Cambodia e-Arrival Card: Field-by-Field Walkthrough for Australians (2026)
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is 14 fields and the form most Australians fill the worst. Here is the exact field-by-field walkthrough for Aussies — passport, flight, accommodation, customs, health — with the common failure modes that send people to the slow manual desk on arrival.
What are the 14 fields on the Cambodia e-Arrival Card and how do Australians fill them?
Fourteen fields covering passport details (4 fields), flight & arrival (3), accommodation (2), customs declaration (3), and health declaration (2). The most-common Aussie failure modes are date-format mix-ups (D/M/Y vs M/D/Y), accommodation mismatches with hotel bookings, and name spellings that do not match the passport machine-readable zone. Our verified e-Arrival is $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) and includes a check on every field end-to-end before it reaches Cambodian Immigration. Submit inside the 7-day window before your flight.

The MRZ rule, simplified
If you enter your full name exactly as the MRZ reads it — surname first, all given names in order, no shortenings — you will pass the kiosk's name check. Open the passport, look at the second line, read it left to right, and copy it across. Five extra seconds, zero risk of a manual desk.

اکثر پوچھے گئے سوالات
How many fields are on the Cambodia e-Arrival?
Fourteen fields, grouped into five blocks: passport details (4 fields — full name, passport number, nationality, date of birth), flight and arrival (3 fields — inbound flight number, arrival date, arrival airport), accommodation (2 fields — hotel name, full street address), customs (3 fields — cash declaration, goods declaration, visit purpose), and health (2 fields — health symptoms, recent country visits in the last 14 days). The form runs across roughly three screens and takes 8–12 minutes if nothing trips you up.
What is the machine-readable zone (MRZ) and why does it matter?
The MRZ is the two lines of capital letters and chevrons at the bottom of your passport bio page. It encodes your name, passport number, date of birth, and nationality in a fixed machine-readable format. Cambodian Immigration's kiosk reads the MRZ from your passport chip on arrival and compares it against what you entered on the e-Arrival. If your e-Arrival name says 'Tom Smith' but the MRZ encodes 'SMITH<<THOMAS<JOHN', the kiosk flags a mismatch and you go to the manual desk. The fix is to enter your full name exactly as the MRZ shows it — surname first, all given names in order, no shortenings.
What if I don't know my accommodation address yet?
The workaround Cambodian Immigration accepts is the hotel name and city you most plan to stay at, with 'Hotel TBD' added at the end of the address line. The kiosk treats this as a known placeholder rather than a missing field. If you have already submitted the eVisa with an accommodation guess, copy that same string into the e-Arrival word-for-word, even if you have since changed bookings — the kiosk cross-checks the two and matching is what matters, not whether the booking is real.
Do I need to declare AUD over 10,000?
Only if your AUD amount converts to USD 10,000 or more, because the Cambodian threshold is in US dollars. AUD 10,000 is roughly USD 6,500 — below the line — so an Aussie carrying exactly AUD 10,000 ticks no. AUD 16,000 is over the USD 10,000 line and is a yes. Travellers cheques and bearer instruments count toward the same threshold. Saying yes is a 5-minute conversation at the customs desk with a short form to fill, not a problem. Saying no when you should have said yes is the offence.
Do I need to declare cash if I'm bringing under USD 10,000?
No. The cash declaration is only triggered at USD 10,000 or more. If you are bringing USD 9,500, AUD 14,000, or any amount that converts to under USD 10,000, tick no and move on. The threshold applies to the total across all currencies and bearer instruments, so if you have AUD 8,000 in cash plus USD 4,000 in travellers cheques, add the USD-equivalent of both — at current rates that is around USD 9,200, still under the line, so still no.
