Will I also pay foreign transaction fees on the e-Arrival Card?

The same rule applies. The e-Arrival Card is $5 USD verified through us, billed in dollars. Whether your card adds a foreign transaction fee to that $5 depends on your issuer — a no-fee card pays exactly $5, and a fee-charging card adds its usual percentage.

Is paying in USD the same as the merchant doing dynamic currency conversion?

No. Dynamic currency conversion is when a foreign merchant offers to bill you in your home currency at a marked-up exchange rate. Our eVisa is simply priced in US dollars from the start — there is no conversion happening at all, so there is no DCC markup. The only possible add-on is your own bank's foreign transaction fee, which is separate.

Does the Cambodia eVisa charge a foreign transaction fee for Americans?

The Cambodia eVisa price is billed in US dollars — $80 USD for the Tourist eVisa, $90 USD for the Business eVisa — so we never apply a currency conversion or an FX markup. Any foreign transaction fee you see on your statement is added by your own US card issuer, not by us, because the payment is processed outside the United States. That fee is usually about 3%, which works out to roughly $2.40 on an $80 charge. If your card has no foreign transaction fee, you pay exactly the USD price and nothing more.

要点总结

The Cambodia eVisa is billed in US dollars — Tourist $80 USD, Business $90 USD — so there is no currency conversion for you to work out at checkout.
A foreign transaction fee, if one appears, is charged by your own US card issuer, not added by us. It is typically about 3% of the charge.
Because the transaction is processed abroad, some US cards still apply their standard foreign transaction fee even though the amount is in USD.
A no-foreign-transaction-fee card, or paying with PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay tied to one, removes the markup entirely.
On an $80 USD Tourist eVisa a 3% fee is about $2.40; on a $90 USD Business eVisa it is about $2.70 — small, predictable, and avoidable.

The short answer: priced in USD, fee comes from your bank

Below we walk through exactly what the fee is, why a USD charge can still attract it, how to check your own card in two minutes, and how to skip the markup entirely. When you are ready, you can apply directly. For the full price picture, our Cambodia visa cost for Americans guide lays out every dollar in the all-in total.

What a foreign transaction fee actually is

Why a USD charge can still attract the fee

The eVisa is billed in USD, so you are never converting currency and never exposed to an exchange-rate spread on our checkout.
A foreign transaction fee, if your card charges one, is added by your issuer after the fact and shows as a separate line on your statement.
The fee is typically about 3% — roughly $2.40 on an $80 Tourist eVisa, roughly $2.70 on a $90 Business eVisa.
No-foreign-transaction-fee cards pay exactly the USD price. Many travel and premium cards fall in this bucket.
Whether the fee applies is set by your bank, in your cardholder terms — it is not something the merchant can switch on or off.

If your card does get declined rather than charged a fee, that is a different issue — usually a fraud hold your bank places on an unfamiliar international merchant. Our guide on a declined card for Americans walks through the quick fixes for that.

常见问题解答

Does the Cambodia eVisa charge a foreign transaction fee for Americans?

We do not. The Cambodia eVisa is billed in US dollars — $80 USD for the Tourist eVisa, $90 USD for the Business eVisa — with no currency conversion or FX markup on our side. Any foreign transaction fee you see is added by your own US card issuer because the payment is processed outside the United States. That fee is typically about 3%, or roughly $2.40 on an $80 charge, and a no-fee card avoids it entirely.

Is the Cambodia eVisa charged in USD or in local currency?

In US dollars. The price you approve at checkout is the price we charge — $80 USD for the Tourist eVisa, $90 USD for the Business eVisa. There is no conversion to Cambodian riel and no exchange-rate spread on our checkout, so you never have to work out a conversion yourself.

Why did I get a foreign transaction fee on a charge that was already in dollars?

Because the foreign transaction fee is tied to where the charge is processed, not the currency. The eVisa payment is acquired outside the United States, so a card that charges a foreign transaction fee applies it even though the amount is in USD. It shows as a separate line of roughly 3% on your statement and comes from your issuer, not from us.

How much is the foreign transaction fee on a Cambodia eVisa?

If your card charges one, it is typically about 3% of the transaction. On an $80 USD Tourist eVisa that is about $2.40; on a $90 USD Business eVisa it is about $2.70. Many US travel and premium cards have no foreign transaction fee at all, in which case you pay exactly the USD price and nothing extra.

How do I avoid the foreign transaction fee on the Cambodia eVisa?

Pay with a card that has no foreign transaction fee — many US travel and premium cards waive it. You can also pay with PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay linked to a no-fee card, which passes the charge through with no markup. Note that a wallet linked to a fee-charging card still attracts the fee, since the fee follows the underlying card.

Do debit cards charge a foreign transaction fee on the eVisa too?

Some do. A foreign transaction fee is set by the issuer, and many US debit cards apply roughly 3% on internationally processed charges just as credit cards can. Check your bank's account terms, or use a credit card or wallet that you have confirmed has no foreign transaction fee.
