Short-term tourism, sightseeing, and leisure visits to Cambodia. Not permitted for employment or study.

• Available as: (1) e-Visa via evisa.gov.kh (USD 30, online), (2) Visa on Arrival at international airports and major border crossings (USD 30), (3) sticker visa from Cambodian embassy/consulate (fee varies by country).
• CORRECTED: the e-Visa fee was reduced from USD 36 to USD 30 effective 1 January 2025 under a Royal Government of Cambodia tourism-boosting fee cut (announced 28 Dec 2024) - e-Visa and Visa-on-Arrival are now the same USD 30 price; the previous 'USD 36 including service fee' figure is stale.
• Valid for 3 months from issuance date; single entry allowing 30-day stay.
• One-time extension of 30 days available in Cambodia at the Department of Immigration (322 Russian Boulevard, Phnom Penh).
• Restricted nationalities (Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria) must apply at a Cambodian embassy and are ineligible for e-Visa or VOA.
• Kosovo nationals refused entry.
• Fee change corroborated by multiple 2025 travel-industry/press reports (Khmer Times, Asian Trails) citing the government announcement; direct scrape of evisa.gov.kh was blocked by a redirect loop during this review, consistent with prior access issues noted elsewhere in this record.

For foreign nationals conducting business activities in Cambodia including employment, investment, job-seeking, volunteering, retirement living, or study exceeding tourist visa limits.

• CORRECTED: contrary to the prior record, the Ordinary/Business (E-class) visa IS available fully online as an e-Visa via evisa.gov.kh, not only via embassy or on arrival.
• Available via three channels: (1) e-Visa (E-class) online at evisa.gov.kh, USD 35, ~3 business days processing; (2) Visa on Arrival at airports/borders (USD 35); (3) embassy/consulate sticker visa (fee varies by country, single entry only).
• The e-Visa E fee was reduced from USD 42 to USD 35 effective 1 January 2025 under the same Royal Government fee-reduction announcement (28 Dec 2024) that cut the tourist e-Visa price.
• The Business E visa is uniquely broad in scope: it covers employment, business visits, company inspection, long-term volunteering, study, job-seeking, and retirement.
• Initial entry is 30 days; extensible within Cambodia through the Department of Immigration for 1 month (single entry), 3 months (single entry), 6 months (multiple entry), or 12 months (multiple entry).
• Requires letter of guarantee or invitation letter from Cambodian entity; certificate of incorporation and patent tax documentation also required for business-purpose extensions.
• Online e-Visa E availability and USD 35 fee corroborated by multiple 2025 travel-industry/press sources (Khmer Times, Asian Trails) citing the government announcement; direct scrape of evisa.gov.kh was blocked by a redirect loop during this review, consistent with prior access issues noted elsewhere in this record.

• Cambodia does not publish a standardized transit visa program.
• Transit arrangements are typically handled via the Business (E) or Tourist (T) visa.
• Kosovo nationals are refused transit.

Long-term authorization for foreign nationals to reside and work in Cambodia. Obtained by extending the initial Business (E) visa within Cambodia.

• Cambodia does not issue a separate 'work visa' category; foreign workers enter on a Business (E) visa and extend it for 6 or 12 months (multiple entries).
• Extensions processed at the Department of Immigration, 322 Russian Boulevard, Phnom Penh.
• A separate Work Permit from the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training is required to legally work.
• Work permits and business visa extensions are distinct processes.
• Fee for 12-month multiple-entry extension is approximately USD 290-300 as reported by immigration practitioners.

For foreign nationals who entered on an Ordinary (E) visa and are looking for employment in Cambodia; the entry-level extension that bridges to the EB business/work extension once a job is secured.

• EG ('E-General') is one of the four Ordinary (E-class) extension-of-stay subcategories - EB (business/employment), EG (job-seeking), ER (retirement), ES (student).
• It is the extension most first-time E-class arrivals use while looking for work: issued in 1-month or 3-month increments, single entry only (leaving Cambodia voids it), and generally renewable only once before the holder must convert to an EB extension and obtain a work permit from the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training to begin employment.
• Processed inside Cambodia by the General Department of Immigration (Ministry of Interior), Phnom Penh.
• Extension fees are payable locally and vary by duration; no single fixed USD fee is officially published.

Mandatory labour-side authorization that every foreign national must hold to legally work in Cambodia, issued by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training. Complements (does not replace) the EB business/work visa extension issued by immigration.

• Distinct from the immigration visa: the EB (business) visa extension grants the right to STAY, while the work permit and foreign employment card grant the right to WORK - a foreign worker needs both.
• Applied for online through the Foreign Workers Centralized Management System (FWCMS) at fwcms.mlvt.gov.kh (issuing authority: Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training).
• Must be obtained within 90 days of first entry; issued on a calendar-year basis (valid through 31 December of the year of issue), with renewals filed between 1 January and 31 March.
• Standard combined fee is approximately USD 100 (about KHR 400,000).
• Since 2024 a valid work permit is required for all 6-month and 12-month EB visa extensions.
• Self-employed foreigners, remote workers based in Cambodia, and company directors named on the patent tax certificate also require one.
• Official FWCMS portal and the MFAIC 'Work Permit and Employment Card' government PDF (mfaic.gov.kh) confirm the system and issuing authority; both returned WAF 'Request Rejected' on direct fetch, so the fee/validity figures are corroborated by current practitioner summaries and MLVT notifications.
