Do I need a visa for Cambodia from Canada?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Canadian travellers need a visa for Cambodia, available as an e-Visa to apply for online before departure; a visa on arrival also exists at some entry points. There is no visa-free entry for tourism.
Cambodia offers an electronic visa that Canadian citizens complete before travelling on the official portal. The e-Visa is emailed and must be printed to present at immigration. The exact fee and validity appear on the portal at the point of payment.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Canadian nationals must obtain a visa to enter Cambodia. The tourist e-Visa covers leisure stays; for business, a separate category applies. Note the e-Visa is accepted at a limited number of entry points, which you should check against your itinerary.
How and where to apply
Apply on the official portal at evisa.gov.kh. Complete the form for the traveller departing from Canada, upload a photo and the passport page, then pay online. Beware of sites that mimic the portal: only evisa.gov.kh is the official issuer.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid at least six months, a recent passport photo and a return ticket. The visa fee and validity are set by the Cambodian authorities and displayed at payment; the grounding data lists no confirmed price, so rely on the official site.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa usually takes a few business days, so plan ahead rather than relying on visa on arrival. Print two copies of the e-Visa (one for entry, one for exit). Check the Government of Canada travel advice before departure.
Common mistakes
The most common errors are using an unofficial site, presenting the e-Visa at a border post that does not accept it, or forgetting to print the document. Also confirm the passport meets the six-month validity rule and that names match exactly.
Best time to travel
Cambodia has a tropical climate with dry and rainy seasons. The period from November to February is generally recommended to avoid intense heat and the rainy season, providing more comfortable travel conditions.
Main arrival airports
The main international airports in Cambodia are Phnom Penh International Airport (Pochentong) and Siem Reap International Airport (Angkor). These airports handle most international flights into the country.
Documents to prepare
A passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry, proof of return or onward tickets, and supporting documents for your stay or funds may be required. Travel insurance is also advisable, but a visa must be obtained in advance from an embassy or consulate.
