Canadian travellers apply for the Cambodia eVisa fully online from Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal — there is no Cambodian embassy in Canada to visit, only a single Honorary Consulate in Toronto, so the electronic visa is effectively the only practical route.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Canadian citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Canadian citizens
Yes — Canadian citizens need a visa for Cambodia. Every Canadian passport holder must hold either a Type T tourist eVisa or a Type E business electronic visa before flying, and the Cambodia online visa is the default route because Cambodia maintains only an Honorary Consulate in Toronto — no full embassy or consular section anywhere in Canada. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves the Cambodia electronic travel authorization in 3 business days.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 — both prices are all-inclusive. Upload your passport bio page and a photo, fill in a few details, and your electronic visa lands in your inbox before you fly.
What you don't need:
No embassy visit or appointment
No flight booking required before you apply
No hotel reservation needed
No bank statement or proof of funds
No paperwork beyond your passport and photo
Once approved, your eVisa allows a 30-day single entry stay within 3 months of the issue date. Need longer? Extend at any local immigration office in Cambodia before your 30 days run out.
Canada has only an Honorary Consulate in Toronto — for most Canadian travellers the online e-Visa is the only practical channel. Canadian travellers receive a QR-coded e-Visa by email — print two colour A4 copies; mobile screenshots are not accepted at Cambodian immigration. Canadian passports need at least 2 blank pages for the entry and exit stamps. Canadian snowbirds heading to Cambodia between November and March hit the busiest tourist season — apply 2 weeks ahead.
Tip for Canadian travellers: Apply 1-2 weeks before flying from a Canadian gateway — long-haul connections from Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal via Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore are tiring, and pre-approval means you skip the cash-only visa-on-arrival queue at Phnom Penh after a 20-hour journey.
From application to email
How Canadian Citizens Apply for a Cambodia eVisa
The Cambodia online visa application takes 4 simple steps — form to inbox in 3 business days. Our team handles everything between paying and printing your approved electronic visa.
Fill your application
Enter your Canadian passport details exactly as on the biographical page — accents on French-Canadian names must match the chip data, so use the English version printed on the passport.
01
Pay securely
Upload a recent colour photo on a plain background that meets Canadian passport-photo standards — smartphone selfies and provincial-ID portraits are rejected by the Cambodian e-Visa system.
02
Expert review & submit
Pay the all-inclusive $80 USD tourist or $90 USD business fee — your card statement will show the equivalent in CAD at checkout because Stripe handles FX at the live interbank rate.
03
eVisa delivered to your email
Receive the approved electronic visa by email as a printable PDF with QR code — bring two printed copies because Cambodian immigration at Siem Reap-Angkor International still prefers a physical scan even though they accept digital.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Canadian Travellers Choose?
Pick the Cambodia eVisa type that matches your travel purpose. Choosing wrong can result in entry denial or fines under Cambodian immigration law.
Tourist eVisa
For leisure travel, family visits and short stays.
The Tourist eVisa is the right choice for most Canadian travellers visiting Cambodia. It covers sightseeing in Siem Reap, beach time in the Koh Rong islands, visiting Angkor Wat, and staying with family or friends — anything that isn't paid work or formal business activity.
Best for: tourism, leisure, visiting family or friends, short cultural trips
Allows: hotel stays, sightseeing, beach travel, river cruises
Does NOT allow: paid work, formal business meetings, signing deals
Apply: 100% online in 10 minutes — no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing — government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Canadian snowbirds and leisure travellers almost always choose the Type T tourist eVisa at $80 USD for the November-to-March cool season, while Canadian engineers, NGO staff and education-sector professionals working in Phnom Penh need the Type E business visa at $90 USD because it can be extended indefinitely inside Cambodia.
Important: Using a Tourist visa for business activities (meetings, deals, employment) violates Cambodian immigration law and may result in deportation or future entry bans. When in doubt, choose Business.
Border entry
Where Canadian Citizens Can Enter Cambodia with Their eVisa

Sihanoukville International
Airport code KOS
Arriving by Land
Bavet

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Canadian Citizens
Both options exist for Canadian travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters — price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Canadian snowbirds escaping the November-to-March deep freeze typically settle into Siem Reap or Sihanoukville for 2-3 weeks of warm-weather temple-hopping and beach time. Canadian couples often combine Angkor Wat sunrises with a coastal stretch on Koh Rong and a Phnom Penh culture stopover, comfortably inside the 30-day Type T allowance.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
The world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most iconic site. Most visitors base themselves in Siem Reap for 2–3 days to explore the temple complex at sunrise.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Phnom Penh
Cambodia's capital blends French colonial architecture with vibrant street markets, the Royal Palace, and sobering history at the Killing Fields and S-21 museum.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Koh Rong Islands
Some of Southeast Asia's last undeveloped beaches. Accessible by ferry from Sihanoukville — no internal flights or extra visas needed.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Kampot & Kep
A slow-paced riverside town famous for its pepper farms, French colonial buildings, and the freshwater crab market at Kep — a perfect 2-day escape from the cities.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
Getting around
Tuk-tuks are everywhere — agree the fare first. The PassApp and Grab apps give metered, cashless rides in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Domestic flights link the major cities.

Everything left to know before you apply for your Cambodia tourist visa or Cambodia e-Visa. If your question isn't here, our team replies via WhatsApp or email within minutes.
Do Canadian citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — Canadian passport holders need a Cambodia tourist visa or business visa for any stay. The Cambodia online visa is approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days and delivered as a QR code visa sticker by email.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Canada?
No — Cambodia maintains only an honorary consulate in Toronto, with no full embassy or consular section in Canada. Canadian citizens therefore use the electronic visa instead of an in-person application; there is no need to courier your passport.
How much is a Cambodia visa for Canadians?
Our service charges $80 USD for the Type T tourist eVisa and $90 USD for the Type E business eVisa. The Cambodian government fee alone is $30 USD; we bundle Ministry of Foreign Affairs submission and expert review into the all-inclusive price. Your card statement will show the equivalent in CAD at checkout.
How long does the Cambodia visa take for Canadian passport holders?
Standard processing is 3 business days for Canadian applicants under the electronic travel authorization system. Travellers from Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal often apply 1-2 weeks before flying to give buffer time before connecting flights via Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore.
What passport requirements apply to Canadians?
Canadians need a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond entry and at least 2 blank pages, per travel.gc.ca guidance. Damaged or amended passports can be rejected at Phnom Penh airport, so renew before applying for the e-Visa.
Can Canadians get a Cambodia visa on arrival?
Yes — visa on arrival is available to Canadian passport holders at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports for $30-36 USD. However the e-Visa is preferred because it locks in the price, avoids cash-only queues and is accepted at land borders too.
Is the Cambodia eVisa good for Canadian snowbirds visiting Nov-Mar?
Yes — the Type T tourist e-Visa gives Canadians a 30-day stay during the prime November-to-March cool season. Snowbirds wanting longer in Siem Reap or Sihanoukville should consider the Type E business visa which can be extended indefinitely inside Cambodia.
What documents do Canadians need for the Cambodia eVisa?
Just a 6-month-valid Canadian passport, a colour passport photo and a card for the $80 USD payment. No hotel booking, no flight ticket and no embassy interview is needed for the Cambodia electronic visa.
How will Canadians receive the Cambodia eVisa?
The visa arrives as a PDF with a QR code by email, ready to print. Canadian citizens should print two copies — one for boarding the flight and one for immigration at Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport or Phnom Penh International Airport.
