Planning a trip from Taiwan to Cambodia? There’s a crucial digital document you must complete before your trip: the Cambodia eArrival card.
Introduced to streamline border control, this online form is now compulsory for all travelers, including those flying from Taiwan or crossing land borders.
Skip it, and you risk entry delays - or being turned away.
Is the Cambodia eArrival card required for Taiwanese travelers?
Yes. Every traveler from Taiwan must submit an eArrival card before entering Cambodia, whether arriving by plane or crossing by land.
This digital requirement replaces the old paper forms that were once handed out on flights or at checkpoints.
Do Taiwanese passport holders need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes. All Taiwanese citizens need a visa to enter Cambodia, even for short visits and business travel. The easiest option is applying for an eVisa or business eVisa online.
Important: the eArrival card is not a visa. You need both:
- A valid Cambodian visa (eVisa or visa on arrival)
- A completed Cambodia eArrival card
While visas can be obtained on arrival, queues are long, and only USD cash is accepted, which can be a hassle. Many travelers from Taiwan prefer the convenience of applying online in advance.
