Cambodia visa quick facts for French citizens
Yes — French citizens need a visa for Cambodia, and the eVisa is the straightforward route. You'll hold either a Type T tourist visa or a Type E business visa, both issued online by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The government fee is $30 for tourist and $35 for business; our fee is shown separately at checkout so you always know which part is which.
What you don't need: a flight booking, a hotel reservation, a bank statement, an invitation letter, or a trip to an embassy. Cambodia keeps this one genuinely light.

Pro tips
Cambodia travel tips for French citizens

Connectivity
A tourist SIM is $2–3 from Metfone or Smart at the airport. Coverage is good in cities and at the temples.

Getting around
PassApp and Grab work in the cities. Tuk-tuks are cheap but agree the fare before you set off.
