Malagasy travellers skip the trip to Bangkok and apply for the Cambodia eVisa online from Antananarivo in minutes, approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days. Most routes leave Ivato (TNR) via Nairobi or Addis Ababa onward to Bangkok and Phnom Penh.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Malagasy citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Malagasy citizens
Malagasy passport holders need a Cambodia tourist visa (Type T) or business visa (Type E) before arrival, and the electronic visa is the only practical option since Cambodia has no embassy or consulate in Antananarivo. Apply online from Antananarivo, Toamasina or Antsirabe with a Madagascar-issued bank card; the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves most applications in 3 business days. The PDF e-Visa arrives by email — print it, fly Ivato to Bangkok via Nairobi or Addis Ababa, and present it on arrival at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.
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.
Tip for Malagasy travellers: Malagasy travellers drawn by Madagascar's unique biodiversity will find Cambodia an easy cross-over destination — the Cardamom Mountains, Tonle Sap floodplains and Koh Rong reefs deliver an Indian-Ocean-to-Indochina rhythm. Pair Angkor Wat with a few days of wildlife-led travel in the Cardamoms for a familiar conservation-focused flow.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Malagasy 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 Malagasy 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.
Cambodia visa on arrival is technically available to Malagasy passport holders at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports for $30-36 USD cash, but after the long Ivato–Nairobi–Bangkok routing most travellers prefer the pre-approved electronic visa to skip the on-arrival queue. The online visa is also accepted at Poipet, Bavet, Cham Yeam and Tropaeng Kreal land borders, useful for Malagasy visitors combining Cambodia with Thailand or Vietnam in a single ASEAN trip.
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.

Airport code KOS
Arriving by Land

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Malagasy Citizens
Both options exist for Malagasy 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.
Malagasy travellers used to lemurs, rainforests and endemic species will find Cambodia an unexpectedly natural extension — the Cardamom Mountains hold pileated gibbons and Asian elephants, while Tonle Sap is one of Southeast Asia's richest freshwater wetlands. Plan 12–16 days to cover Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh's riverfront and a wildlife-led detour into the Cardamoms or a short southern coast stretch on Koh Rong.
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.

Yes — Madagascar passport holders need a Type T tourist visa or Type E business visa for any stay. The Cambodia electronic visa is approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days and is the standard route from Antananarivo.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Madagascar?
No — Cambodia maintains no embassy or consulate in Antananarivo or anywhere else in Madagascar. The nearest Cambodian mission is in Bangkok, which is why the Cambodia online visa is the only practical option for Malagasy passport holders.
How much is the Cambodia eVisa for Malagasy citizens?
The Type T tourist online visa is $80 USD and the Type E business eVisa is $90 USD through our service. The Cambodian government fee alone is $30 USD; the rest covers Ministry of Foreign Affairs submission, document scrutiny and email delivery of the QR code visa. Your card statement will show the equivalent in MGA at checkout.

How long can Malagasy citizens stay in Cambodia?
The Type T tourist eVisa allows a 30-day stay from the date of entry, with the visa valid 90 days from issue. Malagasy travellers wanting more time near Angkor Wat or Phnom Penh can extend once inside Cambodia or upgrade to a Type E business visa.
What documents do Malagasy citizens need for the Cambodia eVisa?
A Madagascar passport valid 6 months beyond entry, a colour passport-style photo on white background, and a card for the $80 USD payment. No flight booking, hotel reservation or embassy interview is required; communication with the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs runs in English, even though Madagascar passports are bilingual French and Malagasy.
