Cambodia e-Arrival Card for French Travellers: Step-by-Step 2026 Guide
Flying from France to Cambodia in 2026? Alongside your visa, every French passenger must complete the Cambodia e-Arrival Card within the 7 days before landing. Here is the step-by-step process for single and multi-stop flights out of Paris CDG, Lyon, Marseille, and Nice.
How do French travellers apply for the Cambodia e-Arrival Card in 2026?
French travellers complete the Cambodia e-Arrival Card online within the 7 days before landing at Techo International (KTI), Siem Reap Angkor (SAI), or Sihanoukville (KOS). You enter your French passport details, final arrival flight, hotel, departure date, and next destination, then save the resulting QR code to show at Immigration alongside your visa.

- Every French citizen flying into Cambodia must complete the Cambodia e-Arrival Card within the 7 days before landing, in addition to holding a valid visa.
- The e-Arrival Card replaces the old paper immigration card, health form, and customs declaration with one QR code scanned on arrival.
- When flying from Paris CDG or regional French airports via Bangkok, Singapore, Doha, or Ho Chi Minh City, enter the flight number of the final plane that lands in Cambodia.
- In 2026, the form asks for your departure date from Cambodia and your next destination; if you file with us and have not booked onward travel yet, our form lets you say "not booked yet" and we email you to add it later.
- Each person in a French family or tour group needs their own e-Arrival Card, and we file a card for every traveller in a party, babies included, because each one travels on their own passport.
Why French travellers need the e-Arrival Card even with an approved eVisa
Many French visitors to Cambodia arrange their Tourist eVisa ($80 USD) or Business eVisa ($90 USD) several weeks before departure and assume all their border formalities are finished. Then, while checking in at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or waiting for a connecting flight in Bangkok, Singapore, or Doha, they hear about the Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA).
The e-Arrival Card is not a second visa. It is Cambodia’s mandatory digital arrival declaration, which replaced the three paper forms (immigration, health, and customs) in 2024. Every air passenger arriving in Cambodia must submit one within the 7 days before landing and show the resulting QR code at the immigration counter.

What if you are travelling on a flexible Indochina itinerary and have not fixed the exact date you leave Cambodia? If you file with us and have not booked onward travel yet, our form lets you say “not booked yet” and we email you to add it later.

Handling connections from Paris CDG, Lyon, and Nice—plus multi-country Asia trips

اکثر پوچھے گئے سوالات
When should French travellers submit the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Within the 7 days before the date your flight lands in Cambodia. If you book through us earlier, we hold your details and submit automatically when your 7-day window opens.
Do I still need a Cambodia visa if I have the e-Arrival QR code?
Yes. The e-Arrival Card is an arrival declaration, not a visa. French citizens must also hold a Cambodia eVisa ($80 USD Tourist or $90 USD Business) or get a visa on arrival.
Which airport code should I choose for Phnom Penh in 2026?
Select Techo International Airport (KTI), which replaced the old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) in September 2025.
What if I have not booked my onward flight out of Cambodia yet?
The 2026 form asks for your departure date and next destination. If you file with us, our form lets you say "not booked yet" and we email you to add it later.
Does every child in a French family need a separate e-Arrival Card?
Yes. Every passport holder requires their own QR code. We file a card for every traveller in a party, babies included, because each one travels on their own passport.
Can I show my Cambodia e-Arrival QR code on my phone offline?
Yes. An internet connection is needed only to submit the form. Once you have the QR code, a phone screenshot, saved PDF, or paper printout works offline at Immigration.
