Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Cambodia eVisa online application

The standard processing time for a Cambodia eVisa is 3 business days. However, many applications are approved sooner, sometimes within 24 hours. Processing times do not include weekends or public holidays. For travelers with urgent departure dates, expedited processing options are available that can deliver your eVisa in as little as 24-48 hours for an additional fee. It's recommended to apply at least one week before your travel date to avoid any potential delays.

Yes, if you need your Cambodia eVisa quickly, urgent processing services are available. With urgent processing, you can typically receive your approved eVisa within 24 to 48 hours instead of the standard 3 business days. This service comes with an additional fee on top of the regular visa cost. However, urgent processing is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed during peak travel seasons or holidays. For last-minute travel, consider applying for a visa on arrival at major airports as an alternative.

If your Cambodia eVisa application is denied, you will receive a notification explaining the reason for rejection. Common reasons include incomplete information, poor quality photographs, or passport validity issues. The application fee is typically non-refundable even if denied. You have several options after a denial:

  1. Review and reapply: Correct the issues mentioned in the rejection notice and submit a new application
  2. Apply through embassy: Contact a Cambodian embassy or consulate for a traditional visa
  3. Visa on arrival: If eligible, you can obtain a visa on arrival at the airport or certain land borders

To avoid rejection, ensure all information matches your passport exactly, use high-quality photos meeting specifications, and double-check all details before submission.

Yes, every traveler, including children and infants, must have their own valid passport and separate eVisa to enter Cambodia. There are no exceptions based on age. Parents or guardians must complete individual applications for each child traveling with them. The application process for children is the same as for adults, requiring a valid passport with at least 6 months validity, a digital passport photo, and the visa fee. Children's eVisas have the same validity period (90 days) and permitted stay (30 days) as adult eVisas.

Both the eVisa and visa on arrival allow entry to Cambodia, but they differ in application process and convenience:

eVisa advantages:

  • Apply online before travel from anywhere
  • Avoid queues at immigration
  • Pre-approved before arrival
  • Required for certain land border entries

Visa on arrival advantages:

  • Obtained immediately at airport or land border
  • Slightly lower cost ($30 vs. $30 for tourist visa)
  • No advance planning required

The eVisa is generally recommended for a smoother, faster entry process, especially during peak travel times when visa on arrival queues can be long.

No, the Cambodia eVisa is only valid at specific designated entry points. These include three major international airports (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville), selected land border crossings (Poi Pet, Bavet, Cham Yeam, and Tropaeng Kreal), and certain seaports. The eVisa is not accepted at all Cambodia border crossings. If you plan to enter through a different checkpoint, you will need to obtain a traditional visa from a Cambodian embassy or consulate beforehand, or apply for a visa on arrival if eligible at that specific location. Always verify that your intended entry point accepts eVisas before applying.
