Presently an e-Visa system has been launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, which enables visitors to apply for a Cambodia tourist visa online.[1] Instead of applying through the Cambodian Embassy, all that is needed to be done is to complete the online application form and pay with a credit card. After receiving the Visa through email, it should be printed and brought along when traveling to Cambodia. Tourists can apply for an online visa to Cambodia at the official website.
