Cambodia eVisaeVisa
Apply now- Who it's for
- Tourists from any country that needs a visa for Cambodia, which covers most nationalities outside ASEAN.
- Duration and entries
- The eVisa allows a maximum stay of 30 days. It is a single-entry visa, so if you leave the country you will need a new visa to re-enter.
- Extensions
- The Cambodia tourist eVisa can generally be extended once for an additional 30 days through the General Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh. A tourist visa can't be converted into a business visa.
- Ports of entry
- The eVisa is accepted at Cambodia's international airports (Techo International in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap-Angkor, and Sihanoukville) and at selected land crossings, such as Bavet on the Vietnam border and Trapeang Kriel on the Laos border. Land crossings from Thailand, including Poipet, are currently closed, so check the latest status before planning an overland route.
- Delivery format
- You will receive your approved eVisa as a PDF document via email. You must print two physical copies: one to give to immigration officials upon arrival and one to surrender when you depart the country.

Cambodia Business eVisaeVisa
Apply now- Who it's for
- Travelers engaging in formal work or long-term business in Cambodia. If you are from a country like the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, or an EU member state, you are eligible to apply for the Business eVisa online. It is the correct choice if you plan to extend your stay for work, as the Tourist eVisa (Type T) cannot be converted to a Business extension.
- Permitted activities
- Business purposes such as attending meetings, exploring investment opportunities, or beginning employment. To work legally you must also apply for a separate work permit.
- Duration and entries
- The initial Business eVisa allows a stay of 30 days and is a single-entry visa. Unlike the tourist visa, the Business (Type E) visa can be a gateway to longer-term residency.
- Extensions
- The Business eVisa (Type E) can be extended for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months at the Department of Immigration. Extensions of 6 and 12 months typically allow for multiple entries.
- Ports of entry
- Accepted at Cambodia's international airports, Techo International in Phnom Penh (KTI), Siem Reap-Angkor (SAI), and Sihanoukville (KOS), and at selected land crossings such as Bavet (Vietnam border) and Trapeang Kriel (Laos border). Land crossings from Thailand, including Poipet and Cham Yeam, are currently closed.

Cambodia e-ArrivalArrival card
Apply now- Who it's for
- Every traveler arriving in Cambodia by air, including visa-exempt travelers (like ASEAN citizens) and those with an eVisa or Visa on Arrival. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own e-Arrival submission. Travelers arriving by land or sea currently fill in paper forms at the border instead.
- What it covers
- The e-Arrival Card covers immigration, customs, and health declarations, which are separate from your visa status. It is a single-entry record — you must complete a new registration every time you enter the country by air.
- When to apply
- The official window for submission is within 7 days before your arrival. Applying before you fly ensures a smoother entry than using the tablets in the arrival halls, which often results in long queues.
- Delivery format
- You will receive a confirmation QR code via email to present to the immigration officer at the airport. We recommend saving a screenshot to your phone for offline access.
- Validity
- 30 days
- Length of stay
- 30 days per entry

It worked but is designed to make you think you are on the official Cambodian visa application site that is almost identical except for the cost.
I’m not too happy as I applied for my Cambodia visa and my friends got their approval within about 4 days and mine is still pending and is due for approval after I fly into Cambodia. So not good
Very impressed with the service. Kept in communication all through out the process and was able to track the progress through a very easy one click link.

Cambodia visa FAQs
Quick answers for British citizens traveling to Cambodia.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Can UK citizens still get a Visa on Arrival, or is an eVisa mandatory?
Yes, UK passport holders can still obtain a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at major international airports and land border checkpoints. However, applying for an online eVisa in advance is highly recommended by authorities to bypass long queues at the border. Both options grant an initial stay of up to 30 days.
How can a UK citizen extend a Tourist Visa from within Cambodia?
A standard 30-day Tourist Visa (eVisa or VoA) can be extended only once for an additional 30 days. You must process this extension through the Department of Immigration in Phnom Penh or via a registered local travel agency before your initial 30 days expire. Once that total 60-day period ends, you must leave the country.
What's the difference between a Cambodia Tourist eVisa (Visa T) and a Cambodia Business eVisa (Ordinary Visa E)?
The Tourist eVisa (Visa T) is strictly for holiday travel and can only be extended once for 30 days. The Business eVisa (Ordinary Visa E) is for those planning to conduct business, look for work, or stay long-term. While both initially grant a 30-day stay, the Ordinary Visa can be extended within Cambodia for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months under specific sub-classes (like employment or retirement).
Does the mandatory Cambodia e-Arrival Card replace the need for a visa?
No. The Cambodia e-Arrival Card is an electronic entry declaration that replaces the old paper-based customs, health, and immigration slips. It's not a visa. All UK citizens must submit this free declaration form within 7 days before arrival, in addition to holding a valid eVisa or planning to get a Visa on Arrival.
What are the penalties if a UK citizen overstays their visa in Cambodia?
Overstaying any visa category in Cambodia results in a mandatory fine of $10 USD (£7.47 GBP) per day, which must be paid in cash at the airport or immigration office upon exit. If you overstay for more than 30 days, the penalties escalate drastically; you face potential arrest, legal detention, deportation at your own expense, and a multi-year blacklisting from re-entering the country.
