Nigerian travellers apply for the Cambodia eVisa fully online from Lagos or Abuja — no trip to any embassy in Nigeria, just a pre-checked application that drops the typical rejection rate close to zero, with email delivery in 3 business days.
The complete picture of the Cambodia tourist visa and Cambodia e-Visa for Nigerian citizens: fees, processing time, requirements, and what actually happens at the border.
Cambodia eVisa for Nigerian citizens
Yes — Nigerian citizens need a visa for Cambodia. Every Nigerian passport holder must obtain either a Type T tourist electronic visa or a Type E business eVisa before flying, and the Cambodia online visa is the route the Ministry of Foreign Affairs processes most efficiently for applicants from Nigeria — the biggest West African source market for Cambodia. Nigerian applications attract additional scrutiny under Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs procedures, which is why we pre-check every form against MFA criteria before submission.
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.
We pre-vet every Nigerian application against Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criteria to keep the rejection rate near zero. Nigerian travellers should carry a confirmed onward or return ticket; spot checks happen on arrival.
Tip for Nigerian travellers: Apply at least 10-14 days before flying from Lagos LOS or Abuja ABV — long-haul connections through Addis Ababa, Doha, Dubai or Istanbul to Phnom Penh leave little time to re-upload a photo if the Ministry flags it for sharpness or background.
From application to email
How Nigerian Citizens Apply for a Cambodia eVisa
The Cambodia online visa application takes 4 simple steps — form to inbox in 3 business days. Our team handles everything between paying and printing your approved electronic visa.
Fill your application
Enter Nigerian passport details exactly as on the biographical page — Cambodian Ministry systems are strict on long-form Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa names, so match the English spelling on your passport letter-for-letter.
01
Pay securely
Upload a sharp recent colour photo on a white background (4x6 cm) — low-resolution scans of older Nigerian passport photos and group-photo crops are the top reason Lagos and Abuja applications get held up at Ministry review.
02
Expert review & submit
Pay the all-inclusive $80 USD tourist or $90 USD business fee by card — your statement will show the equivalent in NGN at checkout because Stripe handles the FX conversion at the live rate.
03
eVisa delivered to your email
Approval lands in your inbox in 3 business days as a printable PDF with QR code — print two copies before boarding at Lagos Murtala Muhammed because Nigerian travellers are routinely asked to show the printed visa at the airline desk.

Tourist or Business eVisa: Which Should Nigerian Travellers Choose?
Pick the Cambodia eVisa type that matches your travel purpose. Choosing wrong can result in entry denial or fines under Cambodian immigration law.
Tourist eVisa
For leisure travel, family visits and short stays.
The Tourist eVisa is the right choice for most Nigerian travellers visiting Cambodia. It covers sightseeing in Siem Reap, beach time in the Koh Rong islands, visiting Angkor Wat, and staying with family or friends — anything that isn't paid work or formal business activity.
Best for: tourism, leisure, visiting family or friends, short cultural trips
Allows: hotel stays, sightseeing, beach travel, river cruises
Does NOT allow: paid work, formal business meetings, signing deals
Apply: 100% online in 10 minutes — no embassy visit needed
All-inclusive pricing — government processing fee, expert review, photo optimisation, and e-Arrival guidance bundled in. No surprises at the border.
Nigerian leisure travellers typically pick the Type T tourist eVisa at $80 USD for Angkor Wat and Siem Reap holidays, often combined with religious tourism curiosity — Cambodian Theravada Buddhism draws growing Nigerian interest. Demand for the Type E business visa at $90 USD is rising fast among Nigerian professionals working on ASEAN-West Africa oil and gas deals, fintech conferences and education-sector partnerships in Phnom Penh.
Important: Using a Tourist visa for business activities (meetings, deals, employment) violates Cambodian immigration law and may result in deportation or future entry bans. When in doubt, choose Business.

Smart choice
Cambodia eVisa vs Visa on Arrival for Nigerian Citizens
Both options exist for Nigerian travellers. The Cambodia e-Visa beats the Cambodia Visa on Arrival on every dimension that matters — price predictability, queue time, and pre-approval before you fly.
Nigerian travellers tend to anchor their Cambodia trip around 4-5 days in Siem Reap with sunrise temple tours at Angkor Wat plus an Apsara dance dinner, before heading to Phnom Penh for the Royal Palace, Tuol Sleng and Wat Phnom. Nigerian families increasingly add a beach extension to Sihanoukville or Koh Rong inside the 30-day Type T allowance, while business travellers pair Phnom Penh meetings with a Mekong River day-tour.
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.
Getting around
Tuk-tuks are everywhere — agree the fare first. The PassApp and Grab apps give metered, cashless rides in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Domestic flights link the major cities.

Everything left to know before you apply for your Cambodia tourist visa or Cambodia e-Visa. If your question isn't here, our team replies via WhatsApp or email within minutes.
Do Nigerian citizens need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes — Nigerian passport holders need a Cambodia tourist or business visa for any stay. The Cambodia electronic visa is the standard route, approved by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 3 business days without a visit to any embassy in Lagos or Abuja.
Is there a Cambodian embassy in Nigeria?
No — Cambodia maintains no embassy or consulate in Nigeria. The nearest Cambodian mission for paper applications is the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Cairo, Egypt, roughly 3,400 km from Abuja, or in Paris, France. The Cambodia online visa avoids any need to courier passports across continents.
How much is the Cambodia eVisa for Nigerian citizens?
Our service charges $80 USD for the Type T tourist eVisa and $90 USD for the Type E business eVisa. The Cambodian government fee alone is $30 USD; the balance covers Ministry of Foreign Affairs submission, error-check and email delivery as a printable PDF with QR code. Your card statement will show the equivalent in NGN at checkout.
Why are Cambodia visa rejections more common for Nigerian passport holders?
Nigerian applications attract additional scrutiny under Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs procedures, especially around incomplete photos, low-resolution passport scans and unclear travel history. We pre-check every Nigerian application against MFA criteria before submission to keep the failure rate close to zero.
How long does Cambodia eVisa processing take for Nigerians?
Standard processing is 3 business days for Nigerian applicants. Travellers flying from Lagos Murtala Muhammed via Addis Ababa, Doha, Dubai or Istanbul to Phnom Penh should apply at least one to two weeks before departure for safe buffer time.
Can Nigerian business travellers use the Type E visa?
Yes — the Type E business eVisa at $90 USD suits Nigerian professionals visiting Phnom Penh trade partners, oil and gas meetings, fintech conferences or ASEAN-West Africa investment forums. Type E can be extended indefinitely inside Cambodia, useful for longer regional projects.
Do Nigerians need a return ticket for Cambodia?
Yes — Cambodian immigration is stricter with Nigerian passport holders and may request a printed onward or return ticket at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airports. The eVisa application itself does not require it, but carry the ticket for airport scrutiny.
What documents do Nigerian citizens need for the Cambodia online visa?
A Nigerian passport valid 6 months beyond entry with at least 2 blank pages, a colour passport-style photo on white background (4x6 cm), a payment card for the $80 USD tourist fee and onward travel proof for airport scrutiny. No hotel booking or embassy interview is required for the eVisa application.
