Hong Kong (SAR China) to Cambodia visa requirements

HKSAR ordinary passport holders need a visa for Cambodia. The standard route is the Cambodia tourist eVisa (Type-T), applied online before travel for about USD 36, allowing a single entry and up to 30 days stay. Note: a temporary visa-free pilot lets Hong Kong passport holders enter for up to 14 days per visit between 15 June and 15 October 2026. Cambodia is not on the Hong Kong Immigration Department's standing visa-free / visa-on-arrival list, so an HKSAR ordinary passport holder normally requires a visa. The most convenient and reliable channel for a short tourist visit is the official Cambodia tourist eVisa (Type-T), applied for online at evisa.gov.kh before departure. The eVisa typically costs USD 36 (some 2025 schedules show a reduced USD 30), is processed in about 3 business days, permits a single entry, allows up to 30 days of stay, and remains valid for 90 days from issue. Visa-on-arrival is also available at major airports and land borders as an alternative. Important and time-limited: Cambodia has launched a temporary visa-free pilot for Hong Kong (and Macao and mainland China) passport holders running 15 June to 15 October 2026, permitting visa-free entry for up to 14 days per visit with unlimited entries during the window, conditional on completing the digital Cambodia e-Arrival card and carrying medical cover of at least USD 10,000. Stays beyond 14 days, or travel outside that window, require the eVisa or visa-on-arrival. Cambodia is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Given the pilot is narrow and conditional, the year-round best-fit verdict for a Hong Kong tourist is eVisa.

Stay-length and entry limits
The eVisa is single-entry with a 30-day stay; the pilot caps each visit at 14 days, so longer trips need an eVisa.

Frequently asked

Do Hong Kong passport holders need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes, normally. Cambodia is not on Hong Kong's standing visa-free list, so HKSAR passport holders should obtain a tourist eVisa before travel — unless entering during the 15 June–15 October 2026 visa-free pilot for stays of 14 days or less.
