Apply for Cambodia eVisa Online from Taiwan: A Complete Guide

If you're planning a trip from Taiwan to Cambodia, you're in for a treat—and you’ll be glad to know that the online visa process has been streamlined. In this guide I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to apply for a Cambodia eVisa online from Taiwan, including eligibility, costs, documents, and travel tips. I’ve written it in a conversational, human-traveler tone: imagine you and me chatting over a coffee about your Cambodia trip.

What is an eVisa for Cambodia?

Simply put, when you’re travelling to the Kingdom of Cambodia, the eVisa is an electronic visa: you apply online, submit required info and documents, pay the fee, receive approval by email, print (or carry a digital copy) and present it on arrival. On the official site, the process is described in three steps: apply, pay, download.

The eVisa is typically for short-stay tourism (or business) and is much more convenient than having to visit an embassy or consulate. According to the visa policy of Cambodia, most visitors must obtain either a visa (on arrival or eVisa) since most countries are not visa-exempt.

For Taiwanese travellers, the eVisa is certainly the preferred route for ease of travel. One source specifically mentions “China Taiwan passport holders” can apply online.

So: if you’re in Taiwan and want to visit Cambodia, the eVisa is your friend.

Can I apply for a Cambodia eVisa from Taiwan?

Yes — you can. Taiwanese passport holders (or residents of Taiwan planning to travel) are eligible to apply for Cambodia eVisa online. For example, one source for “China Taiwan” passport holders says that the eVisa “offers a fast and hassle-free solution … ideal for short-term stays” and you apply via the online form.

While there is no specific special condition listed saying “only apply from Taiwan”, the fact that Taiwan passport (or holders) are mentioned indicates you can apply while in Taiwan before departure.

Of course, you will need your travel documents (passport, photo, payment method, etc) ready and make sure you apply via the official portal of the Cambodia eVisa system. (More on that below.)

How long does it take to get a Cambodia eVisa from Taiwan?

Processing times vary but here’s a realistic expectation:

• According to the online eVisa portal, the Cambodia eVisa Processing Time is typically 3 business days.
• Some sources mention you should apply at least 3-5 days before your travel date to allow for any delays.
• For Taiwanese passport holders, one site says the processing is “within 3-5 working days”.
• So, if you’re in Taiwan and planning your trip, give yourself at least a week buffer (7 days) between your application and travel date just to be safe. Applying much earlier is fine too — as long as you enter Cambodia within the validity window (see next sections).

How do I fill out the Cambodia eVisa application form?

Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough to the Cambodia eVisa application form to make it easy:

1. Choose your evisa type (Tourist eVisa usually).
2. Fill in your personal information: full name (as per passport), date of birth, nationality (Taiwan), passport number, issue/expiry date of passport, purpose of visit (tourism), intended entry date, etc. For Taiwanese applicants the same standard applies.
3. Upload required documents: a digital copy (scan) of your passport bio page, a recent passport‐size photo (JPEG/PNG) meeting size requirements.
4. Provide your travel details: intended date of arrival into Cambodia, port of entry, address in Cambodia (hotel name or accommodation). Some travellers report you can enter any hotel but you should have something.
5. Pay the online fee using a debit/credit card (Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay etc). On the official site you’ll see list of payment methods.
6. Submit the application. You’ll receive a confirmation and then the eVisa approval letter (PDF) by email once approved. Print it out (or have a good digital copy) to present at Cambodian immigration.
7. Before you travel, make sure you complete any other required entry documentation—note that Cambodia also has an “e-Arrival” card requirement for nearly all travellers arriving.

Tips for filling the form smoothly:

• Double-check your passport number, name spelling, dates — mistakes often lead to delays or rejection.
• Use the exact name and details as on your passport (avoid nicknames).
• For the passport photo, make sure it meets size and format requirements.
• Make payment with a card that allows international transactions from Taiwan (sometimes card banks may block foreign website payments; inform your bank).
• Print or save a backup of your approval email/PDF.
• Apply from a reliable internet connection; save your reference/receipt.
• Don’t wait until the last minute; give at least a few days for processing and allow for any hiccups.

What documents are required for a Cambodia eVisa application from Taiwan?

Here is a list of the standard documents you must have as a Taiwanese traveller applying for the Cambodia eVisa:

• A valid Taiwanese passport (or passport issued by Taiwan) with 6 months validity remaining from the date of entry into Cambodia.
• A recent passport‐type digital photo (JPEG/PNG) meeting size requirements.
• A scanned/copy of the passport main bio page (with photo, name, passport number).
• Valid email address (so they can send your approval).
• A payment method (credit or debit card) to pay the online fee.
• Your intended travel date and port of entry details.
• Accommodation address (hotel or other stay) in Cambodia — even if you change later, you’ll need to put something.

• Note: Some nationalities (not always Taiwan) may be asked to provide a proof of onward/return ticket, or proof of finances, but for many tourist applications these are not strictly required by the form. That said, it’s wise to have your return or onward ticket ready. One Reddit user applying for Cambodia eVisa mentioned that land border or flight details were asked.

Given you’re applying from Taiwan, it’s straightforward — just meet the above standard list. If you’re traveling with children/minors (see section later), additional details may be needed (like copy of their passport, parent/guardian info).

How much does the Cambodia eVisa cost for Taiwanese citizens?

The online portal lists the tourist eVisa (type T) fee as (for a single-entry stay up to 30 days) and Business eVisa (type E).

As of January 1, 2025, Cambodia’s government issued a “Technical Update” confirming that the tourist eVisa fee was reduced from, ordinary eVisa.

So for Taiwanese citizens applying for the tourist eVisa, you can expect to pay (plus any small bank/card transaction charges, depending how the portal handles card payments abroad).

Tip: Always ensure you’re using the online portal to avoid paying inflated fees to third-party intermediaries.

What are the eligibility criteria for applying for a Cambodia eVisa from Taiwan?

As a Taiwanese citizen/traveller, here are the criteria you must meet to be eligible for the Cambodia eVisa:

• You must hold a valid Taiwanese passport (or equivalent travel document) with at least six months of validity remaining from your date of intended entry into Cambodia.
• You must plan to use the eVisa for tourism (or business) stay, typically for up to 30 days and single entry.
• You must apply online through the online eVisa portal, submit accurate personal/travel info, pay the required fees.
• Your travel date must be within the validity window of the eVisa (for example, you must enter Cambodia before the eVisa expiry).
• You must present the eVisa (approved letter) along with your passport at the port of entry (airport or designated land border). If you fail to do so, you may be refused entry.
• You must provide truthful information in the application; any errors or misrepresentations may lead to denial or entry issues.
• You need to have a return or onward travel plan (though strictly it may not be verified heavily, but it is part of best travel practice).
• For minors or children, additional criteria (parental consent, child’s passport, etc) will apply (covered later).

In essence: as a Taiwanese traveller you meet the general eligibility (most nationalities can apply) assuming you have valid travel documents and plan a short-stay tourism visit.

What is the validity of the Cambodia eVisa for Taiwanese citizens?

Here are key numbers regarding validity and stay period for Taiwanese (and general) applicants:

• The eVisa (Tourist type) is typically valid for entry within 3 months (90 days) from the date of issue. That means once approved you must arrive in Cambodia before the expiry date.
• Once you enter Cambodia, you can stay for up to 30 days (single entry) under the tourist eVisa.
• The eVisa is single entry only: once you enter, the visa has been used; if you exit and re-enter you will need a new visa.
• Extensions: Some sources note that stay extensions may be possible by applying at Cambodian immigration offices after arrival, but that is not guaranteed and may involve extra cost.

So from Taiwan, once you receive your eVisa approval, you should plan to travel within those 90 days, and your stay in Cambodia should not exceed 30 days under that visa.

Can I enter Cambodia with an eVisa at any border?

Yes and no. You can enter Cambodia using the eVisa at selected airports and designated land border checkpoints, but not all entry points accept the eVisa. You should verify your port of arrival ahead of time.

The official website lists major airports: e.g., Phnom Penh International (now superseded by the new Techo International Airport as of September 2025), Siem Reap (Angkor) Airport, Sihanoukville International Airport.

For land borders, approved checkpoints include: Bavet (on Vietnamese border), Tropaeng Kreal (Stung Treng Province), Poipet (Thai border), Cham Yeam (Koh Kong) etc.

One Reddit traveller shared:

“The eVisa is valid for land entry at Poipet and Koh Kong…”

However:

• Always check that your chosen border is on the approved list for eVisa holders (the list may change).
• If you arrive at a non-approved checkpoint, you may have to obtain a visa on arrival (VOA) or face issues.
• Also note that if you applied for a visa assuming you’ll fly in but end up crossing a land border, that may trigger extra scrutiny.

Tip: If your itinerary is Taiwan → Cambodia by air, entering at Siem Reap or Phnom Penh, then eVisa is straightforward. If you plan a land crossing, make sure the checkpoint accepts the eVisa.

What if I make a mistake on my Cambodia eVisa application?

Mistakes happen. If you notice a typo or wrong date in your application after submission:

• First: verify whether edits are possible via the eVisa portal. Some systems allow “Check & Change” options (official site mentions “Download the eVisa certificate from your email or eVisa ‘Check & Change’”).
• If you have already been approved and notice an error (such as name spelling, passport number, wrong date of travel), you should contact the Cambodia eVisa support via the official website/email as soon as possible. Some third-party sites warn of extra charges or delays.
• At worst, if the error is significant (wrong passport number, different name, etc) the eVisa may not be valid, and you may need to re-apply (and pay again) to ensure your visa matches your travel documentation.
• On arrival, immigration may deny you entry if the eVisa details do not match your passport exactly, so best to fix before departure.

My advice: Before submission, double-check all entries. After approval, ensure the PDF matches your passport details. If any mismatch, act promptly.

What should I do if my Cambodia eVisa is denied?

Though denials are rare if you follow instructions, they can happen. If your application is denied:

• The first step: read the denial reason (if provided). It might be due to incorrect information, passport validity, payment failure, etc.
• Sometimes it’s simply delayed; you may receive approval after additional review.
• If denied, you may still apply for a visa on arrival (VOA) when you reach Cambodia — but note: some airlines may refuse boarding if passengers don’t have an eVisa (depending on nationality). Several travellers warn about this.
• Alternatively, you can apply again for the eVisa via the official portal, ensuring all required fields are correctly completed, passport validity is adequate, payment successful.
• Keep clear records of your application (reference number, email confirmation) in case you need to contact support.

The key: don’t panic. Denial doesn’t mean you cannot travel — but you will need to secure a visa or alternate approved entry document before arrival.

What is the process for getting a Cambodia eVisa for children or minors?

Traveling with children from Taiwan? Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Each traveller (including children/minors) must have their own individual eVisa application. The application requires personal details and a passport for each person.
• The child must have a valid passport (parent or guardian cannot travel on a parent’s passport).
• The application form will ask for their details (name, passport number, date of birth, nationality, etc). For minors, ensure the parent fills out the form and indicates their relationship.
• Upload the child’s passport bio page and a recent passport-style photo of the child.
• Payment will be required for each child applicant (USD 30 for standard tourist eVisa).
• On arrival, carry proof of parent/guardian relationship as needed (copy of birth certificate, etc) although it may not always be requested.
• Ensure the child’s passport is valid for at least six months beyond the intended entry date into Cambodia (as with adults).
• If traveling without one or both parents, ensure you carry a parental consent letter from the absent parent(s). While not always strictly required by Cambodia immigration, it’s a wise precaution.

In short: treat the minor’s application just like an adult’s eVisa application, with the added caution of parental consent and each child having their own application.

Travel Tips

Here are some helpful travel-hacks and things to keep in mind as you plan your Cambodia trip from Taiwan:

• Apply early: Even though processing is ~3-5 business days, apply at least 7 days ahead to give buffer for weekends or holiday delays.
• Use the official portal: The only official site is the Cambodian government’s eVisa portal (evisa.gov.kh). Be cautious of websites charging much higher fees or using misleading URLs. Many traveller forums warn of “scam” sites.
• Print the eVisa and carry a digital copy: Even if you have the PDF on your phone, carry a printed copy as backup (in case of poor connectivity).
• Complete the e-Arrival card too: For Cambodia, in addition to eVisa (if required), nearly all travellers must complete the “e-Arrival” form (online) within 7 days prior to arrival. One Reddit user emphasised:
• The e-Arrival card asks you for lots of information: The visa on arrival is not recommended because an increasing number of airlines demand the e-visa.”
• Make sure you do this too, especially if flying in.
• Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months: This is a common requirement for Cambodia eVisa. Your passport expiry date could cause a rejection if it’s too close.
• Check your entry point if travelling by land: If you plan to cross by land (from Thailand or Vietnam) make sure your chosen border crossing allows eVisa entry (rather than only visa on arrival or different rules).
• Have some USD cash handy: Although eVisa allows payment online, on arrival immigration/visa-on-arrival desks often prefer USD. Also, for any incidental payments/extensions in Cambodia.
• Extend your stay if needed (but don’t rely on it): If you plan to stay more than 30 days, you might need to extend your visa locally. Do some research in advance if that’s your plan.
• Travel insurance: Always wise for international travel. Cambodia is relatively safe for tourism, but take standard precautions (health, valuables).
• Respect local customs: Dress modestly when visiting temples, show respect, keep local currency for small purchases (many places accept USD though).
• Keep copies of your documents: Passport copy, eVisa approval, travel itinerary. In case you lose your passport or face an issue, quick access to scans helps.
• Know your return ticket: It’s good practice to have a confirmed return or onward flight, as immigration officials might ask for proof of onward travel.
• Arrive early at immigration: Even with eVisa, you might wait in queues. Having all documents ready (passport, eVisa printout, arrival card) helps speed things up.
• Check airline requirements: Some airlines require you to have an eVisa before boarding, particularly for nationals of certain countries. Confirm with your airline when flying from Taiwan.
• Keep local currency for small fees: Sometimes service fees or small charges are in USD or local currency (Cambodian Riel) for things like transport, sim cards, local purchases.
• Stay aware of visa rules changing: Immigration policies may change, so always check the latest info shortly before your trip (especially after 2025 updates).
