How to Get the Cambodia e-Arrival Card: A Step-by-Step Guide
Getting the Cambodia e-Arrival Card takes about ten minutes once you have the right documents in front of you. The catch is timing: it only opens 7 days before you land. Here is the whole process, step by step.
How do I get the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Wait until you are within 7 days of arriving, then complete the Cambodia e-Arrival form online with your passport details, flight, departure date, next destination and accommodation. Submit it, save the QR code it returns, and show that code to Immigration when you land. Each traveller, including children, files their own card.
Principais conclusões
- You get the Cambodia e-Arrival Card by completing one online form in the 7 days before you arrive; it cannot be submitted any earlier.
- Have four things ready first: your passport, your inbound flight details, your departure date and next destination, and the address where you are staying.
- Copy your name and passport number exactly as they appear on the passport’s photo page, and double-check every date before you submit.
- A successful submission returns a QR code. Save it offline, by screenshot, download or print, because Immigration scans it when you land.
- Every traveller needs their own card, including children, and you need it whether or not you also need a visa.
Getting the e-Arrival Card: the short version
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is the online arrival form that every traveller flying into Cambodia has to file before landing. It replaced the paper immigration card, health form and customs declaration in 2024, and it is now a normal part of preparing for a Cambodia trip, in the same way that checking in online for your flight is.
The process itself is not complicated. What catches people out is the timing, because the form only opens in the final week before you travel, and the detail, because every answer has to match your passport exactly. This guide takes you through both, in the order you will actually do things.
What to have ready before you start
Gather these before you open the form. Having everything in front of you is the difference between a ten-minute job and a frustrating half hour of hunting through emails.
- Your passport. The name, passport number, nationality, date of birth and expiry date are all copied from the photo page.
- Your inbound flight details: the flight number and date of the flight that actually lands in Cambodia, not the first leg of your journey.
- Your departure date from Cambodia and your next destination. These are new required fields in 2026, so have your onward or return booking to hand. If you file with us and have not booked onward travel yet, you can say so and we will email you to add the details.
- Where you are staying: the name and city of your hotel, guesthouse or host address.
- A working internet connection and a phone or computer you can save the QR code on.
How to get the Cambodia e-Arrival Card, step by step
When should you apply?
The form opens 7 days before your arrival date and not before. Inside that window, the best time is once your flights have stopped changing. Airlines re-time and re-number flights, and a card that no longer matches your flight is a card you will have to update. Two to four days before you fly is the sweet spot for most travellers: the window is comfortably open, your plans are fixed, and you are filing calmly at home rather than at a departure gate.
Time zones can also play a part. Your arrival date is a date in Cambodia (UTC+7), so if you try to file at the very first moment you think the window is open from the Americas or Europe, the system may still treat you as too early. Filing a few days inside the window avoids the question entirely.
What to do after you submit
Your submission returns a QR code. That code is your e-Arrival Card as far as the airport is concerned, so save it somewhere you can reach without Wi-Fi. A screenshot in your photo library and a printed copy in your passport wallet is the combination that never fails. If you use the official mobile app, the QR code stays available in the app even when you are offline.
