The fake e-visa websites that overcharge tourists

The single biggest money trap with a Cambodia e-visa is not the visa itself, it is the copycat website you apply on. The only official portal is evisa.gov.kh, run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The tourist e-visa there costs around 30 US dollars, down from 36 dollars after a price cut at the start of 2025. Anything charging materially more is a third party adding a markup, and some are outright fraudulent.

Cambodian authorities have publicly warned about lookalike sites that buy top search-result slots. One reported case involved a site posing as cambodiaimmigration.org that billed a traveler around 300 dollars for a visa worth a fraction of that. These pages mimic government branding, harvest your passport details, and either deliver nothing or hand over a visa you could have bought yourself for a tenth of the price.

Protect yourself with a few checks before paying:

  • Confirm the address bar reads exactly evisa.gov.kh, not a .org or .info variation
  • Expect a total near 30 dollars for tourism, not 100-plus
  • Apply roughly 3 days ahead, since approvals usually return within about 3 business days by email

Beyond the wrong site, most genuine rejections come from avoidable errors: a cropped selfie instead of a plain passport-style photo, a misspelled name or wrong passport number, or a passport with under six months of validity. Print your approval letter rather than relying on a phone, because the land borders at Poipet and Bavet still expect a paper copy.
