How to Apply for a Cambodia eVisa Online: Step-by-Step Guide for Americans
The whole Cambodia eVisa application takes about ten minutes from a laptop or phone. Here is exactly what each screen asks, what to upload, and how to avoid the small mistakes that cost US applicants a day.
How do US citizens apply for a Cambodia eVisa online?
You apply online in about ten minutes. Have five things ready: a US passport valid for at least 6 months, a recent passport-style photo, a clear scan of your passport bio page, an email address you check, and a payment method. Choose Tourist or Business, enter your personal and passport details exactly as they appear on the bio page, upload the photo and the scan, then pay. The Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in and the Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in, both approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email. Print two copies before you fly, and file your separate e-Arrival card within 7 days of arrival.

Veelgestelde vragen
How do US citizens apply for a Cambodia eVisa online?
You apply online in about ten minutes. Choose Tourist or Business, enter your personal and passport details exactly as they appear on your passport bio page, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of the bio page, then pay. The Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in and the Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in, both approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email. You also file a separate e-Arrival card within 7 days before you fly.
How long does the Cambodia eVisa take to process for Americans?
Three business days. Weekends and US holidays sit outside that count, so apply with a few days of buffer before you fly. Your approved eVisa arrives as a printable PDF by email. If Immigration flags anything for a correction, resubmission is free and the clock keeps running once you reply.
What documents do I need to apply for the Cambodia eVisa?
Five things: a US passport valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry with one blank page, a recent passport-style photo (white background, no glasses, no smile), a clear scan of your passport bio page, an email address you check, and a payment method. You do not need a return flight, hotel booking, bank statement, or itinerary to apply.
How much does the Cambodia eVisa cost for US citizens?
The Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in and the Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in. The charge is in US dollars, with nothing added at the airport. The separate e-Arrival card is $5 USD when verified through us. That is the complete cost of getting into Cambodia by air.
Do I need a return flight or hotel booking to apply?
No. The Cambodia eVisa application does not ask for a return flight, an onward ticket, or proof of departure, and it does not require a hotel booking — a hotel name and city is enough for the address field. The eVisa is valid for 3 months from issue, so an estimated arrival date is fine.
Can I apply for the Cambodia eVisa on my phone?
Yes. The whole application works on a phone — you can type the form fields and upload both your photo and passport scan directly from your camera roll. A laptop is a little easier for reviewing the form before you submit, but it is not required. Just make sure your photo is a JPEG under 2 MB and at least 600 pixels.
What happens if my photo or passport scan is rejected?
