Eligibility & Document Requirements for a Cambodia eVisa
Tourist eVisa (Type-T) Specifications
The eVisa Cambodia for Canadians (Type-T) costs $35 USD (as of 2026), permits single entry, allows a maximum stay of 30 days from date of entry, and is valid for 90 days from date of issue. The business eVisa (Type-E) costs $42 USD with processing of up to 15 business days.

Passport & Digital Photo Requirements
Canadian passports must be valid for 6 months from date of arrival with at least 1 blank page. The digital passport photo must measure 4 x 6 cm in JPEG or PNG format, maximum 2 MB, on a plain white background with no glasses or headwear, taken within the last 6 months.

eVisa for Children & Minors

eVisa vs Visa on Arrival
The eVisa Cambodia for Canadians costs $35 USD and lets you skip airport immigration queues. Visa on Arrival (VOA) costs ~$30 USD at the counter, requires a physical passport photo, and involves a 15-45 minute wait. VOA is available at all ports of entry; the eVisa is limited to 7 checkpoints. Re-entry requires a new visa application in both cases.

e-Arrival Card & Overstay Rules
Mandatory since September 2024, the free e-Arrival Card must be submitted within 7 days pre-arrival by all air travellers. Overstay fines are $10 USD daily with no cap; overstaying more than 30 days results in forced departure, detention, and deportation at the traveller’s expense. The eVisa Cambodia for Canadians can be extended 30 extra days (~$45 USD, 3-5 business days) at Cambodia Immigration, Phnom Penh (as of 2026).
FPCS Registration & UK-Based Canadian Applicants
All visitors must register on the Foreigners Present in Cambodia System (FPCS) app (iOS, Android) after arrival; failure prevents visa extension. The eVisa Cambodia for Canadians is nationality-based, not residence-based: UK-based Canadians use the same evisa.gov.kh portal, same fees, and same requirements; payment is charged in USD with GBP conversion. The Royal Embassy of Cambodia in London handles consular matters only and does not process eVisas.

Do Canadian citizens need a visa for Cambodia transit?
Cambodia offers no transit without visa (TWOV) for Canadian passport holders. Even airside transit requires a valid visa if you leave the international zone. The eVisa Cambodia for Canadians cannot be used for transit purposes; it is issued for tourism only.
What if I made a mistake on my eVisa application?
No amendments are possible after payment confirmation. Critical errors such as a wrong passport number or misspelled name require a completely new application and a new $35 USD fee. Use the review screen to verify all details. You can check or change certain application details at evisa.gov.kh/check_change before payment is processed.
Can I get a refund if my eVisa is denied?
No – the $35 USD fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome. Apply directly via evisa.gov.kh to avoid third-party fees.
How long before my trip should I apply for the eVisa?
Apply at least 7 business days ahead; standard processing is 3 business days, slower during Khmer New Year / Pchum Ben; Type-E takes up to 15 business days.
Can I extend my eVisa while in Cambodia?
Yes – 30 extra days at Phnom Penh Immigration, ~$45 USD, 3-5 business days. Apply before expiry.
What vaccinations do I need for Cambodia?
None mandatory for Canadians. Hepatitis A and B and Typhoid are recommended. A yellow fever certificate is required only if arriving from an endemic country. Consult a travel health clinic 6-8 weeks before departure.
Is travel insurance mandatory for Canadians visiting Cambodia?
Not mandatory but strongly recommended. Canadian provincial health plans provide zero coverage abroad. International clinics exist in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap; rural healthcare is virtually nonexistent. Verify your policy covers Cambodia.
Can I use my eVisa at any border crossing in Cambodia?
No – only the 7 checkpoints listed above. Other crossings require a visa on arrival or an embassy visa instead.
How can I avoid fraudulent Cambodia eVisa websites?
The MFAIC has published a list of known fraudulent eVisa websites. The only legitimate portal is evisa.gov.kh. Red flags include a non-.gov.kh domain, fees significantly above $35 USD, and requests for unnecessary personal data such as bank PINs or your Social Insurance Number. If you paid a fraudulent site, report the charge to your card provider immediately and reapply through evisa.gov.kh.
