A GENTS must be
wary of using third
party services
for Cambodian eVisa
applications.
“There are some
companies that are
profiteering and not
offering the correct
services, while others,
that offer the correct
service, often charge
excessive service
fees that cost more
than the eVisa,” says
a spokesperson for
the Royal Embassy of
Cambodia in London.
The Royal Embassy of
Cambodia to Australia
and New Zealand, has
warned travellers against
fake sites, such as
cambodiaonarrival.com,
cambodiaevisa.com and
welovecambodia.com.
Other visa
application sites, like
cambodiaonlinevisa.org
also exist.
This website is run
by independent agents
who offer assistance
with the applications
process, but charge
fees higher than the
cost of the visa.
On cambodiaonlinevisa.
org an eVisa costs R516
(USD40). An additional
service fee of R630
(USD49) is also charged.
“The best way to
apply for an eVisa is
through the official
government website,”
the spokesperson for
the Royal Embassy in
London says.
As Cambodia has no
representation in South
Africa, South African
travellers can apply for
either an eVisa or a
visa-on-arrival.
The official website for
Cambodian eVisas is
evisa.gov.kh.
A single entry tourist
eVisa is R386 (USD30)
with an additional R77
(USD6) processing charge.
Alet Steyn, general
manager of Wendy Wu
Tours SA, recommends
using the official website
for eVisa applications.
“We’ve not had any
problems with applications
made through the official
website. So why pay extra
when you don’t have to?”
she says.
