Do You Need an Onward Ticket and Proof of Funds for Cambodia? (US Travelers)
Cambodia does not make you prove an onward ticket or a bank balance to approve your eVisa or to stamp you in. The catch is one step earlier — at the US departure gate, where the airline, not Cambodia, can ask. Here is exactly where the line sits.
Do US citizens need an onward ticket and proof of funds for Cambodia?
No. Cambodia does not require US citizens to show an onward or return ticket, and it does not require you to prove a minimum bank balance or funds for the eVisa or at immigration. There is no onward-travel field on the eVisa application and no published proof-of-funds threshold. The one place the question can come up is the airline check-in counter at your US departure gate, where the carrier — not Cambodia — may ask about onward travel because they are liable if a destination refuses you. A confirmed Cambodia eVisa is the strongest answer to that question, because it shows you are already cleared to enter. You do not need a paid return flight or a printed bank statement to fly.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Do US citizens need an onward or return ticket to enter Cambodia?
No. Cambodia does not require US citizens to show an onward or return ticket to approve the eVisa or to enter at the airport. There is no onward-travel field on the application and no routine ticket check at immigration. The only place the question can come up is your airline at the US departure gate, which may ask for reassurance you are cleared to enter — and a confirmed eVisa answers that.
Does Cambodia require proof of funds for the eVisa?
No. There is no minimum bank balance and no proof-of-funds requirement for US citizens on the Cambodia eVisa. You will not be asked for a bank statement, a payslip, or an employer letter, and there is no published dollar figure you must show. Any specific number you see online as a required balance to enter Cambodia is not an official threshold.
Can my airline refuse to board me without an onward ticket?
It is possible, because airlines are liable if a country refuses you on arrival, and some gate agents ask about onward travel — especially on one-way tickets. The most reliable way to remove that concern is to hold a confirmed Cambodia eVisa, which shows you are already cleared to enter. With an approved eVisa in hand, a one-way ticket is rarely a problem.
Should I buy a throwaway onward ticket just in case?
Usually not necessary. When you are holding an approved eVisa, you have already answered the airline’s core question — that you are cleared to enter Cambodia. Carry your eVisa PDF and be ready to describe a rough exit plan, and you have covered the gate check without paying for a ticket you do not actually want.
How much money do I need to enter Cambodia as a US tourist?
There is no official amount required to enter. Cambodia sets no minimum balance for the eVisa or at immigration. As travel common sense, you should still carry a working card and some cash for the trip itself, since Cambodia runs largely on cash and cards day to day — but that is for your own use, not something any official will ask to see.
Does the e-Arrival Card ask for my onward ticket or funds?
No. The e-Arrival Card collects arrival details — your flight, your address in Cambodia, and a customs declaration — across its 14 fields, submitted within 7 days before you fly. It does not ask for an onward ticket or proof of funds. It is a separate, mandatory step from the eVisa for every air arrival.
