Đăng ký ngayHow Costa Rican Citizens Apply for a Cambodia eVisa
The Cambodia online visa application is fast, secure, and 100% online — from form to inbox in 3 business days.
Step 1
Fill your application
Enter your Costa Rican passport details exactly as printed on the biographical page — Spanish accents (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) must match the MRZ Latin transliteration on the chip, so use the unaccented version printed in the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the bio page.
Step 2
Pay securely
Upload a recent colour passport-style photo on a white background; older Costa Rican cédula portraits and selfies cropped from holiday photos are the top reason Costa Rican applications stall at Ministry of Foreign Affairs review.
Step 3
Receive your eVisa
Approval lands in your inbox in 3 business days as a PDF with QR code — print two copies before leaving San José, one for the United or Avianca gate agent at SJO and one for the immigration officer at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap-Angkor International.

Things to Do in Cambodia for Costa Rican Khách du lịch
Costa Ricans steeped in pura vida and Monteverde cloud forests find a natural rhythm at Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains and Mondulkiri jungle highlands after the temple circuit at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. Costa Rican couples typically anchor 3-4 days in Siem Reap for sunrise temple tours, then float down to Phnom Penh and finish on the Koh Rong island chain — an eco-temples-beach arc that fits easily inside the 30-day Type T allowance and echoes the Pacific-to-Caribbean traverse familiar from home.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Cambodia Travel Tips for Costa Rican Công dân
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
Visa Requirements for Other Southeast Asia Countries
Many travellers combine Cambodia with nearby Southeast Asia destinations. Tap a country to see entry requirements for your passport — pre-filtered to your nationality.
Cambodia Visa FAQ for Costa Rican Công dân
Everything left to know before you apply for your Cambodia tourist visa or Cambodia e-Visa. If your question isn't here, our team replies via WhatsApp or email within minutes.
Do Costa Rican citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — Costa Rican passport holders need a Type T tourist visa or Type E business visa for any stay. The Cambodia electronic visa is approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days and is the only practical route from San José since Cambodia has no embassy in Costa Rica.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Costa Rica?
No — Cambodia maintains no embassy or consulate in Costa Rica. The nearest Cambodian mission for paper visa applications is the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Washington DC, which is why the Cambodia online visa is the standard route for Costa Rican citizens.
Do Costa Ricans need a yellow fever vaccination certificate for Cambodia?
No — Costa Rica is not on Cambodia's yellow fever transmission risk list, so Costa Rican passport holders do not need to present a vaccination certificate at Phnom Penh airport. This contrasts with travellers from Brazil, Colombia and Panama who are required to carry one.
