Paying for a Cambodia Business eVisa on a Company Card (US Guide)

The short answer: yes, a company card works

Yes — you can pay for the Cambodia Business eVisa with a company card. The $90 USD fee goes through on a corporate Visa, Mastercard, or American Express the same way any other online business expense does, and there is no rule that the card has to belong to the person traveling. If your assistant books your trips, if your travel desk handles visas centrally, or if you are simply expensing it after the fact, the company-card path is built to work.

This question comes up constantly on the Business & Long-Stay desk, because corporate travel has rules that a leisure trip does not. Finance wants a clean receipt. The charge has to land in a currency the expense system understands. And the name on the visa is the traveler, while the name on the card might be a company or a coworker entirely. The good news is that none of those are obstacles here — they are just details, and the rest of this guide walks through each one so the payment goes through on the first try and reconciles without a follow-up from accounts payable.

If you have not settled on the Business eVisa yet, our breakdown of the Cambodia Business eVisa cost for Americans explains the $90 all-in figure and why it sits $10 above the Tourist eVisa. When you already know it is the right visa and the card is in hand, you can apply now — most American business travelers finish the form in under ten minutes.

The cardholder does not have to be the traveler

This is the single most useful fact for corporate travel, so it leads: the name on the payment card does not have to match the name on the eVisa application. The visa is issued to the traveler — their passport, their photo, their bio-page details — but the payment is just a payment. A company card, an executive assistant’s card, a travel coordinator’s card, or a shared corporate purchasing card can all settle the $90 fee on the traveler’s behalf.

That separation matters because of how corporate travel actually runs. A sales director flying to Phnom Penh might never touch the application — their assistant fills in the passport details and pays on the department card. A consultant on a client engagement might apply themselves but bill it to a project card the client provided. A travel desk might process visas for a whole team in one afternoon on a single central card. The Cambodia Business eVisa system does not care which of those it is. The application captures who is entering Cambodia; the checkout captures who is paying. They are deliberately independent.

What does have to match is the traveler’s identity to their passport — the name, number, and details on the application must mirror the passport bio page exactly, because that is what Cambodian Immigration reads at the gate. The payment field has no such constraint. If you want the full field-by-field view of who enters what, our Business eVisa application walkthrough for US citizens covers every box, including which fields are identity and which are billing.

Which corporate cards work at checkout

Nearly every card a US company issues will work. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, plus PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Between those, the vast majority of corporate card programs — bank-issued corporate Visa and Mastercard, the American Express Corporate and Business cards that dominate US travel spend, and virtual card numbers generated by a travel-management platform — go through cleanly at the $90 checkout.

• Corporate Visa and Mastercard — the standard bank-issued business cards most US companies carry; both are accepted directly.
• American Express Corporate and Business cards — widely used for US corporate travel and fully accepted at checkout.
• Virtual card numbers — single-use or capped corporate card numbers from a travel platform work like any Visa or Mastercard.
• PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — useful when a corporate card is loaded into a digital wallet rather than carried physically.

The most common snag is not the card type — it is a fraud hold. A corporate card that rarely sees a foreign online merchant can get a routine block the first time it hits an international visa checkout. That is a bank behavior, not an application problem, and it clears in minutes once the cardholder approves the charge. Our guide to Cambodia eVisa payment methods for Americans covers the accepted cards in full, and if a charge bounces, it is almost always this and not your application.

Why USD billing keeps finance happy

The $90 Business eVisa fee is charged in US dollars. For a company card, that is the detail that prevents a back-and-forth with finance. The charge that posts to the corporate statement is a clean $90 USD line — not a foreign-currency amount that a bank converts at an unpredictable rate and then surrounds with a conversion fee the traveler has to explain on the expense report.

Compare that to the way some regional visa fees hit a US corporate card: billed in the local currency, converted by the issuing bank at whatever rate applied that day, then padded with a foreign-transaction fee. The traveler ends up reconciling a $91.37 charge against a $90 visa and writing a note to explain the difference. Here the amount you see is the amount that posts — $90 — so the expense line matches the visa fee to the cent, and nobody in accounts payable has to ask why.

Most US corporate cards still levy their own foreign-transaction fee on any non-domestic merchant regardless of the billing currency, so check your card’s terms if a flat reconciliation matters to your finance team. That small percentage applies at the card level, separate from the visa fee, and shows up as its own line on the statement rather than changing the $90 charge itself.

The receipt and getting reimbursed

A business traveler needs more than an approved visa — they need a receipt that finance will accept. When your Cambodia Business eVisa is approved, the printable PDF arrives by email, and a payment receipt comes with it. The receipt shows the $90 USD amount, the date of the charge, and the visa it paid for, which is the documentation an expense system expects for a reimbursable travel cost.

For expensing, that single $90 line is the whole story. There is no separate "service fee," no add-on receipt to chase, and no second charge after approval to reconcile against. The traveler — or the assistant who paid — files one receipt for one amount, categorized under travel or visa fees depending on the company’s expense taxonomy. Because the eVisa is delivered as a PDF, the receipt and the visa itself can be attached to the same expense entry, which is exactly how finance teams prefer to see a visa cost documented.

If your company is strict about receipt formatting, it is worth keeping both the payment receipt and the approved eVisa PDF together from the start. Our guide to the Cambodia eVisa receipt and expense report for Americans covers what the receipt shows, how to categorize the charge, and how to handle a reimbursement when the cardholder and the traveler are different people.

Paying for a team, plus the separate e-Arrival cost

When you are sending more than one person — a project team, a conference group, a delegation visiting a Cambodian supplier — one company card can pay for all of them. Each traveler still needs their own Business eVisa under their own passport, with their own photo and bio-page scan, because the visa is per person and there is no group or family discount. But the payments can all settle on the same card, which keeps the corporate travel spend in one place and one statement line item per traveler at $90 each.

There is one cost that sits outside the $90 and applies to every air arrival regardless of visa type: the Cambodia e-Arrival Card. It is a separate digital form — 14 fields, three short sections — submitted within 7 days before the flight, and it is $5 USD verified through us. It can go on the same company card as the visa, so for a single traveler the full corporate-facing entry cost is $95: $90 for the Business eVisa plus $5 for the e-Arrival Card. For a team, multiply by head count.

The e-Arrival Card is easy to leave until the airport and then regret, because a single mismatched date is the most common reason a traveler gets bounced back at the kiosk. Our walkthrough of the Cambodia e-Arrival Card for US citizens covers the 7-day timing and the fields that trip Americans up, so the arrival step is as clean as the payment.

Putting the company-card payment together

Here is the whole picture in one line: the $90 USD Cambodia Business eVisa goes on a company card without the cardholder having to be the traveler, bills as one clean US-dollar charge, and comes with a receipt built for an expense report. Add the $5 USD e-Arrival Card and the full corporate entry cost is $95 per person.

If you are still deciding whether the Type-E is even the right visa for the trip — versus the Tourist eVisa — our explainer on who needs the Cambodia Business visa (Type-E) walks through which travelers it is built for. For most American professionals heading to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap on company business, it is the one to apply for, and you can start the form whenever the traveler’s passport and a photo are in front of you.
