Understanding Cambodia eVisa validity rules helps you plan your trip correctly and avoid overstaying. This guide explains the validity period, stay duration, extension options, and consequences of overstaying.
Cambodia eVisa Validity Period
The Cambodia Tourist eVisa (Type-T) validity rules are:
- Validity period: 90 days from the date of issue (printed on your eVisa)
- Stay duration: 30 days from the date of entry into Cambodia
- Entry type: Single entry only
You can enter Cambodia at any point within the 90-day validity window. Once inside, you have 30 days to stay. The 30-day stay counter starts on the day you enter Cambodia – not the day the eVisa was issued.
Validity Example
If your eVisa is issued on January 1, 2026:
- You can enter Cambodia any time before March 31, 2026 (the 90-day expiry)
- If you enter on March 15, you can stay until April 14 (30 days from entry)
- If you enter on January 5, you must leave by February 4
How to Extend a Cambodia eVisa
The Tourist eVisa can be extended once while inside Cambodia for an additional 30 days:
- Visit the Department of Immigration (or a registered visa extension service in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap)
- Apply for the extension before your current 30-day stay expires
- Pay the extension fee (typically $30-45 USD)
- Receive an extension stamp in your passport
Maximum stay with extension: 60 days total (30 days initial + 30 days extension).
Business Visa – Longer Stay Options
The Business eVisa (Type-E) offers more flexible extension options compared to the Tourist visa:
- Initial 30-day stay
- Can be extended multiple times – 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months
- Popular with digital nomads and long-term expats
See Cambodia visa types for all options.
Consequences of Overstaying
Overstaying your Cambodia visa is a serious offence with significant consequences:
- Fine: $10 USD per day of overstay
- Detention: Possible detention at immigration before departure
- Deportation: Possible deportation at your own expense
- Entry ban: May affect future Cambodia visa applications
Always track your entry date carefully. See Cambodia eVisa FAQ for more common questions.
Frequently Asked Questions

The 30-day stay begins on the date you enter Cambodia, not the date the eVisa was issued. Do not confuse these two dates.
Can I leave Cambodia and re-enter on the same eVisa?

How long can I stay in total on a Tourist eVisa?
Up to 60 days with one extension: 30 days initial stay + 30 days extension. For longer stays, the Business Visa (Type-E) is recommended.
How much is the Cambodia visa overstay fine?
$10 USD per day of overstay. This is paid at the immigration counter when departing.
