Cambodia e-Arrival Card for US Travelers: Timing, Airports & How It Differs from a Visa
Short answer: The Cambodia e-Arrival is an arrival information form — it is not a visa. Travel.State.Gov states travelers can submit the Cambodia e-Arrival within 7 days before their arrival. You still need a visa (for example an e-Visa) to enter Cambodia. UK FCDO travel advice (supporting description of the same system) states that air arrivals at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville international airports must complete an electronic e-Arrival Card within 7 days prior to arrival, and that there is no charge for this. Confirm the live form on official channels before you fly. Stand: 29 July 2026.

What e-Arrival is (not a visa)
e-Arrival is a digital arrival declaration / card process used for entry facilitation. Completing it does not replace a Cambodia visa. Travel.State.Gov still states a visa is required for entry.
Who and when
- Timing (State.gov): submit within 7 days before arrival.
- Airports (UK FCDO wording): Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville international airports — complete the electronic e-Arrival Card within 7 days prior to arrival.
- Cost note (UK FCDO): no charge for the e-Arrival Card on that page — still confirm on the live official form for your trip.
