The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and 柬埔寨电子签证 for Cape Verdean citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Cape Verdean citizens
Cape Verdean (Cabo Verde) passport holders need a Cambodia visa for both tourism and business, and the electronic visa is the only practical route. Cambodia maintains no embassy or consulate in Cabo Verde, so the nearest paper alternative is the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Paris, France. Most travellers from Praia RAI or Sal connect via Lisbon on TAP Air Portugal before joining a Doha or Dubai onward leg to Phnom Penh PNH, with Dakar as an alternative West African hub. The Cambodia online visa removes the trans-Atlantic courier step entirely. Approval lands in 3 business days, and the QR code PDF is accepted at every major Cambodian entry point.
Cambodia tourist visa $80, Cambodia business visa $90 — both prices are all-inclusive. Upload your passport bio page and a photo, fill in a few details, and your electronic visa lands in your inbox before you fly.
What you don't need:
No embassy visit or appointment
No flight booking required before you apply
No hotel reservation needed
No bank statement or proof of funds
No paperwork beyond your passport and photo
Once approved, your eVisa allows a 30-day single entry stay within 3 months of the issue date. Need longer? Extend at any local immigration office in Cambodia before your 30 days run out.

Why you're going
Things to Do in Cambodia for Cape Verdean 旅客
Cape Verdean visitors typically anchor their trip around Siem Reap to tour Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm temples, often pairing the temple circuit with a Tonle Sap lake boat ride. Phnom Penh gives a parallel read of recent Cambodian history at the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. Cape Verdeans used to Atlantic island life tend to enjoy the coastal options at Sihanoukville and the islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, and the 90-day visa validity from issue makes a Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City extension easy inside the 30-day Type T stay window.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
The world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most iconic site. Most visitors base themselves in Siem Reap for 2–3 days to explore the temple complex at sunrise.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Phnom Penh
Cambodia's capital blends French colonial architecture with vibrant street markets, the Royal Palace, and sobering history at the Killing Fields and S-21 museum.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Koh Rong Islands
Some of Southeast Asia's last undeveloped beaches. Accessible by ferry from Sihanoukville — no internal flights or extra visas needed.
Tourist eVisa covers this
Kampot & Kep
A slow-paced riverside town famous for its pepper farms, French colonial buildings, and the freshwater crab market at Kep — a perfect 2-day escape from the cities.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
