Cambodia visa for Dutch citizens: Service & cost in March 2024

Foreign visitors flock to Cambodia for its enticing combination of golden beaches, ancient temples, delectable gastronomy, and distinct culture. Knowing this, the Cambodian government decided to introduce a new type of visa known as an electronic visa (e-visa) in 2006 to address the most common issue for travelers: time and expense when applying for a visa.

Because of the introduction of the Cambodia e-Visa, citizens from over 200 countries, including many from the Schengen area, can now travel to Cambodia more easily.

Interested citizens, such as Dutch citizens, can apply online for a Cambodia e-visa and receive an approved visa sooner than usual, eliminating the need to apply at an embassy or consulate and wait for so long for just a short-term visa.

This article will teach you everything you need to know about Cambodia visas for Dutch citizens, including how to apply for a Cambodia e-Visa and what documents you'll need.

Cambodia visa requirements for Dutch citizens

1. Cambodia e-visa for Dutch citizens

The Cambodian e-Visa, introduced in 2006 by the Kingdom of Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, is an online electronic visa that allows visitors to stay in Cambodia for the same amount of time as a casual visa but with some differences:

  • Availability: for tourism, business, and visit purposes, but NOT for employment.
  • Period of stay: The Cambodia e-visa allows you to stay in the country for up to 30 days from the date of arrival.
  • Validity time: 3 months (90 days) from the date of issue.

There are several other types of Cambodia visas available to Dutch citizens, including those for long-term stays and other types of travel, such as business activities and studying or working in Cambodia. To apply for one of these types of visas, travelers from the Netherlands are required to visit the Cambodian embassy in the Netherlands.

The e-visa, like the regular type, requires personal documents for verification. However, its requirements are still shorter and easier in general, and, more importantly, you will not have to wait at the embassy.

Before applying for a Cambodia e-visa from the Netherlands, we recommend reading the Cambodia Visa requirements for Dutch citizens:

  • A Dutch passport which is valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Cambodia and a blank page for stamping and a digital copy of the biographical page of the same passport.
  • Portrait photo: This must be a JPEG or PNG format that meets all of the standard passport photo requirements, including correct composition, size, lighting, and facial expression.
  • Valid email address: this is the address to which the Cambodia visa will be arrived.
  • Health record and insurance: you will be asked to have COVID-19 insurance to enter Cambodia as a secure solution for covering your fee if there is a circumstance. You also need to provide a vaccination certificate with at least 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

Travelers from the Netherlands must print a copy of their Cambodia eVisa to present to border officials upon arrival in Cambodia.
