Do I need a visa for Cambodia from Australia?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Australian nationals need a visa for Cambodia. The simplest option is the tourist e-Visa, applied for online before departure on the official portal.

This guide is for Australian citizens planning to discover Cambodia, from the temples of Angkor to Phnom Penh or the Sihanoukville coast. Cambodia issues an electronic visa (e-Visa) through its government portal, and the application is completed entirely online. A visa on arrival is offered at some entry points, but the e-Visa lets you skip the airport queues.

Do you need a visa?

Yes: Australian travellers are not visa-exempt for Cambodia and must obtain a tourist e-Visa. You apply online at evisa.gov.kh before departure. The passport must remain valid for at least 6 months.

How and where to apply

Apply from Australia on the official portal evisa.gov.kh: open an application, upload a photo and a copy of your passport, then pay online. Some international airports also grant a visa on arrival, but confirm your eligibility and favour the e-Visa for a smoother arrival.

Documents and fees

Prepare an Australian passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages, a recent passport photo and an address of stay in Cambodia. The fee and validity period are set by the official portal — check them when you apply on evisa.gov.kh.

Processing and tips

Processing time is not confirmed here — submit your application several working days before departure. Print the e-Visa you receive by email and show it to immigration on arrival. Also check whether a yellow-fever certificate is needed if you arrive from an at-risk area.

Common mistakes

Refusals often stem from a passport valid for under 6 months, an application filed through an unofficial third-party site, or an e-Visa that was not printed for arrival. Make sure you are applying for a tourist visa and not a business visa, and use only evisa.gov.kh.
