Do I need a visa for Cambodia from France?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. French nationals need an e-Visa for Cambodia, applied for online before departure.
French travellers require a visa to enter Cambodia and can obtain it as an e-Visa through the official portal evisa.gov.kh. The application is made online, from France, before boarding. The passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, a visa is required for French travellers: the tourist e-Visa covers short stays. A visa on arrival exists at certain entry points, but an e-Visa obtained in advance simplifies boarding and the border crossing. Check the permitted length of stay and number of entries on the official portal.
How and where to apply
Go to the official site evisa.gov.kh, start your file and complete the online form from France. You upload a photo, pay by card and receive the e-Visa by email to print. No embassy visit is needed for a standard tourist stay.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a recent passport photo in the required format, your itinerary and proof of accommodation. The exact fee should be verified on the official portal at the time of application. Make sure the photo meets the guidelines, or it may be rejected.
Processing and tips
Submit the application several days before departure to cover any processing delay. Print the e-Visa twice: one copy for entry and one for exit. Check that the name and passport number match your document exactly.
Common mistakes
Do not confuse the e-Visa with the visa on arrival: each channel has its own conditions and accepted entry points. Avoid unofficial middleman sites that overcharge; use evisa.gov.kh only. A passport valid for under six months is a frequent cause of refusal.
