Cambodia eVisa Fees Explained for Australians: 2026 What's Included (No Hidden Charges)

Worked example — a single Aussie applying for the Tourist eVisa

Concrete numbers are easier than abstract pricing. Take a single Australian traveller — call her Maddy, flying Sydney to Phnom Penh in mid-July 2026 for two weeks of leisure travel. She applies for the Tourist eVisa from a Sydney desk on a Tuesday evening, paying with a Westpac Visa debit card.

The order summary shows $80.00 USD. Next to it: $122 AUD. She taps confirm. Her card is charged $122.40 AUD — the exact figure depends on the live mid-market USD→AUD rate at the moment of transaction, so it lands somewhere in the $121–$124 AUD band day-to-day. There is no second line item, no "service fee", no card surcharge appearing at the final step. The confirmation email lands in her inbox 90 seconds later showing the single $80 USD / $122.40 AUD charge.

Three days later her bank statement settles. The line item reads $122.40 AUD against our merchant name. Westpac, like most Australian banks, applies a 3% international transaction fee on USD-denominated charges — so $3.67 AUD shows up as a separate line below the main transaction. That fee is paid to Westpac, not to us. It is the only "extra" Maddy will see, and it is between her and her bank. A debit card on Wise, Up Bank, or Revolut would avoid it entirely.

Total cost to Maddy for the Cambodia eVisa: $122.40 AUD to us, plus $3.67 AUD to her bank, equals $126.07 AUD landed cost. If she also buys the verified e-Arrival, add $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) and the matching bank surcharge. The AUD conversion mechanics are covered in more depth in the dedicated AUD conversion guide. The headline number to keep in mind is that the figure on the checkout page and the figure on the card statement always match — the bank's own surcharge sits on a separate line and is its own conversation.

If Maddy decides at the last minute that she also wants to book through us rather than DIY the e-Arrival, the second checkout takes about ninety seconds and lands as its own line on her statement. From a pricing-transparency angle, two products means two charges — never one inflated total dressed up as a bundle discount. That separation is deliberate, so the cancellation, refund, and resubmission rules for each product stay clean rather than getting tangled together. The Cambodia eVisa application is the single entry point either way.

Group and family applications — no discount, but no surprises either

Australian families travelling together to Cambodia almost always ask whether the per-application price drops for two, three, or four people on the same booking. The honest answer is no. Each application is a separately processed file with its own Cambodian government tariff underneath, and there is no volume discount built into the eVisa scheme. A family of four applying together pays four times the Tourist fee — $320 USD (~$488 AUD) all-in for four travellers — and gets four PDFs back inside the same 3-business-day window.

Where families do get a small operational win is the pay-for-others mechanic. One Australian cardholder can pay for all four applications in a single checkout, with each traveller's passport and photo uploaded as a separate sub-application inside the order. The card statement shows a single $488 AUD charge against our merchant name rather than four separate charges, which keeps the household reconciliation tidy. Each family member still gets their own individual approval letter at the end.

Children get the same fee as adults — Cambodian Immigration does not run a discounted child or infant tariff under the eVisa scheme. Every passport holder, regardless of age, gets a $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist (or $90 USD / ~$137 AUD Business) application processed against the same flat tariff. This is the part Aussie parents are most often surprised by, because most other countries in the region (Vietnam, Thailand-when-it-runs, Indonesia) have a reduced rate or zero fee for children. Cambodia does not.

For the standard family-of-four worked example and the per-person AUD breakdown including the e-Arrival, the full Cambodia visa cost for Australians guide has the figures laid out cleanly.

What to do if you see an unexpected charge

The fastest way to read a Cambodia eVisa transaction on an Australian card statement is to expect exactly two line items if you bought both products: one for the visa and one for the verified e-Arrival. The visa charge appears against our merchant name, in the AUD amount shown at checkout. The e-Arrival, if purchased, appears as its own separate $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) line. That is the full picture from us.

If you see a third charge, work through three explanations in order before anything else. First, the bank's international transaction fee — usually 2.5–3% of the main charge, sometimes listed as "intl txn fee" or "overseas processing". This is the most common cause and it is between you and your bank, not a charge from us. Second, a dynamic currency conversion fee if the checkout was ever loaded through an aggressive third-party FX layer, though our direct checkout does not apply this. Third, an unrelated transaction that happens to have settled the same day.

If after working through those three you genuinely cannot match a line item to a product you bought from us, the path is straightforward. Email the Sydney support desk with the date, AUD amount, and last four digits of the card. We can match the transaction inside an hour during Australian business hours and either confirm what it relates to or process a refund immediately if it is a duplicate. Cardholder chargebacks are always available as a fallback, but in practice almost every "second charge" question resolves cleanly inside the support thread before that step is needed.

The wider Cambodia eVisa payment troubleshooting playbook covers card declines, 3D Secure prompts, PayPal currency settings, and the small handful of Australian banks that have flagged Cambodian merchant codes for review. For applications that have been declined outright rather than a payment query, the rejected-eVisa playbook is the right next read. Aussies who want a sanity-check on the wider Cambodia travel picture before tapping confirm can also cross-reference the Smartraveller advisory — it does not list visa fees but it is the canonical Australian government source on entry rules.
