Important Reminders for Entry with Cambodia eVisa

Print Your eVisa

It is mandatory to print two copies of your approved Cambodia eVisa certificate. Black and white copies are acceptable. One copy will be presented to immigration upon entry, and the second copy should be kept for departure.

Although some travelers report that electronic copies on mobile devices may be accepted, it's always safer to carry printed copies to avoid any complications at the border.

Verify Your Entry Point

Before traveling, confirm that your intended entry point accepts the eVisa. The eVisa is not valid at all Cambodia border crossings, sea ports, or river crossings. Only the seven designated entry points listed above accept the eVisa.

If you plan to enter through a non-supported checkpoint, you will need to obtain a traditional visa from a Cambodian embassy or consulate before traveling.

Check Validity and Duration

Your Cambodia eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, meaning you must enter Cambodia within this timeframe. Once you arrive, you are permitted to stay for a maximum of 30 days.

Review our guide on eVisa validity and permitted length of stay to ensure your travel dates align with your visa authorization.

Have Supporting Documents Ready

In addition to your eVisa, immigration officers may request to see supporting documents such as:

  • Valid passport (6 months validity minimum)
  • Proof of onward travel (return or exit ticket)
  • Proof of accommodation in Cambodia
  • Sufficient funds for your stay

Having these documents ready will facilitate a smoother entry process.

Where the eVisa is NOT Accepted

It's equally important to know where the Cambodia eVisa cannot be used for entry. The eVisa is not valid at the following types of entry points:

  • Other land border crossings - There are numerous other land borders with Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos that do not accept the eVisa
  • Seaports and river ports - Maritime entry points, including cruise ship arrivals at Sihanoukville Port
  • Unofficial or minor border crossings - Small crossing points that may be open but don't process eVisas

If you must enter through a non-approved checkpoint, you have two alternatives:

  1. Visa on Arrival - Available at most international airports and many land borders (higher cost and longer processing time)
  2. Traditional visa from embassy/consulate - Must be obtained before travel from a Cambodian diplomatic mission

Frequently Asked Questions About Entry Points

Common questions about using your Cambodia eVisa at ports of entry

No, the Cambodia eVisa is only accepted at specific designated entry points. These include three international airports (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville) and four land border checkpoints (Cham Yeam, Poi Pet, Bavet, and Tropaeng Kreal). If you plan to enter through a different crossing, you will need to obtain a traditional visa or visa on arrival.

It is highly recommended to print two copies of your Cambodia eVisa - one for entry and one for departure. While some travelers report that electronic copies on mobile devices may be accepted, printed copies are safer and officially required. Black and white prints are acceptable. Always carry printed copies to avoid any complications at immigration.

If you arrive at a border crossing that does not accept the eVisa, you will likely need to apply for a visa on arrival if that checkpoint offers this service. Not all border crossings accept eVisas, so it's crucial to verify your entry point before traveling. Some remote crossings may not process any type of visa, so always plan your route carefully and check current entry requirements.

Siem Reap International Airport (REP/SAI) is the best entry point for tourists heading directly to Angkor Wat. The airport is located close to the temple complex and the city of Siem Reap. Alternatively, many travelers fly into Phnom Penh and then take a domestic flight or bus to Siem Reap. Overland travelers often use the Poi Pet border crossing from Thailand.

Yes, you can enter Cambodia at one approved entry point and exit at a different one. For example, you could fly into Phnom Penh International Airport and later exit overland through the Bavet checkpoint into Vietnam. The Cambodia eVisa allows for flexible travel within the country, as long as both your entry and exit points are on the approved list. Remember to keep your second copy of the eVisa for presentation upon departure.

Besides your printed eVisa, you should have the following documents ready:

  • Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
