Where is the eVisa accepted in Cambodia? The Cambodia eVisa is accepted at 3 international airports (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville) and 4 land border crossings (Poi Pet, Bavet, Cham Yeam, Tropaeng Kreal). It is not accepted at seaports or river ports. The eVisa is a single-entry electronic visa valid for 90 days from issuance, allowing a maximum stay of 30 days. The government fee is USD 35 plus a 5% bank processing surcharge (~USD 1.75), totalling ~USD 36.75. Standard processing takes 3 business days via the application portal at evisa.gov.kh.
Travellers from the United Kingdom are eligible for both the Cambodia eVisa and the Visa on Arrival (VOA), which costs USD 30 and is issued at all international airports. For overland arrivals, the eVisa is recommended because VOA is not guaranteed at every land border checkpoint.
