Can I use a personal email for a business trip application?

Yes, and you should. The approved Business eVisa is delivered as a PDF, and many corporate mail systems quarantine or strip PDF attachments from unfamiliar senders, so the approval can land in a security hold you never see. Use a personal Gmail or Outlook address on the application, then forward the PDF to wherever you need it. That avoids the most frustrating delivery problem business travelers hit on the morning they are trying to print.

I am a US green-card holder on a foreign passport — which passport do I use?

You apply on the passport you hold, not on your US residency. The Cambodian eVisa system reads nationality from the passport, and your green card has no bearing on it — your eligibility, fee, and processing follow the passport. The document pack is the same five items, and the $90 Business eVisa fee is identical regardless of which passport you apply on.

Điều gì sẽ xảy ra nếu ảnh hoặc bản quét hộ chiếu của tôi bị gắn cờ?

You get an email with a clear list of what to re-upload — usually a fresh photo against a white wall, or a passport scan without glare. There is no extra charge to fix a flagged Business eVisa: free resubmission is part of the $90 all-in price. Reply quickly and the 3-business-day clock keeps running, so a single retake rarely costs you a delay.

What documents do Americans need for the Cambodia Business eVisa?

Five things — the same pack as the Tourist eVisa: a US passport with at least 6 months validity and one blank page, a recent passport-style photo (white background, no glasses, no smile), a clear scan of your passport bio page, a working email address, and a payment method. That is the whole list. You do NOT need an invitation letter, a sponsor, an employment contract, proof of a registered company, or any business paperwork. The Business eVisa (Type-E) costs $90 USD all-in, is approved in 3 business days, and arrives as a printable PDF. The only separate cost is the mandatory e-Arrival Card at $5 USD.

Những điểm chính cần ghi nhớ

The Cambodia Business eVisa (Type-E) needs the same five items as the Tourist eVisa — a US passport, a passport-style photo, a passport bio-page scan, an email address, and a payment method.
There is no invitation letter, sponsor proof, employment contract, or company registration required to apply — the word "business" in the name does not add a document.
Your US passport needs at least 6 months validity from your date of entry, plus one full blank page for the entry stamp.
Photo specs are strict: white background, recent, no glasses, no smile, JPEG under 2 MB — and a flagged photo is the single most common reason a Business eVisa loses a day.

Why the Business eVisa list is shorter than you expect

This guide walks through the full five-item list, the photo specs that cause most of the avoidable delays, the invitation-letter myth that wastes a week, and the separate e-Arrival step that runs alongside the visa. When you are ready, you can apply now — most Americans finish the upload step in under ten minutes. Our wider Cambodia eVisa documents guide for Americans covers the leisure version of this exact checklist.

Passport requirements for US citizens

Photo specs — the most common delay

The remaining three items are quick. A clear scan or photo of your US passport bio page — both edges visible, no glare on the laminate, all the machine-readable text legible. A working email address, ideally a personal Gmail or Outlook account (corporate inboxes that strip PDF attachments are a common trap, since the approval letter is a PDF — more on that below). And a valid payment method — we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Step through the full sequence in our Business eVisa application walkthrough for US citizens if you want to see exactly what each form field looks like.

No invitation letter, no sponsor, no business paperwork

No invitation letter from a Cambodian company. Immigration does not ask who you are visiting or whether anyone in Cambodia is expecting you.
No sponsor or proof of a registered entity. You do not need a local business to vouch for you, and you do not attach any company registration document.
No employment contract or letter on letterhead. Your employer back home is never named on the Business eVisa application.
No notarized statement of purpose. There is nothing to get notarized, translated, or couriered — so no notary or courier cost gets layered on top of the fee.
No return flight, hotel booking, bank statement, or itinerary. The same things the Tourist eVisa skips, the Business eVisa skips too.
No proof of funds or minimum balance. Cambodia does not ask a Business eVisa applicant to show money in an account.

The reason all of that is missing is the same as for the Tourist eVisa: Cambodian Immigration treats the visa-fee transaction itself as the commitment, and collects the bigger arrival picture separately through the e-Arrival Card in the week before you fly. So when a checklist somewhere online tells you to prepare an invitation letter for a Cambodia Business eVisa, it is describing a different country or an out-of-date process.

Câu hỏi thường gặp

What documents do Americans need for the Cambodia Business eVisa?

Five things — the same pack as the Tourist eVisa: a US passport with at least 6 months validity from your date of entry and one full blank page; a recent passport-style photo (white background, no glasses, no smile); a clear scan of your passport bio page; a working email address that accepts PDF attachments; and a payment method — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. You do NOT need an invitation letter, sponsor, employment contract, or any business paperwork.

Do I need an invitation letter for the Cambodia Business eVisa?

No. This is the biggest misconception about the Type-E. Cambodia does not require an invitation letter from a Cambodian company, a sponsor, an employment contract, or proof of a registered business to apply for the Business eVisa. The application asks for identity and payment only — exactly like the Tourist eVisa. There is nothing to notarize, translate, or courier, so no document costs get layered on top of the $90 fee.

Are the Business eVisa documents different from the Tourist eVisa?

No — they are identical. The Cambodia Business eVisa (Type-E) needs the exact same five items as the Tourist eVisa: a US passport, a passport-style photo, a passport bio-page scan, an email address, and a payment method. The Business eVisa costs $10 more ($90 versus $80), but that buys the in-country extension path, not an extra document. Same form, same photo specs, same 3-business-day approval.

How long must my US passport be valid for the Cambodia Business eVisa?

At least 6 months from your planned date of entry into Cambodia, plus one full blank page for the entry stamp. If your passport expires in October 2026 and you arrive in July, you are fine. If it expires in September and you arrive in July, the airline will deny boarding at the US gate. Routine US passport renewals currently take several weeks, so check the expiry date as soon as you book.

What are the Cambodia Business eVisa photo requirements?

A recent (last 6 months) passport-style photo against a plain white or off-white background. Face fully visible, head centered, neutral expression — no smile, no glasses, no hats. JPEG file under 2 MB, ideally 600×600 pixels or larger. The most common auto-flags are smiles, glasses of any kind, off-white walls, shadows behind the head, and resolution below 600 pixels. A phone photo against a white wall works for most American applicants.
