The Cambodia e-visa is meant for tourists

The visa for Cambodia that is available online is also known as the e-visa, which is short for ‘electronic visa’. Applying for this visa is relatively easy, since the entire application procedure can be completed online. Applicants have to fill in a digital form and to upload a passport photo and a copy of their passport. The visa is issued in 7 days on average per e-mail. Urgent applications are processed in 4 days on average.

The e-visa is meant for tourist travel to Cambodia. This includes recreational and cultural activities, as well as different types of sports. You may also visit friends and family in Cambodia. However, you are not allowed to travel to Cambodia for business purposes on an e-visa. This means that you are not allowed to make any company visits or to participate in any business meetings. Voluntary work is also officially not permitted, but many volunteers still travel to Cambodia on an e-visa.
