Cambodia Tourist eVisa FAQ — Type T Visa Explained
The Cambodia tourist eVisa (Type T) costs $80 all-inclusive and covers sightseeing, leisure, family visits, and short cultural trips. It is the right choice for most travellers visiting Cambodia.
What is a Cambodia tourist eVisa?
The Cambodia tourist eVisa, officially Type T, is a single-entry visa for sightseeing, leisure, family visits, and short cultural travel. It costs $80 all-inclusive, allows up to 30 days on arrival, and is valid for 3 months from issue.
$80 all-inclusive through our service — covers the official Cambodian government fee, our expert application review, photo formatting, e-Arrival guidance, and 24/7 support. The published price is what you pay.
What activities does a Cambodia tourist eVisa allow?
Sightseeing (Angkor Wat, temples, museums), leisure (beaches, river cruises), family and friend visits, short cultural trips, food tours, and overland travel within Cambodia. Anything that is not paid work or formal business meetings.
What does the Cambodia tourist eVisa NOT allow?
Paid work of any kind, formal business meetings, conferences as a delegate, contract signing, or being paid by a Cambodian entity. For any business activity, the Type E business eVisa is required by Cambodian law.
How long can I stay on a Cambodia tourist eVisa?
Up to 30 days from your arrival date. The day of arrival counts as day 1. To stay longer, extend by 30 days at a visa agent inside Cambodia (one-time extension only).
Can I extend a Cambodia tourist eVisa?
Yes, once — by 30 days. Use a visa agent in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. Cost is ~$45-75 USD. After this single extension, you must leave Cambodia or switch to a business eVisa via a visa run.
Yes. If you leave Cambodia for a side trip to Thailand or Vietnam, you need a new eVisa to re-enter. Multiple-entry options exist only via the embassy route.
Can my children get a Cambodia tourist eVisa?
Yes — every child, including infants, needs their own Cambodia tourist eVisa at $80. Children cannot travel on a parent's eVisa. Apply for each family member individually.
Can I use a tourist eVisa for a wedding in Cambodia?
Yes. Attending a wedding, family celebration, or religious ceremony is a tourist activity. The Type T tourist eVisa covers it. Only if you are working at the event (e.g. paid photographer) would you need a business eVisa.
Is the Cambodia tourist eVisa accepted at all entry points?
Yes — at the three international airports (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville) and two land borders (Bavet, Tropaeng Kreal). Cham Yeam and Poipet are currently closed for eVisa entry.
Can I do volunteer work on a Cambodia tourist eVisa?
Unpaid volunteering for an NGO is a grey area. Cambodian immigration may treat it as work. Most reputable NGOs require volunteers to enter on a Type E business eVisa to avoid issues. Short orphanage or church visits as a tourist are usually fine.
Can I do remote work from Cambodia on a tourist eVisa?
Technically the tourist eVisa does not cover paid work, even for foreign employers. Digital nomads use the business eVisa (Type E) to stay compliant. Enforcement on tourist-visa remote work is light but the legal route is Type E.
How quickly can I get a Cambodia tourist eVisa?
Standard processing is 3 business days. Rush options are available for travellers flying within 48-72 hours. Most applications are approved within 1-2 business days when documents are clean.
Is the Cambodia tourist eVisa cheaper than visa-on-arrival?
About the same price-wise, but the eVisa is approved before you fly — no queue at the airport, no risk of issues at the counter. For most travellers the time saved outweighs the small price difference.
What documents do I need for a Cambodia tourist eVisa?
Passport bio page scan (6+ months validity), recent passport-style photo, and an email address. No flight ticket, no hotel booking, no bank statement — that is the whole list.
