Egyptian passport holders can apply for Cambodia's electronic visa entirely online and skip the queue at the Cambodian Embassy in Cairo. The e-Visa is faster, cheaper and the preferred route for most travellers flying Cairo-Doha-Phnom Penh.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Egyptian citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Egyptian citizens
Egypt is one of the few African markets with a working Cambodian Embassy (in Cairo), but the online visa is now the default choice for speed. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal issues the Type T tourist eVisa to Egyptian nationals within 3 business days, removing the need to travel to the embassy in Zamalek. The electronic visa is valid for a single entry of up to 30 days.
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.
The Cambodian Embassy in Cairo handles in-person applications for Egyptian travellers, but most prefer the online e-Visa for the time saving. Cairo's transit hub status means Egyptian travellers should pre-approve their eVisa before connecting flights to Phnom Penh. Egyptian travellers usually connect via Doha or Dubai en route to Phnom Penh — apply at least a week ahead of departure.
Tip for Egyptian travellers: Only visit the Cairo embassy in person if you need a long-stay Type E business visa or a same-week emergency issuance — for standard tourism, the online route is faster and identical in legal status.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Egyptian 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 Egyptian 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.
Pick Type T for an Angkor Wat or Mekong holiday from Egypt; only pick Type E if a Cairo-based employer or NGO is sending you to Cambodia for work, since Type E business visas can be extended in Phnom Penh while Type T cannot.
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.
Border entry
Where Egyptian Citizens Can Enter Cambodia with Their eVisa
The approved Cambodia e-Visa entry points cover every international airport and the major land borders — except where noted below.
Arriving by Air
Phnom Penh International
Airport code PNH
Angkor International, Siem Reap
Airport code SAI
Sihanoukville International
Airport code KOS
Arriving by Land
Bavet
Land crossing from Vietnam
Tropaeng Kreal

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Egyptian Citizens
Both options exist for Egyptian 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.
Egyptian travellers — many already accustomed to monumental sites like Karnak and the Pyramids — find Angkor Wat a natural cultural pairing and often combine Siem Reap temples with Phnom Penh's colonial quarter. The Cairo-Doha-Phnom Penh routing via Qatar Airways is the most popular connection and keeps total flight time under 14 hours.
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.

Everything left to know before you apply for your Cambodia tourist visa or Cambodia e-Visa. If your question isn't here, our team replies via WhatsApp or email within minutes.
Do Egyptian citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — Egyptian passport holders need either a Type T tourist visa or Type E business visa to enter Cambodia. The Cambodia electronic visa is approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days, removing the need to travel to the embassy in Cairo.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Egypt?
Yes — the Royal Embassy of Cambodia is located in Cairo, serving Egyptian nationals and travellers across North Africa. Most Egyptian applicants still prefer the online visa because it avoids the in-person trip and ships faster than a paper visa.
How much is a Cambodia visa for Egyptians?
Our service charges $80 USD for the tourist eVisa and $90 USD for the business eVisa. The Cambodian government fee alone is $30 USD; everything else covers processing, document scrutiny and Ministry of Foreign Affairs submission. Your card statement will show the equivalent in EGP at checkout.
How long does the Cambodia visa take for Egyptian passport holders?
Standard processing is 3 business days from a complete Egyptian application. Travellers connecting through Doha, Dubai or Bangkok on the way to Phnom Penh should apply at least one week before departure to allow buffer time.
Can Egyptians get a Cambodia visa on arrival?
Yes — visa on arrival is available to Egyptian passport holders at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports. The eVisa is preferred however because pre-approval gives certainty before boarding flights from Cairo with long connections.
How long can Egyptians stay in Cambodia on the tourist eVisa?
The Type T tourist online visa permits a 30-day stay from the date of entry, with the visa valid 90 days from issue. Egyptian travellers wanting longer in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh can extend once inside Cambodia or switch to a Type E business visa.
What documents do Egyptian citizens need?
A passport valid for 6 months beyond entry, a colour passport-style photo, and a card for the $80 USD payment. No flight booking or hotel reservation is required for the Cambodia online visa, though immigration may ask for onward travel proof.
Do Egyptians need the Cambodia e-Arrival form?
Yes — since July 2024 the e-Arrival form is mandatory for all foreign visitors including Egyptian passport holders. Complete it within 7 days before arrival, separate from the eVisa itself.
Can Egyptians use the Cambodia eVisa at land borders?
Yes — the electronic visa is accepted at Poipet, Bavet and Cham Yeam land checkpoints, useful for Egyptians joining an Indochina circuit from Thailand or Vietnam.
