Why the Business eVisa costs $10 more than the Tourist

The Tourist eVisa is $80 USD all-in. The Business eVisa is $90 USD all-in. The $10 difference is the most common thing Americans ask about, and the answer is refreshingly simple: you are not paying for a faster application, a different document, or extra hand-holding. Both visas use the identical online flow, the same passport and photo requirements, and the same 3-business-day approval. The $10 buys a capability that only the Business eVisa has — the ability to extend your stay once you are inside Cambodia.

The Tourist eVisa gives you a single 30-day stay and stops there. The auto-extension that used to soften that ended in November 2025, so a tourist who wants more than 30 days now has to leave and re-apply. The Business eVisa (Type-E) is the only Cambodia visa you can extend in-country: 1, 3, 6, or 12-month extensions, arranged through a Cambodian immigration agent after you arrive. That single difference is what the extra $10 reserves — the door to a long stay that the Tourist eVisa simply does not have.

So the decision is rarely about the $10. It is about whether your trip is pure leisure capped at 30 days, or whether you might want to stay longer, work, or return on the same visa structure. Our guide to who needs the Cambodia Business visa (Type-E) walks through exactly which travelers it is built for — and it is broader than "paid work."

No sponsor letter, no hidden document costs

Here is where the Cambodia Business eVisa quietly saves Americans real money compared with business visas elsewhere in the region. Many countries make you produce a sponsor letter, an employment contract, a company invitation, or a notarized statement of purpose before they will issue a business visa — and each of those carries a cost in time, courier fees, and sometimes notarization charges. Cambodia asks for none of it.

To apply for the Cambodia Business eVisa you need the same light document pack as the Tourist eVisa: a valid US passport, a passport-style photo, a scan of your passport bio page, an email address, and a payment method. No invitation from a Cambodian company. No proof of a registered business. No letter from your employer on letterhead. That means there is nothing to chase, notarize, translate, or pay a third party to prepare — so the $90 stays $90 rather than ballooning with side costs you only discover halfway through.

This trips up Americans who assume a "business" visa must require business paperwork. It does not. Our rundown of the Cambodia Business eVisa documents Americans actually need debunks the invitation-letter myth in full, so you do not waste a week — or a notary fee — gathering documents Cambodia never asks to see.

How you pay — currency, cards, and company expensing

The $90 is charged in US dollars. You do not have to convert from another currency, eyeball an exchange rate, or guess what your card will actually bill — the price you see at checkout is the price in USD, full stop. For a business trip that usually matters more than for a leisure one, because the charge often has to land cleanly on an expense report.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. That covers nearly every card an American business traveler carries, including most corporate cards. Because the amount is a clean $90 in USD, it reconciles neatly against an expense system — no mystery foreign-currency conversion line, no rounding drama when finance reviews it.

If you are putting the Business eVisa on a company card, our guide to paying for the Cambodia Business eVisa on a company card covers the practical bits — whose name goes on the application versus whose card pays, and how the receipt reads for reimbursement. And if a card gets declined at checkout, that is almost always a routine fraud-hold on an unfamiliar international merchant, not a problem with your application.

One thing the $90 does not include, and should not: your travel. Flights, hotels, ground transport, and anything you spend once you land are separate. The visa fee is just the visa fee. But unlike the visa fees in some neighboring countries, there is no departure-tax surprise bolted on at the airport and no second payment window after approval. You pay $90 once, and the Business eVisa is done.

The one cost that sits outside the $90: e-Arrival

There is exactly one mandatory cost that is not part of the $90 Business eVisa, and it applies to every air arrival regardless of visa type: the Cambodia e-Arrival Card. It is a separate digital form, not part of the visa, and it costs $20 USD verified through us. Fourteen fields, three short sections, submitted within 7 days before your flight. The Business eVisa proves you can enter; the e-Arrival Card is the arrival declaration the airport expects at the gate.

So the honest total for a single American business traveler in 2026 is $90 for the Business eVisa plus $20 for the e-Arrival Card — $110 all-in. That is the whole government-facing cost of getting yourself, work-ready, through Cambodian Immigration. There is nothing else to budget for the entry itself.

It is worth treating the e-Arrival Card as a deliberate second step rather than an afterthought, because a single mismatched date is the most common reason travelers get bounced back at the kiosk. Our walkthrough of the Cambodia e-Arrival Card for US citizens covers the timing and the fields that trip Americans up.

Putting the Business eVisa cost together

Here is the whole picture in one line: $90 USD all-in for the Cambodia Business eVisa, $20 USD for the mandatory e-Arrival Card, $110 total to get a work-ready American through the airport. The $90 is one flat price billed in US dollars, it buys a 3-business-day approval and a printable PDF, and the only reason it sits $10 above the Tourist eVisa is the in-country extension path. If you want to see how that stacks against the leisure route, the Tourist vs Business eVisa cost comparison runs the numbers side by side.
