Why a Cambodia trip is one of the easier Aussie travel budgets
The companion first-trip planning checklist covers the sequencing, the month-by-month weather guide covers when to actually go, and the cost guide for Aussies in 2026 is the deeper read on the eVisa line item itself.
Pre-trip fixed costs (per Aussie traveller)
What the eVisa does not require: a return flight booking, a hotel reservation, a bank statement, or proof of insurance. The application is genuinely short. Our Australian application walkthrough covers each field, and the documents-required guide lists exactly what to have open in another tab.

常见问题解答
How much does a 10-day Cambodia trip cost for an Australian couple in 2026?
A mid-range 10-day Cambodia trip for an Aussie couple from Sydney or Melbourne typically lands at $3,500–$5,500 AUD all-in. That covers two return economy flights ($1,800–$2,800 AUD), two tourist eVisas at $80 USD (~$122 AUD) each, travel insurance, 9 nights at mid-tier hotels ($60–$100 AUD per night), three meals a day out, tuk-tuks, a 3-day Angkor pass, and a 10% buffer for tips and the unplanned. Backpacker tier comes in around $2,200–$3,000 AUD; luxury runs $7,000–$12,000 AUD.
How much cash should I bring to Cambodia from Australia?
About $200 USD (~$305 AUD) per person in clean undamaged notes covers your first 3 days comfortably — airport taxi, hotel deposit, dinners, drinks, and the $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) airport SIM card. Bring a mix of $10, $20, and a couple of $50 notes. Cambodia is a dual-currency economy: USD is the working tourist currency, and Riel comes back as change for amounts under $1 USD (~$1.50 AUD). ATMs at KTI/SAI/KOS dispense USD and charge $3–5 USD (~$4.50–$7.50 AUD) per withdrawal, so airport top-up is workable if you would rather not fly with cash.
What is the Cambodia eVisa fee for Australians in 2026?
The Cambodia tourist eVisa is $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in per person. The Business eVisa is $90 USD (~$137 AUD) per person and covers meetings, paid work, conferences, sales calls, supplier visits, due-diligence, long stays, and sponsored events. Both are Approved in 3 business days, Delivered as a printable PDF by email, valid 3 months from issue, single entry, 30-day stay. AUD shows at checkout so you do not have to convert anything yourself. Free resubmission if Immigration flags a correction.
How much does travel insurance cost for Cambodia from Australia?
For a 1-week comprehensive policy: under-50 travellers typically pay $80–$120 AUD, 50–64 year olds pay $150–$280 AUD, and over-65s pay $250–$400 AUD. Adventure-activity add-ons (motorbiking, scuba) add $20–$40 AUD. The major Aussie insurers — Cover-More, Allianz, Travel Insurance Direct, World Nomads — all cover Cambodia under their standard Southeast Asia tier. Buy the policy before you fly; insurance bought after departure is usually invalid for dates you have already left on.
How much do flights from Australia to Cambodia cost?
Return economy fares from Australia to Phnom Penh's KTI airport sit at $700–$1,400 AUD per person in 2026, almost always with one stop via Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Ho Chi Minh City. Perth runs cheapest ($700–$1,000 AUD), Brisbane next ($850–$1,150 AUD), then Sydney and Melbourne ($900–$1,400 AUD). December–January peak pushes the top of each range. Book 6–12 weeks out for the best fare; Tuesday or Wednesday departures are typically 10–20% cheaper than weekend flights.
