Cambodia eVisa for Australian Children & Minors: 2026 Family Trip Guide
Every Australian child travelling to Cambodia — including newborns — needs their own eVisa, own passport, and own e-Arrival Card. No shared family applications, no discount. Here is the full 2026 family-travel guide, with the photo workaround for infants and the school-holiday booking pressure Aussie parents always hit.
Do Australian children need their own Cambodia eVisa?
Yes — every Australian child travelling to Cambodia, including newborns, needs their own Cambodia eVisa under their own passport. No shared family applications, no family discount, same $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in Tourist eVisa for each minor as for adults. Children also each need their own e-Arrival Card. Photo specs are the same (4×6 cm, white background, no smile) — but for infants and young kids, the eyes-open-mouth-closed rule is relaxed in practice. Bring printed copies of every child's eVisa at the airport — Cambodian Immigration scans each one separately.

- Every Australian child — including a newborn travelling at three weeks old — needs their own Cambodia eVisa under their own passport. No shared family applications, no family discount.
- A family of four submits four separate applications and pays four × $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist eVisa fees. Same 3-business-day approval clock for each.
- Photo specs are identical to adults (4×6 cm, white background, no smile) — but Cambodian Immigration is lenient on the closed-mouth and eyes-open rule for infants and toddlers in practice.
- Each child also needs their own e-Arrival Card filed within 7 days before arrival. Newborns are not exempt — it is one card per passport, every time.
- Aussie school-holiday weeks (Dec/Jan, Mar/Apr, Jun/Jul, Sep/Oct) create booking pressure on the DFAT child-passport queue too — apply 6–8 weeks ahead, not the usual 1–2.

اکثر پوچھے گئے سوالات
Do Australian children need their own Cambodia eVisa?
Yes — every Australian child, including newborns, needs their own Cambodia eVisa under their own passport. There is no minimum age below which a child can ride on a parent's visa, no family bundle on the eVisa portal, and no shared application. A family of four submits four separate applications and pays 4 × $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist eVisa fees. Same 3-business-day approval clock for each application, same documents (passport, photo, bio-page scan, email, payment) per child.
How old do Aussie children need to be to need a Cambodia visa?
There is no minimum age. A three-week-old baby travelling for the first time needs a Cambodia eVisa exactly the same way a 17-year-old or a 47-year-old does. Cambodian Immigration treats every passport as a separate visa case regardless of the age on it. The fee is the same $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist eVisa for infants, toddlers, children, and teens — no discount for age and no concession for family bookings.
Can I apply for my child's Cambodia eVisa together with mine?
Not as a single combined application — the eVisa portal does not have a multi-passenger mode, so each child runs as their own separate application. But you can submit them back-to-back in a single sitting on the laptop using the same email address, and the portal auto-fills the shared fields (arrival date, accommodation, return city) after the first one. Each subsequent child takes about five minutes once the first parent's application is done. All four approval PDFs come back to the same inbox on the same 3-business-day clock.
Do newborns need a Cambodia eVisa?
Yes — newborns absolutely need their own Cambodia eVisa, with no exceptions for age. A newborn must first have their own Australian passport (DFAT child-passport process — 3 weeks standard or 2 business days priority service), and then their own Cambodia eVisa is applied for against that passport number. Cambodian Immigration cannot issue a child's eVisa against a parent's passport — Australian children's names have not been addable to parent passports since 2003. The newborn also needs their own e-Arrival Card before the flight lands.
What's the photo spec for a baby's Cambodia eVisa?
Officially the same as an adult — 4×6 cm equivalent, plain white or off-white background, neutral expression, no smile, eyes open, no hats or coverings. In practice, Cambodian Immigration is genuinely lenient about the eyes-open and closed-mouth rules for infants and toddlers under two. Sleeping newborns, half-smiling babies, and toddlers with their mouth slightly open all get through routinely. The strict bit is the white background and the absence of anything covering the face (no dummies, no hands, no parent's shoulder). Phone photo on a white sheet, daylight from a window, burst of ten shots — usually one of them lands.
