Cambodia eVisa Credit Card Surcharge for Australians (2026 Reality)
The Cambodia eVisa price you see at our checkout — $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist or $90 USD (~$137 AUD) Business — does not include a credit-card surcharge. We charge zero surcharge regardless of card type. What your Australian-issued card adds is a separate FX or foreign-transaction fee from your bank (typically 1.5–3%), which is avoidable with the right card.
Does the Cambodia eVisa price include a credit-card surcharge for Australians?
No — there is no credit-card surcharge added at our checkout. The Cambodia eVisa price for Australians is $80 USD (~$122 AUD) for the Tourist visa or $90 USD (~$137 AUD) for the Business visa, charged at face value regardless of whether you pay with Visa debit, Mastercard credit, AmEx, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. What your Australian-issued card will add is a foreign-transaction fee from your bank — typically 1.5–3% of the AUD amount — because the underlying transaction is in USD. On a CBA, Westpac, NAB, or ANZ standard credit card, expect roughly 3% added as a separate line on your statement labelled 'intl txn fee'. The easiest fix is to pay with a no-FX-fee card like Wise debit, ING Orange Everyday, Macquarie debit, or 28 Degrees, all of which add zero on a USD-denominated charge.

- The Cambodia eVisa price at our checkout includes zero credit-card surcharge: $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist or $90 USD (~$137 AUD) Business, charged at face value regardless of card type or scheme.
- Your Australian-issued card adds its own foreign-transaction fee — typically 1.5–3% — because the underlying transaction is in USD. That fee is paid to your bank, not to us.
- Big four (CBA, Westpac, NAB, ANZ) sit at roughly 3% on most cards. AmEx personal around 3%. This adds $3–$4 AUD to the visa total on a standard credit card.
- Cards that charge zero FX fee on USD transactions: Wise debit, ING Orange Everyday (with monthly deposit conditions), Macquarie debit, 28 Degrees, Up Bank, HSBC Everyday Global Account, and Bankwest Breeze Platinum.
- On your card statement the FX fee appears as a separate line item labelled 'intl txn fee' or 'overseas processing fee' — not bundled into the main visa charge. The eVisa charge itself matches the AUD figure shown at our checkout to within a cent or two.
Two different fees Aussie travellers conflate
What our checkout does (and does not) charge
How that compares to typical Aussie merchant surcharges
What your Australian bank adds in FX fees
What the big four Australian banks actually charge
How the Cambodia eVisa charge appears on your statement
How to verify the charge is correct
Take the AUD figure shown at our checkout. Compare it against the AUD amount on the main charge line of your statement. If they match to within a couple of cents, the transaction settled cleanly at the live mid-market rate. If your bank added an FX fee, it sits on a separate line — that line should be roughly 3% of the main charge on a big-four bank, or zero on a no-FX-fee card.
Why the AUD on your statement might differ slightly from checkout
اکثر پوچھے گئے سوالات
Does VisaToCambodia charge a credit-card surcharge?
No. Our Cambodia eVisa checkout charges $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist or $90 USD (~$137 AUD) Business at face value regardless of whether you pay with Visa debit, Mastercard credit, AmEx, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. There is no merchant surcharge added at the final step. AmEx users in particular often expect a 3% surcharge based on domestic Aussie shopping habits — there is none on our flow.
Why does my CBA / Westpac / NAB / ANZ statement show an extra fee on the eVisa?
That extra line is your bank's foreign-transaction fee — usually around 3% of the AUD-converted amount, labelled 'intl txn fee' or 'overseas processing'. It is applied because the underlying eVisa transaction is in USD, and your bank charges to convert that to AUD. The fee is paid to your bank, not to us. On an $80 USD Tourist visa it adds about $3.66 AUD; on a $90 USD Business visa about $4.11 AUD.
Which Australian cards charge zero FX fee on the Cambodia eVisa?
Wise debit, ING Orange Everyday (with monthly deposit conditions met), Macquarie debit, 28 Degrees Platinum Mastercard, Up Bank debit, HSBC Everyday Global Account, Bankwest Breeze Platinum, and Revolut (Australia) on the free tier within monthly limits. All of these settle a USD purchase at the live mid-market rate with no foreign-transaction fee added.
Does AmEx charge me a surcharge on the Cambodia eVisa?
No surcharge from us on AmEx — the $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist or $90 USD (~$137 AUD) Business price is the same whether you pay with AmEx, Visa, Mastercard, or a wallet. Your AmEx card may apply a foreign-transaction fee of around 3% on its end (standard for AmEx Australia personal cards), which lands as a separate line on your statement. Some AmEx travel-credit cards waive the FX fee — check the product disclosure for your specific card.
Does Apple Pay or Google Pay change the FX fee on my eVisa?
No. Apple Pay and Google Pay are payment methods that inherit the underlying linked card's FX fee policy. If you link a CBA credit card to Apple Pay and pay with Apple Pay, the transaction settles against that CBA credit card and the CBA 3% FX fee still applies. If you link a Wise debit card to Apple Pay, the Wise zero-FX-fee policy applies. The wallet is just a wrapper — the fee comes from the linked card.
What about PayPal — is there a surcharge or different FX rate?
No surcharge from us on PayPal. The wrinkle with PayPal is that it does its own currency conversion at a less favourable rate than your bank's. If you have a USD balance in PayPal, the transaction settles directly in USD without any conversion. If you pay with an AUD-funded PayPal account, PayPal converts USD to AUD using their own rate, which typically adds 2.5–4% over mid-market — comparable to a big-four bank FX fee, just collected by PayPal rather than your bank.
