plus-leisure trip and can be extended in-country. Purpose decides the class, not your job title.
