Cambodia e-Arrival (CeA)
Arrival Card Asia | Cambodia e-Arrival
August 7, 2026
✈️ Before You Go
Before you fly to Cambodia, don’t assume your visa-on-arrival is a breeze—it can mean a 45-minute queue after a long flight. Instead, complete the official Cambodia e-Arrival (CeA) form online up to 7 days before departure. This single submission covers both your immigration card and customs declaration, and if you need a tourist visa (most nationalities do), you can add it in the same portal. The real-world process takes about 10 minutes to fill out, but approvals for the e-visa part can take up to 3 business days—so submit at least 4 days early. First-time visitors are most surprised that the CeA is not just a visa; it’s a combined entry form, and you still need to show your passport at the counter. Travelers often find that screenshot your QR code and save it offline—airport Wi-Fi is unreliable, and the officer at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap will scan your phone directly, so a dead battery or no signal can cause a frustrating delay.

0- • Since 2024, Cambodia has fully implemented the Cambodia e-Arrival card, replacing three paper forms (immigration, customs, health)
- • Must submit online within 7 days before arrival — not earlier than 7 days
- • Screenshot the QR code confirmation in advance — Cambodia airport network coverage can be unreliable
- • Cambodia visa (e-Visa or visa on arrival) is a separate process — the e-Arrival card is not a visa
- • The website supports English, French, and Chinese — switch language at the top of the page
- • e-Arrival combines immigration card + customs declaration + health declaration into one single form
- • Passport number: be careful with 0 (zero) vs O (letter). Passport numbers typically do not contain the letter O
- • Purpose of visit cannot be changed after selection — choose Tourism or Business carefully before confirming
- • Chinese mainland travelers transiting through Cambodia without leaving the airport do not need e-Arrival
- • Cambodia e-Arrival is completely free — any website claiming to process it for a fee is a scam
