The Cambodia eVisa wins for almost every traveller. You apply online before you fly, you have your approval in your inbox, and you skip the cash-only queue at the border. Visa on Arrival still exists, but the eVisa is faster, calmer, and easier to recover from if something goes wrong.

The eVisa is $80 USD all-inclusive. Visa on Arrival quotes a lower headline figure in USD but adds cash-handling friction, photo fees at the counter, and the cost of any failed attempt — typically landing close to or above the eVisa total once everything is counted.
Visa on Arrival is offered at the three international airports (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville) and major land borders with Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. The eVisa is accepted at the same airports plus the busiest land crossings. Confirm your specific checkpoint before travelling.
The eVisa is faster at the airport — you walk straight to the immigration desk with a printed or digital approval. Visa on Arrival means a separate queue for the visa counter first, then the immigration queue, which can add 30–60 minutes during peak arrivals.
Denials are rare and our team contacts you to fix the issue or arrange a full refund of the processing fee before you travel. A Visa on Arrival denial happens at the border with no recovery path — you fly home.
Yes. Both the eVisa and Visa on Arrival grant a single-entry tourist stay of up to 30 days. If you need 90 days or multiple entries, you need a different visa class altogether — start with our eligibility checker.
Technically yes if you have Wi-Fi, but the approval still needs hours to come through. If you are already at the border, Visa on Arrival is the practical choice. Plan the eVisa at least 3 days before departure.
