Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Irish citizens need a visa for Cambodia. The electronic tourist visa (e-Visa) is applied for online before departure.
Irish travellers wishing to explore Angkor, Phnom Penh or the Cambodian coast must obtain a visa before arrival. Cambodia offers a tourist e-Visa applied for online on its official portal evisa.gov.kh. This formality avoids using the embassy and can be prepared in a few minutes.
Do you need a visa?
Irish nationals must hold a visa to enter Cambodia for tourism. The electronic visa (e-Visa) is the recommended route, to be obtained before travel. The Irish passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the entry date.
How and where to apply
The application is made online on the official portal evisa.gov.kh. The Irish traveller completes the form from Ireland, uploads a photo and passport, then pays the fee. The e-Visa is then sent by e-mail; it must be printed before departure.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Irish passport valid for six months, a recent passport photo in digital format and your travel itinerary. The exact e-Visa fee is not confirmed here: check the official price shown on evisa.gov.kh at the time of payment. Payment is made by card during the application.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several working days before departure to allow processing time. Print two copies of the approved e-Visa, one for entry and one for exit. Check that the e-Visa is accepted at the entry point you plan to use, as not all of them accept it.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal evisa.gov.kh: many copycat sites charge far higher fees. Check the spelling of your name and the passport number, as any error can cause a refusal at the border. Finally, do not rely on a visa on arrival without checking the current conditions.
