How British Travellers Can Apply for the Cambodia e-Arrival Card
Every British traveller flying into Cambodia has to file the Cambodia e-Arrival Card in the week before landing. Here is how UK citizens apply, what to have ready, how the time difference affects the 7-day window, and what to do with the QR code.
How do British travellers apply for the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Within 7 days of landing in Cambodia, complete the e-Arrival form online with your British passport details, the flight that lands in Cambodia, your departure date, next destination and accommodation. Submit it, save the QR code, and show it with your passport at Immigration. You still need a Cambodian visa as well.
Principais conclusões
- British travellers apply for the Cambodia e-Arrival Card online, within the 7 days before they land in Cambodia; the form will not accept it any earlier.
- Have your British passport, the flight that actually lands in Cambodia, your departure date, your next destination and your accommodation to hand before you start.
- The 7 days count back from your arrival date in Cambodia, which is often the day after you leave the UK because of overnight flights and a 6 or 7 hour time difference.
- The e-Arrival Card is not a visa. UK citizens also need a Cambodian visa, so sort the eVisa first, weeks before the e-Arrival window opens.
- Save the QR code offline and show it with your passport at Immigration. Every traveller in your party, children included, needs their own card.
The e-Arrival Card for UK citizens, in brief
If you are flying from the UK to Cambodia, there are two pieces of paperwork to sort out before you go: a visa and the Cambodia e-Arrival Card. The visa is the one most British travellers already know about. The e-Arrival Card is newer. It replaced the paper immigration card, health form and customs declaration that used to be handed out on the plane, and since 2024 it has been filed online before you travel instead.
Applying for it is not difficult, but two things trip people up. The first is timing: the form only opens in the final 7 days before you arrive in Cambodia, and the time difference between the UK and Cambodia can shift that window by a day. The second is detail: every answer has to match your passport and booking exactly. This guide walks British travellers through both.
What British travellers need before starting
Gather these before you open the form. With everything in front of you, each card takes about ten minutes. Without it, you will spend most of that time searching through booking emails.
- Your British passport. Your name, passport number, nationality, date of birth and expiry date are copied from the photo page, exactly as printed, middle names included.
- The flight that lands in Cambodia. If you connect in Doha, Dubai, Singapore or Bangkok, this is the final leg into Cambodia, not your departure from Heathrow, Manchester or Edinburgh.
- Your arrival airport: Techo International (KTI) in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap Angkor International (SAI) or Sihanoukville International (KOS).
- Your departure date from Cambodia and your next destination. If you are flying home, your next destination is the United Kingdom; if you are travelling on to Vietnam or Laos, it is that country.
- Onde você ficará: o nome e a cidade do seu hotel, pensão ou endereço do anfitrião nas suas primeiras noites.
- Uma conexão de internet e um telefone ou laptop onde você possa salvar o código QR.
Como solicitar, passo a passo
Quando solicitar do Reino Unido: a diferença de horário importa
O Camboja está no UTC+7 durante todo o ano. Isso o coloca 7 horas à frente do Reino Unido no inverno (GMT) e 6 horas à frente durante o Horário de Verão Britânico. A maioria das viagens do Reino Unido é noturna, com uma conexão no caminho, então é comum sair de Londres em um dia e pousar em Phnom Penh ou Siem Reap no dia seguinte.
A janela de 7 dias é contada a partir da data de chegada no Camboja, não da data de partida do Reino Unido. Se sair de Heathrow numa sexta-feira à noite e pousar na sábado à tarde horário local, sábado é a data que conta. Na prática, isso raramente causa problemas, desde que você não tente arquivar no primeiro momento em que pensa que a janela abriu. Arquivar dois a quatro dias antes de voar evita a pergunta completamente, e até então seus voos geralmente pararam de mudar.
Perguntas frequentes
Do UK citizens need the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Yes. Every traveller flying into Cambodia files an e-Arrival Card, whether or not they also have a visa, and British travellers are no exception.
When can British travellers apply for the e-Arrival Card?
Within the 7 days before your arrival date in Cambodia. Because most flights from the UK are overnight, that is often the day after you leave, so count from the date you land.
Which flight do I enter if I connect in Doha, Dubai, Singapore or Bangkok?
The flight that lands in Cambodia. Enter the final leg into Phnom Penh, Siem Reap or Sihanoukville, not your departure from the UK.
Is the e-Arrival Card the same as the Cambodia eVisa?
No. The eVisa gives you permission to enter; the e-Arrival Card is an arrival declaration. British travellers need both.
What should I put as my next destination if I am flying home?
The United Kingdom. If you are travelling on to another country after Cambodia, enter that country instead.
How much does it cost to file through you?
Per traveller: $20 Standard (24 hours), $35 Rush (2 hours) or $60 Super Rush (15 minutes), in US dollars. Your statement shows the sterling equivalent.
Do I need a photo to apply through you?
No. We do not need a photo for the e-Arrival Card or for our eVisa service.
