The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Tanzanian citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Tanzanian citizens
Yes, Tanzanian passport holders need a Cambodia visa, and the electronic visa is the standard route from Dar es Salaam DAR, Kilimanjaro JRO, Dodoma or Zanzibar. Cambodia keeps no diplomatic post anywhere in Tanzania, so the Cambodia online visa removes the only alternative, which would be couriering passports to Bangkok or Paris. Most Tanzanian travellers heading to Asia connect through Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines, Nairobi on Kenya Airways or Dubai on Emirates onward to Bangkok, and the eVisa is locked in before the JRO or DAR check-in desk. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves the electronic visa in 3 business days, and the QR code PDF is accepted at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports plus every major land border.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 â 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.
Tip for Tanzanian travellers: Tip for Tanzanian travellers: there is a natural crossover between Tanzanian safari operators and Cambodian temple-hopping itineraries â the Serengeti and Ngorongoro pacing translates well to the Angkor Wat sunrise sequence, and visitors who run safari camps often notice ecological detail at Tonle Sap and around Ta Prohm. Apply 7 to 10 days before your Kilimanjaro or Dar es Salaam departure. Your card statement will show the equivalent in TZS at checkout.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Tanzanian 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 Tanzanian 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 â 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 â no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing â government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Tanzanian travellers comparing the routes find the Cambodia online visa is the only practical choice because there is no Cambodian embassy in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma or Zanzibar. Visa on arrival exists at $30 to $36 USD cash but means an extra queue after a long Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways or Emirates flight, exposes you to small-bill change problems and offers no pre-clearance against airline boarding checks. The Cambodia eVisa at $80 USD all-inclusive is approved before your JRO or DAR departure and is accepted at every major airport plus the Poipet, Bavet, Cham Yeam and Tropaeng Kreal land borders, which suits Tanzanian visitors planning a wider ASEAN loop.
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.

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Tanzanian Citizens
Both options exist for Tanzanian travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters â price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Tanzanian safari operators and outbound tourists find a useful parallel between East African game drives and Cambodian temple-hopping: the patience of a Serengeti sunrise translates well into a dawn visit to Angkor Wat, and the wildlife reading skills built on Kilimanjaro climbs and Ngorongoro days pay off at the Tonle Sap floating villages. Most Tanzanian visitors anchor in Siem Reap for Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm, then move to Phnom Penh for the Royal Palace, the National Museum and Tuol Sleng. The 30-day Type T stay and 90-day visa validity from issue give room to extend the trip to Sihanoukville, Koh Rong and onward into Vietnam or Thailand under an East African Community routing loop on the way home.

Practical advice from travellers who've been â 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 â small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains â 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 ($2â3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers â both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only â 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 â 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.
