Cambodia has changed visa procedures at its overseas embassies and consulates. According to an October 4 notice from the Honorary Consulate of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Osaka, all Cambodian embassies and consulates abroad stopped issuing passport visa stickers on October 3, 2026. Applicants are directed to the official e-visa system.
Under the new rules, applicants can submit applications through the electronic visa system and, once approved, receive the visa by email. Travelers may visit Cambodia's official e-visa website (evisa.gov.kh) to check relevant information and learn about the application process.
The adjustment covers several visa categories, including those previously processed through embassies and consulates. However, visa stickers issued before October 3 that remain within their validity period can continue to be used and will not automatically become invalid with the introduction of the new rules.
In addition, Cambodia's visa-on-arrival service will continue for now, and travelers may choose the suitable processing method based on their own circumstances and entry requirements. Regarding the K-class visa for foreign nationals of Cambodian origin, some processing arrangements are still pending further notice.
For those planning to travel to Cambodia for tourism, business or family visits, it is recommended to check the latest official announcements before departure to confirm required materials and visa requirements, in order to avoid affecting travel plans.
