Cambodia eArrival card: What Vietnamese travelers must know

Planning a trip from Vietnam to Cambodia? While Vietnamese passport holders do not require a visa for stays up to 30 days, there's one crucial requirement travelers often overlook: the Cambodia eArrival.

Avoid unexpected issues by reading our clear guide on the Cambodia eArrival process for Vietnamese citizens.

Do Vietnamese citizens need a Cambodia eArrival?

Yes, all Vietnamese travelers must complete a Cambodia eArrival.

This electronic arrival form is not a visa, but it's a mandatory immigration document required for entering Cambodia, whether arriving by air or crossing a land border.

It replaces the traditional paper immigration form provided during flights or at border crossings.

Do Vietnamese citizens need a visa for Cambodia?

Good news: Vietnamese passport holders can visit Cambodia visa-free for tourism purposes up to 30 days.

However, for business trips or stays longer than 30 days, a Cambodian Business Visa or embassy visa is required in advance.

Requirements for the Cambodia eArrival

Applying for the Cambodia eArrival is straightforward. You'll need:

✔️ A Vietnamese passport valid for at least 6 months

✔️ Basic personal information

✔️ Travel itinerary and accommodation details

How to apply for Cambodia eArrival

Vietnamese citizens can apply for the Cambodia eArrival easily online via the official Cambodian government website, reliable platforms such as iVisa, or the iVisa mobile app.

Why choose iVisa for your Cambodian eArrival registration?

"Completing the eArrival form on the official website took so long. They required numerous unnecessary details that wasted my time." - Linh, Ho Chi Minh City

The process through iVisa usually takes just a few minutes, with immediate or very quick approval.

Do I need to print the Cambodia eArrival?

After approval, you'll receive a QR code for immigration scanning. Although printing isn't mandatory, having a printed copy is strongly recommended.

💡 Expert tip from Femke Strietman, iVisa:

"Even though digital copies are allowed, it's safer to carry a printed version in case of connectivity or battery issues."

Other entry requirements for Vietnamese citizens

Besides the Cambodia eArrival, Vietnamese travelers should also consider:

✅ Border crossing: Cambodia eArrival is mandatory for both air and land border entries.

✅ Passport pages: Your passport should have sufficient blank pages for entry and exit stamps.

✅ Accommodation details: Immigration officers may request hotel booking confirmations or your Cambodian address.
