Yes. Even though Philippine passport holders enjoy 30-day visa-free entry to Cambodia under the ASEAN exemption, every Filipino flying into Phnom Penh (KTI), Siem Reap (SAI), or Sihanoukville (KOS) must file the online Cambodia e-Arrival Card within 7 days before landing.

- Yes: Filipino citizens are visa-exempt for tourist visits up to 30 days in Cambodia, but every Filipino arriving by air still needs the Cambodia e-Arrival Card.
- The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is not a visa—it is the mandatory digital arrival, health, and customs declaration that replaced the three paper forms in 2024.
- You must submit the card within the 7 days before your flight lands at Techo International (KTI), Siem Reap Angkor (SAI), or Sihanoukville (KOS), and show its QR code at Immigration.
- In 2026, the form requires your departure date from Cambodia and your next destination; if you file with us and have not booked onward travel yet, our form lets you say "not booked yet" and we email you to add it later.
- If you are staying longer than 30 days or travelling for business, you can apply for the Cambodia eVisa online ($80 USD Tourist or $90 USD Business, approved in 3–5 days).
Why visa-free entry for Filipinos does not replace the Cambodia e-Arrival Card
Under the ASEAN reciprocal visa-exemption agreement, citizens of the Philippines holding an ordinary maroon Philippine passport can visit Cambodia without a tourist visa for up to 30 days per entry. Because no visa is required for a short holiday, many Filipino travellers arriving at Manila NAIA (MNL), Clark (CRK), or Cebu (CEB) assume they can simply show their passport and boarding pass and fly.
Since 2024, that is no longer the case. Cambodia replaced the paper immigration arrival card, health form, and customs declaration with the mandatory online Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA). Because the e-Arrival Card is an arrival declaration rather than a visa, the ASEAN visa exemption does not waive it. Every Filipino passenger flying into Cambodia must complete the e-Arrival Card within the 7 days before landing and present its QR code at Cambodian Immigration.
You can check the full ASEAN exemption details on our Cambodia visa page for Filipino citizens, or read our general guide to the Cambodia e-Arrival Card for visa-exempt travellers.
When and how Filipino travellers complete the Cambodia e-Arrival Card
Because Filipino tourists do not need a tourist visa for stays up to 30 days, the Cambodia e-Arrival Card is the single most important Cambodian document you must prepare before your flight—alongside your Philippine eTravel exit registration for departing Manila, Clark, or Cebu.
What if you are already travelling around Southeast Asia and have not finalised your onward ticket out of Cambodia yet? If you file with us and have not booked onward travel yet, our form lets you say “not booked yet” and we email you to add it later.
For a complete checklist of everything Filipino tourists need at NAIA check-in and on arrival in Cambodia, see our guide to Cambodia entry requirements for Filipino tourists in 2026.
How we file the Cambodia e-Arrival Card for Filipino travellers
Every traveller in a Filipino family, barkada, or tour group requires their own individual Cambodia e-Arrival Card tied to their own Philippine passport number. We file a card for every traveller in a party, babies included, because each one travels on their own passport.
