For Cambodian citizens, the mystique of India, from the ancient temples of Varanasi to the bustling tech hubs of Bangalore, has never been easier to access. The Indian government has streamlined entry into the country through the Electronic Visa or e-Visa system, whereby Cambodian travelers need not visit the embassy but can apply for an entry visa wholly online.

Whether it’s a pilgrimage, business expansion, or access to one of the world’s best medical treatments, this guidebook explains the India e Visa for Cambodia citizen in detail and answers all your frequently asked questions for 2026.
The Indian e-Visa has different types depending on your purpose of visit. It is important to apply for the correct one to prevent entry problems.
Indian e-Tourist Visa
This is the most popular option for tourists traveling from Cambodia, offering three durations to choose from under the Indian tourist visa, making it convenient for different travel plans.
30-DAY e-Tourist Visa: Grants stay of 30 days with Double Entry. Suitable for short vacationing stays.
1-Year e-Tourist Visa: This visa is valid for 365 days. The visa allows multiple entries. The total duration of stay is limited
5-year e-Tourist Visa: 5-year visa with Multiple Entries. This is beneficial for regular visitors.
Indian e-Business Visa

In order to prevent rejection, your photograph should satisfy the following strict criteria:
Background: Solid white or light gray.
Face: Full face, front view with eyes open. Without spectacles. Without any headdress except for religious reasons.
Quality: There should be no shadows in the face and background. Height and width both should be equal.
Even though this is not always asked for when applying, you might be asked for proof of having “sufficient funds” upon landing. A recent bank statement (last 3 months) and/or a credit card will come in very handy as proof of having sufficient support to live on.
Visitors arriving in India from Cambodia do not need a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate unless they have passed through a high risk area recently. It is, nevertheless, recommended to be administered vaccination/protection against:
Hepatitis A & Typhoid.
Polio (if from certain countries).
COVID-19 (verify latest airline requirements, as these regulations keep evolving).
You are not permitted to enter Indian territory through a land border using the e-Visa. You have to enter Indian territory through one of the 31 International Airports and 5 major seaports.
Key Entry Points: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad.
Biometrics: Fingerprints and a photo of your face are taken when you arrive. Many airports, including Delhi and Bengaluru airports, have introduced “DigiYatra” as a means of biometrics-enabled boarding.

Arrival Card: In the present scenario, there is no need for a pre-filled digital arrival card. You would need to fill out the arrival card on the aircraft or upon arrival at the airport.
Exit Permit: Usually, you will not require an exit permit if you hold an e Visa, unless you overstay. If you overstay, you will have to apply for an exit permit through their online portal and pay a fee.
Appropriate timing is essential. Generally, one is advised to apply at least 4 to 7 days before the flight.
Normal Processing: 3 to 6 business days.
Urgent Processing: 1 to 3 business days (usually outsourced to a special agency, charging a higher fee).
This is the common problem on the official portal.
Wait 2 Hours: Sometimes it takes time for synchronization between the system and the bank.
Status Check: Please use the Verify Payment/Pay Visa Fee tab on the official site before retrying.
Use another card: If for the same transaction it keeps failing, then try a different brand card-for example, from Mastercard to Visa.
Support Helpline: For any support, with the Application ID and transaction reference.
Ordinary Passport (valid for 6 months).
White background digital photo.

Valid Debit/Credit card for payment.
