Summary
  • New digital arrival card for Cambodia: French citizens must complete the digital Cambodia eArrival Card before travel.
  • How to get the Cambodia eArrival card: Applying online with iVisa is fast, secure, and prevents airport delays.
  • Cambodia visa policy for French citizens: Remember to also get your Cambodia eVisa online to skip long queues on arrival.

Planning a trip from France to Cambodia soon? Great news: the Cambodia eArrival Card is now digital.

This previously paper form can now be filled out before your trip. Avoid the stress and potential delays at Cambodian immigration by preparing ahead.

Here’s everything French citizens need to know.

What is the Cambodia eArrival Card, and do French citizens need it?

Yes, French citizens must have a Cambodia eArrival Card to enter the country.

Previously, travelers filled out arrival forms manually upon entry, causing delays and queues at airports. Now, this important document can be conveniently completed online before your trip.

The eArrival Card is an official document required by Cambodia, containing your travel and personal details, which helps immigration officials streamline the entry process.

Please note: This card is not a visa, but a separate requirement. French citizens must have both an eArrival card and a visa (more info below).

What do French citizens need to submit for the Cambodia eArrival?

Applying online is simple. Ensure you have:

  • A valid French passport (at least 6 months' validity remaining)
  • Your confirmed travel dates and accommodation details in Cambodia
  • A valid email address (to receive the eArrival Card QR code)
  • A payment method (credit or debit card, PayPal, Amazon Pay, or Venmo)

When should French citizens apply?

The application window opens 7 days before traveling, but with iVisa you can apply even earlier.

💡Femke Strietman, iVisa travel expert, recommends:

"To avoid last-minute panic, it's highly recommended you apply for your eArrival Card at least 3 days before traveling."

Typically, approvals arrive quickly, often within 24 hours, but applying earlier ensures peace of mind.

Are paper arrival forms still available?

Paper forms are not available at airports, so get yours online before you go.

Some travelers (via Reddit) report that getting and filling out a paper form may still be done at land borders. However, this is not guaranteed and will soon change to a full digital system.

How to apply for the Cambodia eArrival online?

Here’s the easy step-by-step guide:

1️⃣ Visit the Cambodia eArrival Card application page on iVisa, apply via the iVisa mobile app, or get it on the government platform.

2️⃣ Answer a few questions about your trip.

3️⃣ Pay securely online using your preferred method.

4️⃣Receive your approved eArrival Card QR code via email.

💡Femke Strietman, iVisa travel expert, adds:

"You can show your QR code on your device, or print it, whatever you prefer. Make sure your device is fully charged and you have access to the internet if you need to check your email."

Why choose iVisa for your Cambodia eArrival Card application?

Here's a quick comparison that makes choosing iVisa a no-brainer for French travelers:

Feature iVisa ✅ Government ❌
Convenience Simple and quick online process Unnecessary and unclear questions
Support Customer support via chat or WhatsApp Limited or no assistance
Security We keep your personal data secure Security is unclear
Technical glitches Quick and user-friendly website and app Lots of errors and loading issues

Cambodia Visa requirements for French citizens

In addition to the eArrival Card, French passport holders must also have a valid Cambodian visa. You have two options:

Option 1: Cambodia eVisa (recommended)

  • Apply online through iVisa for your Cambodia Tourist eVisa or Business eVisa.
  • Receive your visa via email before travel.
  • Skip long visa queues on arrival.
  • Have both your eArrival Card and visa in one handy overview when applying through iVisa.

Option 2: Visa on Arrival

  • Available at major entry points, including Siem Reap International Airport.
  • Prepare for potentially long queues.
  • Must carry passport-sized photos and US dollars (cash only).

➡️ Camille Dubois, a recent traveler, shares:

"You can ONLY pay for a Cambodian visa-on-arrival in United States Dollars CASH. Credit Cards or other currencies are NOT accepted. I learned this the hard way..."

Why choose the eVisa over Visa on Arrival?

✔️ Saves you significant time (no queues upon arrival)

✔️ Convenient digital processing and delivery

✔️ Lower stress at immigration checkpoints

Final travel tips for French citizens visiting Cambodia

  • Always double-check passport validity (at least 6 months left).
  • Keep digital and printed copies of your eArrival Card and visa.
  • Have proof of accommodation bookings handy at immigration.
