Cambodia e-Arrival for Couples and Aussie Families: One Card per Person, Done Right
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is per person, not per booking. Couples, families with kids, multi-gen trips — every Aussie traveller submits their own. Here is the order to fill them, how to keep all the QR codes organised in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and the one parent fills everyone with their own passport mistake to avoid.
How do Aussie couples and families fill the Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
One Card per person. There is no group or household form — couples submit two Cards, a family of four submits four, a multi-generational trip with seven travellers submits seven. Fill the eldest first as a clean template, then work down by age, copying the shared fields (accommodation, flight number, arrival date) and changing the per-person passport details for each subsequent Card. Children are filled by a parent using the child's own passport. Save every QR code into a single shared Apple Wallet or Google Wallet folder, labelled with initials. The most common Aussie family mistake is one parent filling every Card with their own passport number — the kiosk catches it on arrival. Our verified e-Arrival is $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) per person, delivered as a printable PDF by email and checked end-to-end before it reaches Immigration.

- Every Aussie traveller — partner, child, grandparent — submits their own Cambodia e-Arrival Card. No household form, no booking-reference form, no parent-fills-all option.
- Start with the eldest traveller whose passport has the cleanest legal name spelling — it makes a good template for the shared fields like accommodation, flight, and arrival date.
- Children's Cards are filled by a parent or guardian using the child's own passport details, ticked as 'Accompanying' where the dropdown offers it.
- Keep all QR codes in a single shared Apple Wallet or Google Wallet folder, labelled with each traveller's initials so the right phone goes to the right person at the kiosk.
- The most common Aussie family mistake is one parent filling every Card with their own passport number — the kiosk catches it and the family ends up at the manual desk.

Why one Card per person matters more than Aussies expect
The one-Card-per-person rule and why kids are not an exception
Why kids still need their own Card
The order to fill: eldest first, then by age down
Step 1 — Fill the eldest, slowly
Step 2 — Fill the next adult, copying shared fields
Step 3 — Fill the kids, by oldest child first
Step 4 — Fill grandparents and other adults last
The shared-string template
Once the eldest's Card is submitted, write down (or copy into a notes app) the exact strings for flight number, arrival date, arrival airport, accommodation name, and accommodation address. Use that note for every subsequent Card in the group. This single habit removes about 80% of the family mismatch rejections we see.
Keeping the QR codes organised in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet
Apple Wallet — the shared family folder
Google Wallet — the labelled pass row
Printed backup — one sheet per person
اکثر پوچھے گئے سوالات
Does my baby or toddler need their own Cambodia e-Arrival Card?
Yes. Every passport entering Cambodia by air needs its own e-Arrival, regardless of the holder's age. A six-month-old infant on their first Australian passport submits a Card filled by a parent using the infant's own passport number, name, and date of birth. There is no infant exception, no under-12 exemption, no add-to-parent option. The kiosk reads each passport chip individually on arrival.
Can one parent fill the e-Arrival for the whole family?
A parent can do the typing for every family member's Card — that is fine — but each Card must contain that specific traveller's passport details, not the parent's. The common Aussie mistake is autofill quietly carrying the parent's passport number across into every subsequent Card. Open a fresh tab for each family member, watch the passport block on each submit, and confirm the name on screen matches the passport on the desk. Five seconds per Card prevents the manual-desk detour on arrival.
Is there a family discount or a single-Card group submission for Cambodia?
No. The e-Arrival is strictly per person and there is no group-form option, no family bundle on the official portal, and no household submission. Each Card is its own submission. Our verified e-Arrival is the same $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) per person regardless of group size, but we batch all the Cards for a family together so the shared fields stay consistent across submissions and the QR codes arrive in one delivery email.
In what order should we fill the Cards for an Aussie family of four?
Eldest first. Start with whichever parent has the cleanest passport name (no recent name changes, no nicknames in the school record), so the shared fields like accommodation, flight, and arrival date are set cleanly. Then the second parent, copying the shared strings word-for-word. Then the oldest child, then the youngest. The shared fields stay identical across all four; only the passport block changes. After the first Card, each subsequent one takes 5–7 minutes rather than the full 12.
My partner has a different surname from mine on their passport — does that matter?
Not at all for the e-Arrival. Each Card contains the passport-name of that specific traveller. There is no field that says 'related to another traveller' for the surname, so different surnames between partners or between parents and kids cause no issue. The kiosk reads the passport chip on arrival and matches it to the Card filed under that passport number. As long as the name on the Card matches the name on the passport, you are clean.
