Cambodia e-Arrival Card: Mandatory Online Entry Form
Understanding the CeA arrival card, visa process, QR code steps, and the new V-Pass system
The “Cambodia e-Arrival” (CeA) Application
Mandatory formality since July 1, 2024
The Cambodia e-Arrival Card (CeA) is a digital arrival system designed to simplify immigration procedures for all travelers entering the Kingdom of Cambodia.
All travelers, Cambodian and foreign, arriving by air must complete the e-Arrival Card online before entering Cambodia, even if they already hold a valid visa.
With a single digital process, the e-Arrival application allows you to complete:
- The Immigration Form
- The Customs Declaration
- The Health Declaration
- Visa: either upload your existing Cambodian visa
OR apply and pay for a Visa on Arrival directly through the app
Mandatory Submission Before Arrival
All travelers arriving in Cambodia by air must submit their Electronic Arrival Card within 7 days prior to their arrival.
BCC Practical Information
e-Arrival is required only if you arrive by plane
The system currently applies only to Cambodia’s 3 international airports. (Other borders will be included later.)
If you have trouble registering
Don’t worry, tablets and staff are available at the airport to help you complete your registration.
Important:
- Ask staff to register you on your own phone, or
- Take a clear photo of the registration screen if it’s done on a tablet.

The app requires a local address. Simply enter the address of your first hotel, even if you will travel to several destinations later.

- T: Tourist Visa
- E: Ordinary Visa
- R: Diplomatic Visa
- B: Official Visa
- C: Courtesy Visa

The e-Arrival Card allows you to complete the digital immigration form up to 7 days before your arrival in Cambodia.
The e-Arrival Card includes a health declaration form to be completed prior to arrival.
The e-Arrival Card enables you to declare any items subject to customs regulations before entering Cambodia.
Important to Know
- If you applied for your visa inside the e-Arrival app but haven’t received it before your departure:
- Keep your application confirmation on your phone
If possible, also print it Upon arrival, go straight to the immigration stamping counter, not the visa application counter. The officer will scan your QR code and retrieve your visa in the system.
How Much Does e-Arrival Cost?
The e-Arrival registration is completely free. If you apply for an e-Visa, you only pay the visa fee (around $30).

For visa extensions, we absolutely need this confirmation screen. The app may sometimes reset or delete your documents. Always save a backup.
