The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Irish citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Irish citizens
Irish passport holders need a Cambodia tourist visa (Type T) or business visa (Type E) before flying, and the online Cambodia electronic visa replaces the older route via the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in London. The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs processes Irish applications fully online with QR-coded approval emailed in 3 business days. The eVisa is accepted at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports plus six major land borders.
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.
Tip for Irish travellers: Apply 5 to 7 days before your Dublin–Heathrow or Dublin–Schiphol connection so any document re-check finishes before the long-haul leg to Bangkok or Singapore.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Irish 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 Irish 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.
Irish backpackers, gap-year students and couples on a Southeast Asia loop take Type T at $80, while Dublin-based tech, pharma and EU-aligned business travellers attending Phnom Penh meetings choose Type E at $90 to keep their stay extendable inside Cambodia.
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 Irish Citizens Can Enter Cambodia with Their eVisa

Angkor International, Siem Reap
Airport code SAI
Sihanoukville International
Airport code KOS
Arriving by Land
Bavet

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Irish Citizens
Both options exist for Irish 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.
Irish backpackers form one of the most established travel cultures in Southeast Asia, often opening their loop in Cambodia before moving into Thailand and Vietnam. Dublin-based families and couples combine Angkor Wat with the islands of Koh Rong, while older travellers favour the slower pace of Battambang and the Mekong towns.
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.
