Why applications on this route get refused
Incomplete documentation
Missing a required document is a common cause of refusal or delay.
How to avoid it: Work through this checklist before applying at evisa.gov.kh.
Missing the separate e-Arrival Card
The e-Arrival Card is a distinct, newer requirement from the e-Visa itself, travelers who only complete the e-Visa can still be caught out by this.
How to avoid it: Submit the e-Arrival Card within 7 days before you fly, even if your e-Visa is already approved.
Traveling after the e-Visa's entry window
The e-Visa is only valid for entry within 3 months of issue, applying too early and traveling later can mean it's expired on arrival.
How to avoid it: Apply for your e-Visa reasonably close to your actual travel dates.
