Cambodia accepts hijab, sikh dastaar, kippah, and other religious head coverings in the eVisa photo, as long as the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible and no shadow obscures features. A respectful walkthrough for Muslim, Sikh, Jewish, and other Australian applicants — including the optional headwear-free path and what the review actually checks.
Yes. Cambodia accepts hijab, sikh dastaar (turban), kippah, and other faith-related head coverings in the eVisa photo for Australians, provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible and no shadow from the headwear obscures the eyes, brows, nose, or mouth. The same Cambodia eVisa photo spec applies otherwise — plain white background, neutral expression, JPEG under 2 MB, face fills 70 to 80 percent of the vertical frame. Hairline does not need to be visible if it is normally covered. Australians may also choose to submit a photo without the head covering if they prefer — both paths are equally accepted when the photo meets the spec. Tourist eVisa is $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in, approved in 3 business days.
Other head coverings
Cambodia's rule applies the same way to other faith-related head coverings — Orthodox Christian veils, Hindu pagri in some communities, Buddhist monastic robes that cover the head. The two underlying conditions are unchanged: face visible chin to forehead, no shadow across features. If you are unsure how your specific headwear sits within the rule, our Aussie-timezone support team can review a draft photo before you submit.
