ABD Vatandaşları İçin Kamboçya Vizesi Gereksinimleri: 2026 Yılı Tam Uygunluk Kontrol Listesi

What the application actually asks for

Despite the long list of rules above, the application form itself asks for only five things. Three you already have, and two you can sort in 90 seconds at a window. Here is the full list in the order the form requests it.

• Your US passport — valid 6+ months from your date of entry, with one full blank page.
• A recent passport-style photo — plain white background, face fully visible, neutral expression, no glasses, no hats. A clean phone photo against a white wall is exactly what most American applicants use.
• A clear scan or photo of your passport bio page — both edges in frame, no glare on the laminate, every line of text and the machine-readable zone legible.
• A working email address — ideally a personal Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud account, since corporate inboxes that block PDF attachments are a common trap (your approval letter is a PDF).
• A payment method — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

What you do NOT need

This is where Cambodia parts ways with most visas Americans apply for. You do NOT need a return or onward flight ticket. You do NOT need a hotel booking — the form asks for an intended address in Cambodia, but a hotel name and city is enough, with no confirmation PDF. You do NOT need a bank statement or proof of funds; there is no minimum balance and no income test. You do NOT need an itinerary, a vaccination record, or travel insurance to apply. None of it.

The reason all of that is missing is straightforward: Cambodian Immigration treats the visa-fee payment itself as your commitment, and collects the bigger arrival picture — your flight number, your address, your customs declaration — separately through the e-Arrival card in the week before you land. The application stage only asks who you are, whether it can see your face, and whether you can pay. That said, the CDC and the US State Department still publish standing travel-health and safety guidance for Cambodia that is worth a five-minute read before any trip, even though none of it affects what you upload.

Stay, validity, and where your eVisa is accepted

Three numbers define what your eVisa actually buys you, and getting them straight saves Americans the most common 2026 headaches. Your visa is valid for 3 months from the date it is issued — that is the window in which you must enter Cambodia, not the length of your trip. Once you enter, you may stay 30 days. And it is single entry, so if you leave Cambodia you need a fresh visa to come back.

The 30-day stay is now a hard ceiling for tourists. The auto-extension that used to let visitors drift past 30 days ended in November 2025, so a Tourist eVisa cannot be stretched in-country — if you want longer, you plan around it or you choose the Business eVisa, which can be extended. Overstaying carries a daily fine at departure and can complicate a future entry, so treat day 30 as firm. Our full guide to how long US citizens can stay covers extension options and the overstay rules.

Where you land matters too. Your eVisa is accepted at the major international airports, including Techo International (KTI) — the new Phnom Penh airport that replaced the old PNH code on September 9, 2025 — plus Siem Reap-Angkor and Sihanouk International. What changed for 2026 is the land approach: all seven Thailand-Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025, so the classic Bangkok-overland-to-Siem Reap routing does not work right now. If your trip touches Thailand, you fly in. Our guide to which Cambodia entry points accept your eVisa maps every open airport and border for Americans.

The e-Arrival card and putting it all together

There is one more requirement that is easy to miss because it is not part of the visa: the e-Arrival card. Every air traveler arriving in Cambodia in 2026 files it — it is the digital immigration, customs, and health declaration that replaced the old paper arrival forms. It is 14 fields, it costs $20 USD verified through us, and the strict part is timing: you submit it within 7 days before you arrive, not earlier. Our guide on whether you need the Cambodia e-Arrival card explains exactly who has to file and what each field asks for.

Keep the two steps separate in your head. The eVisa is one form you complete now, as soon as your trip is roughly set, because it is valid for 3 months. The e-Arrival card is a different form you complete in the final week. Americans who plan for both at the start almost never get stopped at the kiosk; the ones who forget the e-Arrival are the ones holding up the line at arrivals.

Put it together and the whole shape is small: a valid US passport, a recent photo, a scan, an email, and a card — then a Tourist eVisa at $80 USD or a Business eVisa at $90 USD, both approved in 3–5 days and delivered as a printable PDF by email, both with free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction, and both backed by US-timezone support. No return flight, no hotel booking, no bank statement. When you are ready, you can apply for your Cambodia eVisa, and our complete guide to the Cambodia visa for US citizens pulls cost, documents, and processing into one canonical reference.
