Do New Zealand Citizens Need a Visa for Cambodia in 2026? NZ Passport Guide
Yes. Every New Zealand citizen travelling to Cambodia in 2026 requires a visa—and if you are flying into Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville, you must also file the online Cambodia e-Arrival Card within 7 days before landing. Here is the complete NZ passport guide.
Do New Zealand citizens need a visa for Cambodia in 2026?
Yes. New Zealand passport holders must hold a visa to enter Cambodia, and every air traveller must also file a Cambodia e-Arrival Card within 7 days before landing. Most Kiwis apply online for the $80 USD Tourist eVisa (approved in 3–5 days for a 30-day stay) and save their e-Arrival QR code before flying.
Önemli Noktalar
- Yes: New Zealand passport holders need a visa for any stay in Cambodia, plus the mandatory Cambodia e-Arrival Card when arriving by air.
- Because Cambodia has no resident embassy in Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch, Kiwi travellers apply online for the Cambodia eVisa: $80 USD Tourist or $90 USD Business through our service, approved in 3–5 days with no photo required.
- Every Kiwi flying into Cambodia must also complete the Cambodia e-Arrival Card within the 7 days before landing to obtain the QR code scanned at Immigration.
- Phnom Penh flights now use Techo International Airport (KTI), which replaced the old PNH airport in September 2025, while Angkor Wat flights use Siem Reap Angkor International (SAI).
- All Thailand–Cambodia land border crossings have been closed since 2025, so New Zealanders combining Thailand and Cambodia must fly between Bangkok and KTI or SAI.
The short answer: Kiwis need both a visa and a Cambodia e-Arrival Card
If you travel on a New Zealand passport, you are used to visa-free entry across much of Europe, the Americas, and parts of Asia. Cambodia, however, is not visa-free for New Zealand citizens. Whether you are visiting Siem Reap for three days to see Angkor Wat or spending a month travelling from Phnom Penh down to Kampot and Koh Rong, you need a Cambodian visa.
Alongside your visa, Cambodia requires a second online document for every air arrival: the Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA). Since 2024, this digital declaration has replaced the paper immigration, health, and customs forms that used to be handed out on the plane. You file it within the 7 days before you land and present its QR code at Immigration.

Cambodia visa options for New Zealanders (and why online eVisa is the standard route)
Cambodia does not maintain a resident embassy or consulate in Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch—diplomatic accreditation for New Zealand is handled from Canberra, Australia. Because posting a physical New Zealand passport across the Tasman Sea is slow and unnecessary, New Zealanders use either the online Cambodia eVisa before departure or a Visa on Arrival at the airport.
Tourist eVisa (Type T) — $80 USD
The Type T Tourist eVisa covers holidays, Angkor Wat sightseeing, Mekong river cruises, and visiting friends or family. It is valid for 90 days from the date of issue and grants a single-entry stay of up to 30 days. Through our service, the Tourist eVisa is $80 USD, approved in 3–5 days, and emailed as a PDF with no passport photo required.
Business eVisa (Type E) — $90 USD
If you are travelling for business meetings, trade, NGO project work, or a longer stay that you plan to extend inside Cambodia, choose the Type E Business eVisa. It costs $90 USD through our service, is approved in 3–5 days with no photo required, and provides an initial 30-day stay.
Why pre-approved eVisa beats airport Visa on Arrival
After flying from Auckland (AKL), Wellington (WLG), or Christchurch (CHC) via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Melbourne, or Bangkok, the last thing most Kiwis want is to queue at the airport Visa on Arrival counter with crisp US dollar banknotes (New Zealand dollars are not accepted at Cambodian airports). Having your eVisa approved before you leave home lets you walk straight to the immigration desks.
You can apply for your Cambodia eVisa online in a few minutes, or check any non-NZ passports in your travel group with our eligibility checker.
