Cambodia Visa for Families & Children FAQ
Every traveller — adult, child, or infant — needs their own Cambodia eVisa. Same $80 tourist fee. Children cannot travel on a parent's visa. Here is everything family travellers ask about Cambodia visas.
Do children need a Cambodia visa?
Yes. Every traveller, including infants and minors, needs their own Cambodia eVisa. Children cannot enter on a parent's visa. The tourist eVisa is the same $80 for children as for adults.
Do babies and infants need a Cambodia eVisa?
Yes — infants from age 0 need their own Cambodia eVisa at the same $80 fee. The application requires the infant's passport bio page and a photo. Newborn-style photos are accepted as long as the face is visible.
Can I apply for my whole family at once?
Yes — you can submit multiple Cambodia eVisa applications in one session, paying for them all together. Each applicant needs their own passport scan and photo. We process them in parallel for the same 3-business-day window.
Are children's Cambodia visa photos different from adults?
Same specs: plain white background, face clearly visible, no hats or sunglasses. For infants, lay them on a plain white sheet and photograph from above with eyes open if possible. Mouth-open and slightly closed eyes are typically accepted.
Do my children need their own e-Arrival form for Cambodia?
Yes. Every traveller, including infants, needs their own e-Arrival submission. Parents complete the form on behalf of minors. Each child gets their own confirmation QR code to present at the border.
Some countries still list children on a parent's passport — these children CANNOT use the Cambodia eVisa. Every child needs their own passport. Renew the child's passport individually before applying.
Do I need a letter of consent to travel with my child to Cambodia?
Cambodian immigration does not require it, but airlines and origin countries may. A notarised letter from the non-travelling parent is sensible for single-parent travel. Bring it as a backup, especially for divorced or separated parents.
Are there family discounts on Cambodia eVisas?
No. Cambodian government fees are fixed at $80 (tourist) / $90 (business) per traveller regardless of age or family size. We do not add a per-child surcharge — the all-inclusive price is the same as for a single adult.
Can a grandparent apply for a Cambodia eVisa for a grandchild?
Yes — any responsible adult can complete the application on behalf of a minor as long as the passport details and photo match the actual child traveller. Travel documentation (consent letters) is a separate matter at the airline check-in.
Do students need a special Cambodia visa for a school trip?
Tourist eVisas (Type T) cover most school trips, cultural exchanges, and educational tours of under 30 days. For longer study programmes, the Type E business eVisa is used and extended into Type ES (student) inside Cambodia.
Do my children's passports need to be valid 6 months too?
Yes. The 6-month passport validity rule applies to every traveller regardless of age. Children's passports often have only 5-year validity periods — double-check expiry dates well before booking and applying.
Yes — your adopted child travels on their own passport (yours or your country's) and applies for their own Cambodia eVisa like any other minor. Carry the adoption decree and passport to clear any questions at airlines or borders.
What if my child's name on the passport differs from mine?
Common with married couples where the child uses one parent's surname. Bring the birth certificate as backup at the airport — airlines occasionally ask. Cambodian immigration almost never asks for proof of parent-child relationship.
Is there a maximum age for Cambodia eVisa applicants?
No upper age limit. Seniors apply on the same Type T or Type E eVisa as everyone else. Retirees moving to Cambodia typically enter on Type E and extend into Type ER (Retirement) for over-55s once inside.
Can grandchildren join me on a Cambodia eVisa?
No — every traveller, regardless of relationship, needs their own Cambodia eVisa. There is no "family eVisa" category. Apply individually for each grandchild and pay $80 per child.
