Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply if my country is not on the list?
If your country is not eligible for the eVisa, you can apply for a visa at a Cambodian embassy or consulate in your country, or in some cases obtain a visa on arrival at the airport.
What is the AIP letter and how do I get one?
The Approval in Principle (AIP) letter is a pre-approval from Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior. You apply through evisa.gov.kh, and processing takes 7-14 business days. Once approved, you can then apply for the eVisa.
Do dual citizens need to use the same passport?
Enter and exit Cambodia using the same passport. If you have dual citizenship, choose the passport that gives you the best eligibility and validity.
Can ASEAN citizens stay longer than 30 days?
Visa-free stays for ASEAN citizens are fixed (14-30 days depending on nationality). For longer stays, you will need to apply for a visa or eVisa and then extend at the immigration office.
What if my nationality has changed since my last trip?
Eligibility is based on your current passport nationality. If you have recently changed citizenship, apply using your new passport.
Do children from eligible countries need their own eVisa?
Yes, every traveler including children and infants needs their own passport and eVisa. The child must have their own passport – being listed in a parent’s passport is not sufficient.
Practical Tips from Our Experience
- Check before booking flights: Verify your eligibility and requirements before purchasing non-refundable tickets
- AIP processing takes time: If you need an AIP letter, start the process 4-6 weeks before travel
- Land border entry: The eVisa works at 8 land borders – confirm your crossing accepts eVisa before arriving
- ASEAN citizens: If you qualify for visa-free entry, you do not need an eVisa for stays within the permitted duration
- Dual citizens: Always use the passport that gives you the most favorable visa terms
