Visumtypen voor Cambodja voor Amerikaanse burgers: de complete lijst voor 2026
Cambodja kent een lange lijst met visumcategorieën: T, E, C, K, en een handvol diplomatieke codes die de meeste reizigers nooit te zien krijgen. Als Amerikaans staatsburger kun je er slechts twee online aanvragen. Hier is de volledige lijst, uitgelegd, en de twee die er echt toe doen.
What are the Cambodia visa types for US citizens?
Cambodia issues several visa classes, but as a US citizen you apply online for only two of them: Type T, the Tourist eVisa, and Type E, the Business eVisa. The Type T Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in and approved in 3 business days; the Type E Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in, also approved in 3 business days. Both give a 30-day single-entry stay valid for 3 months from issue. The other classes you may see referenced — Type C for spouses and dependents, Type K for returning Khmer nationals, plus the diplomatic and official codes — are real but not traveler-facing, so they never appear as options on an eVisa application. For nearly every American trip, the choice is simply Type T for leisure or Type E for professional travel.
Belangrijkste conclusies
- Cambodia issues many visa classes, but as a US citizen you apply online for exactly two: Type T (Tourist eVisa) and Type E (Business eVisa).
- For Americans the Type T Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in, approved in 3 business days; the Type E Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in, also approved in 3 business days.
- Both online classes give the same headline entry: 30-day stay, single entry, valid 3 months from issue — the split is purpose, not duration.
- Type C, Type K, and the diplomatic and official classes exist on the books but are not traveler-facing — you will never pick them on an eVisa application.
- Type E (Business) is the only class you can extend inside Cambodia; the Type T tourist auto-extension ended in November 2025, so a Tourist eVisa is now a clean 30 days.
Why the list looks longer than it is
This guide walks the complete list so nothing you read elsewhere looks unfamiliar, then zooms in on the two classes Americans actually use. If you have already narrowed your choice down to leisure versus work, the plain-English Cambodia tourist visa vs business visa comparison is the fastest route to a decision. When you are ready, you can apply and the form will surface the right class for your answers.
The two visa types US citizens actually apply for
Type T — the Tourist eVisa
Type E — the Business eVisa
If those two single-letter codes are the part throwing you, the dedicated Type-T vs Type-E explainer for US citizens decodes the labels in full, including why "ordinary" does not mean default. And if you have already framed your trip as leisure or work but want to be sure, the which Cambodia visa do I need decision guide runs the question down to a single answer in a couple of steps.
Type T vs Type E at a glance
The other classes — and why you won't apply for them
- Type C — the courtesy or dependent class, used for spouses and dependent family members of certain visa holders. It is arranged through specific channels, not self-applied online, and it is not how a US tourist or business traveler enters.
- Type K — reserved for people of Khmer origin returning to Cambodia, typically holders of foreign passports with Cambodian heritage seeking long-term residency. If you are a US citizen with no Cambodian ancestry, it does not apply to you.
- Diplomatic (Type A) and Official (Type B) — for accredited diplomats, government officials, and staff traveling on official business. These are arranged government-to-government, never through the public eVisa system.
- The E-class extension sub-types (EB, EG, ER, ES) — these are not entry visas you apply for from the US. They are in-country conversions of a Type E once you are already in Cambodia, handling business, general, retirement, and student long-stay purposes respectively.
That last group is the one worth understanding, because it is where a longer stay actually lives. The EB, EG, ER, and ES tracks all branch off a Type E entry after you arrive — you do not apply for an "ER retirement visa" from home, you enter on Type E and convert in-country. The full
Veelgestelde vragen
How many Cambodia visa types are there for US citizens?
On the books Cambodia runs several visa classes — T, E, C, K, plus diplomatic and official codes — but as a US citizen you apply online for only two: Type T, the Tourist eVisa, and Type E, the Business eVisa. The rest are not traveler-facing and never appear as options on an eVisa application. For Americans, Type T is $80 USD all-in and Type E is $90 USD all-in, both approved in 3 business days.
What is the difference between Type T and Type E?
Type T is the Tourist eVisa and Type E is the Business eVisa. The letters are visa-class codes Cambodian Immigration prints on your document. Type T covers leisure, tourism, and family visits; Type E covers professional travel such as meetings, consulting, and conferences. On arrival both give the same 30-day single entry, valid 3 months from issue — the difference is purpose and that Type E can be extended in-country while Type T cannot.
What are Type C and Type K Cambodia visas?
Type C is the courtesy or dependent class for spouses and dependent family members of certain visa holders, arranged through specific channels rather than self-applied online. Type K is reserved for people of Khmer origin returning to Cambodia, usually foreign-passport holders with Cambodian heritage seeking long-term residency. Neither is something a US tourist or business traveler applies for, and neither appears on the eVisa form.
Which Cambodia visa type do most Americans use?
Type T, the Tourist eVisa, by a wide margin. The vast majority of US travelers go to Cambodia for leisure and stay 30 days or less, which is exactly what Type T covers at $80 USD all-in. Type E is the minority case, for professional travel and longer, extendable stays.
Can I apply for an EB, ER, or ES visa from the US?
No. EB, EG, ER, and ES are not entry visas you apply for from home — they are in-country extension conversions of a Type E once you are already in Cambodia, covering business, general, retirement, and student long-stay purposes. From the US you enter on Type E, then convert through a Cambodian immigration agent after you arrive. The only classes you self-apply for online are Type T and Type E.
Does the visa type change which documents I upload?
No. Whether you choose Type T or Type E, the documents are the same: a US passport, a digital passport-style photo, an email address, and a payment method. The class code only changes the category selected at the top of the application form, not the paperwork behind it.
