Brazilian and Argentine citizens can apply for a Cambodia eVisa at evisa.gov.kh for $36 USD, granting a 30-day single-entry stay with a passport valid for at least 6 months. The Cambodia eVisa, operated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation since April 2006, processes in 1-3 business days. Argentine passport holders follow identical requirements and fees.
Eligibility & Document Requirements (2026)

Passport and photo specifications
Cambodia eVisa digital photo: PNG or JPEG format, white background, in colour, passport-sized. Applicants must provide hotel reservation documents and a valid email address for the approval letter. Children require separate applications with the same $36 USD fee per child.
Diplomatic passport exemptions
Brazilian diplomatic and service passport holders are exempt from the Cambodia eVisa, with a 30-day visa-free stay under an agreement dated 24 June 2011 (source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation).

Government vs third-party fees
| Channel | Fee (USD) |
|---|---|
| evisa.gov.kh (government portal) | $36 ($30 visa fee + $6 processing) |
| Third-party agencies (e.g. Sherpa) | $64.50 |
Expedited processing (5 or 24 business hours) is available through third-party agencies only, not on the government portal. A Business eVisa (E-Class) is also available with a 15-day processing time.
Accepted payment methods
The government portal accepts Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, and JCB cards. Third-party agencies may additionally accept wire transfer (HSBC). Only trust evisa.gov.kh as the legitimate government portal; other domains claiming to be the government portal may be fraudulent. After approval, print 2 copies of the Cambodia eVisa approval letter, which is electronically linked to the passport used for application.
Stay Duration, Entry Points & Health Rules
The Cambodia eVisa grants a 30-day single-entry stay under the T-Class tourist visa, valid for 90 days from the date of issue. Exit is permitted through any international immigration checkpoint. Visitors carrying $10,000 USD or equivalent must declare it upon entry.
Approved entry checkpoints
Permitted Cambodia eVisa entry: 3 airports (Phnom Penh PNH, Siem Reap REP, Sihanoukville KOS) and 4 land borders (Tropaeng Kreal, Bavet, Cham Yeam, Poi Pet). Visa on Arrival ($30 USD, 15-45 min queue) is available at non-eVisa ports as a fallback.
e-Arrival Card and Yellow Fever
Since January 2025, all visitors flying to Cambodia must submit an e-Arrival Card within 7 days before arrival, separate from the eVisa. South American travellers may need a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate depending on transit route and WHO country-risk classification; check WHO guidelines at least 10 days before travel. Travel insurance is not mandatory but recommended. Overstaying incurs a fine of approximately $10 USD per day, with potential deportation and re-entry ban.
