2 Things British Travellers Must Have to Travel to Cambodia: Visa and e-Arrival Card
Besides a valid passport, British travellers need two things to enter Cambodia: a visa and the Cambodia e-Arrival Card. They are separate documents, done at different times. Here is what each one is, when to sort it, and how they work together at the airport.
What do British travellers need to travel to Cambodia?
Two things, on top of a passport valid for six months beyond entry: a Cambodian visa and the Cambodia e-Arrival Card. The visa gives you permission to enter and is best arranged weeks ahead as an eVisa. The e-Arrival Card is an arrival declaration filed online in the 7 days before you land.

- British travellers need two documents for Cambodia, on top of a passport valid for six months beyond entry: a visa and the e-Arrival Card.
- The visa is your permission to enter. The Cambodia eVisa costs $80 USD (Tourist) or $90 USD (Business) through us and is approved in 3–5 days.
- The e-Arrival Card is an arrival declaration that replaced the paper immigration, health and customs forms. Every traveller files one, visa or not.
- Do them in order: the visa weeks before you fly, the e-Arrival Card in the 7 days before you land.
- At the airport you show both, together with your passport. One does not replace the other.
Two documents, two different jobs
A lot of British travellers arrive at the planning stage of a Cambodia trip thinking there is one form to fill in. There are two. The first is a visa, because UK passport holders are not visa-exempt for Cambodia. The second is the Cambodia e-Arrival Card, which every traveller flying into the country has to file, whatever their nationality and whatever visa they hold.
They are easy to confuse because both are done online, both arrive by email and both involve a QR code. But they do different jobs, they are filed at different times and neither one replaces the other. If you only remember one thing from this guide, make it this: the visa is permission to come in, and the e-Arrival Card is the declaration you make on the way in.
Thing 1: a Cambodian visa
British passport holders need a visa for any stay in Cambodia. Most holidaymakers use the Type T tourist visa, which allows a 30-day stay from the date you enter and is valid for 90 days from the date it is issued, so you can apply comfortably before you travel. If you are going for meetings, conferences or other work-related visits, the Type E business visa is the one to choose.
You can get the visa as an eVisa before you leave, or as a visa on arrival at the airport. The eVisa is the simpler option for most UK travellers. You arrive with it already approved, you skip the visa desk queue after a long-haul flight, and you know before you board that everything is in order.
Through us, you can apply for the Cambodia eVisa online for $80 USD (Tourist) or $90 USD (Business), approved in 3–5 days and delivered by email. We do not need a photo. If you hold a British passport other than a full British citizen passport, check the eligibility checker first.
For everything else about the visa itself, including extensions and visa on arrival, see our full guide to the Cambodia visa for UK citizens.
Check your passport before you apply for anything. It should be valid for at least six months beyond the date you enter Cambodia and have at least one blank page. If it does not, renew it first: the visa and the e-Arrival Card both have to match the passport you actually travel on.
اکثر پوچھے گئے سوالات
What two things do British travellers need for Cambodia?
A Cambodian visa and the Cambodia e-Arrival Card, plus a passport valid for at least six months beyond your entry date.
Is the e-Arrival Card a visa?
No. It is an arrival declaration that replaced the paper immigration, health and customs forms. British travellers still need a visa as well.
Can I get both at the same time?
Not on the official forms. The visa can be done weeks ahead; the e-Arrival Card only within 7 days of landing. If you order both with us early, we hold your e-Arrival details and file when the window opens.
Do I need the e-Arrival Card if I get a visa on arrival?
Yes. Every traveller flying into Cambodia files an e-Arrival Card, whichever kind of visa they use.
How long can I stay on the tourist eVisa?
The Type T tourist eVisa allows a 30-day stay from the date you enter, and it is valid for 90 days from the date it is issued.
How much do the two cost through you?
The eVisa is $80 USD (Tourist) or $90 USD (Business). The e-Arrival Card is $20, $35 or $60 USD per traveller, depending on speed.
Does each member of my family need both?
Yes. Each traveller needs their own visa and their own e-Arrival Card, matched to their own passport, children included.
