The Cambodia eVisa is priced in USD — $80 Tourist, $90 Business — but checkout shows the live AUD equivalent (~$122 / ~$137) at the June 2026 rate of about 0.655. Here is exactly how the conversion works, which Aussie cards avoid the FX fee, and how USD and Cambodian Riel sit alongside each other once you arrive.

Tourist eVisa is $80 USD ≈ $122 AUD as of June 2026 at an exchange rate around 0.655 AUD per USD. Business eVisa is $90 USD ≈ $137 AUD. Verified e-Arrival is $5 USD ≈ $7.50 AUD. We charge in USD and your bank converts at the day rate — checkout shows BOTH the USD amount and the AUD equivalent, so you see exactly what your card will be charged. No mental math needed. The Reserve Bank of Australia publishes the daily AUD/USD reference rate; checkout uses an interbank-style rate, not the airport-counter retail rate.
This article is the full breakdown. The USD-to-AUD math at the current June 2026 rate, the named Aussie cards that waive the FX fee, the small but real spread between the RBA reference and your bank, and how Cambodian Riel works alongside USD once you arrive. If you want the wider price context first, the Cambodia visa cost guide for Australians has the line-by-line. If you have already paid and your bank charged something odd, the payment troubleshooting guide covers it.
The numbers are deliberately quoted with a "~" rather than to the cent because the live AUD figure on the day you pay is whatever the rate is at that exact moment. Our checkout pulls a refreshed rate before showing you the order summary, and the figure on your statement matches that quote within a cent or two for the AUD-converted base. Anything beyond that gap is your bank's FX fee, which we cover in section two. The Cambodia visa cost guide for Australians has the wider all-in price picture if you want the upstream context.

For everything else — standard Aussie credit cards from the big four, AmEx personal and corporate products, and a few of the older rewards cards — assume a 1.5% to 3% FX fee will show up as a separate line on your statement. We cannot waive that. It is between you and your bank. The payment troubleshooting guide covers the wider Aussie payment picture, including which decline reasons are most common and how to fix them inside five minutes.

Your bank does not use the RBA reference rate directly for retail FX. Banks use a wholesale interbank rate (refreshed throughout the day) and add a small margin on top — usually a few tenths of a percent for online card transactions. That margin is separate from the explicit FX fee. The combined effect is that your statement amount might be a cent or two different from the live checkout quote, even before the FX fee. For a $122 AUD transaction the spread is rounding-error territory. For a $1,220 AUD transaction it would start to matter. The full Reserve Bank of Australia exchange rates series is published online if you want to verify any specific day.

Where the Riel actually earns its keep is for small change. Anything under a US dollar is settled in Riel — change from a $5 USD coffee will come back as USD bills plus a 2,000 KHR note or two. Tuk-tuks for short rides, market stalls, street food, bottled water from a roadside vendor, small temple-area donations — all of this is easier in Riel than trying to break a $20 USD bill. The Smartraveller Cambodia advisory has the wider Aussie traveller context if you want a final scan before you fly.

In country, run USD for anything over $5 and Riel for anything under. Pay hotels and tours in USD by card where possible (most major hotels accept Visa and Mastercard without surcharge), keep $50-100 USD cash on you for tuk-tuks and meals, and refresh the Riel pile every few days from an ATM. By the end of the trip you will have a small stash of leftover Riel, which is fine to leave as a tip or donate at the airport — Cambodian Riel does not convert back well outside Cambodia, so do not bring more than a few notes home.

If you are still deciding which visa product to apply for, the Australian application walkthrough has the field-by-field breakdown for both Tourist and Business eVisa forms, and the Do Australians Need a Visa for Cambodia explainer covers eligibility for dual citizens and permanent residents. For first-timers, the Australia country pillar is the place to start.
The Cambodia eVisa from Australia in 2026 is $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist or $90 USD (~$137 AUD) Business at the current rate of about 0.655 AUD per USD. Checkout shows both numbers side-by-side. Bank FX fees add 1.5-3% on top unless you use a no-FX-fee card. The RBA reference rate is the right anchor to sense-check the conversion, not an airport counter. Inside Cambodia, USD does the heavy lifting and Riel handles the small stuff. None of this is harder than it sounds. Start the Cambodia eVisa application whenever you are ready.
