General questions

What is a(n) (e-)visa for Cambodia?

If you want to go to Cambodia for a holiday or business trip, you must apply for a regular visa before entering the country. The visa is a sticker, which is issued by the Cambodia government and is affixed to the passport. With this visa you are allowed to enter the territory of Cambodia.

The visa will be checked during passport control in Cambodia. If you arrive by plane, the first visa check will probably already take place at the airport.

Our staff works professionally to ensure that your Cambodia visa application is submitted flawlessly at the Cambodia embassy, so that you can travel with peace of mind.

Do I need a visa for Cambodia?

Yes, Travelers who are not of Cambodian Nationality and want to travel to Cambodia must apply for a visa before departure. There is an electronic and a regular visa. You can apply for the e-visa for tourists and business travelers via our website. In addition, we also offer the possibility to apply for a regular visa (possibly with multiple entries) (whether or not urgently). Please contact us if you are unsure which visa applies to your trip.

Which types of visa are available?

For Cambodia there is an electronic and a regular visa. These are intended for business and tourist purposes.

What are the differences between the avaiable visas?

Regular visa (in the passport)

The regular visa will appear in your passport, which you must apply for well in advance.
The advantage of this is that you can choose a single or multiple entry. In addition, the visa has a validity of 3 months instead of. 30 days. You can also change your arrival and departure date, as long as it falls within the validity of the visa. The disadvantage is that this takes 6 working days, the costs are slightly higher and you have to deliver the necessary documents to us physically, instead of digitally.
Cambodia E-Visa

The Cambodia e-visa is valid for 90 days after issue. Within this period you can stay in the country for a maximum of 30 days. You must present a copy of the visa to the immigration officers on both entry and exit. So you need to bring 2 prints of this.
Nationalities (outside the EU, for example) that are not allowed to travel to Cambodia on an e-visa can claim a regular visa.
The purpose of your trip determines which type of visa you should apply for. If you are not sure which visa is most applicable to your situation, do not hesitate to contact us! Our employees can advise you on this.

What type of visa do I need for my holiday in Cambodia?

Do you have Dutch or Belgian nationality and do you want to stay in Cambodia for less than 30 days? Then you can apply for the e-visa. In all other cases you need to apply for a passport sticker visa at the embassy.

What do I have to do after receiving my e-visa for Cambodia?

After you have received the e-visa you need to print it out twice and take it with you when traveling to Cambodia, 1 print you hand in when you enter and 1 print you hand in when you leave Cambodia. Also, to be sure, check whether the information on the visa matches the information in your passport.

Do children need to have their own visa?

Yes, anyone traveling, regardless of age, must be able to present a visa when entering the country. This means that everyone should therefore also have their own passport, which will contain the visa.

How long am I allowed to stay in Cambodia?

The Cambodia visa is valid for 90 days from date of issue. You must stay within this period of a maximum of 30 days. Your stay in Cambodia may therefore not exceed the validity of the visa.

How many times am I allowed to enter Cambodia on one visa?

With the Cambodia e-visa you can only enter the country once. If you want to travel to Cambodia several times, you must apply for a multiple-entry visa in the form of a passport sticker. We use different rates for this, depending on the number of entries / period of validity. Check the Cambodia visa page for the rates and how we build up the total price.

Do I have to travel on the exact date which is stated on my visa?

No that is not necessary. Please note: you may only travel within the validity dates stated on the Cambodia visa. If you have changed your trip and it is no longer within the validity of the visa, you must apply for a new visa.

How much does a visa cost and how long will the procedure take?

The costs for the visa vary per visa and processing time. Look on this page for the rates and the structure of the total price of the desired visa type.

Normally the delivery time of both the business and tourist visa is 5 working days. The urgent procedure normally takes 3 working days.

However, the embassy and consulate reserve the right at all times to take longer than the specified processing time to assess your application.

Application related questions

How far in advance can I apply for a Cambodia visa?

The application for the Cambodia visa is possible between a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 90 working days before departure, depending on the visa type you have chosen. To ensure that the visa is issued on time, we recommend that you submit the application a few weeks before departure.

Is it possible to apply for others or as a group?
