The single most-searched question for the e-Arrival

Is iVisa the official Cambodia e-Arrival site?

No.

iVisa is a commercial visa and travel document service. It is not affiliated with the Cambodia General Department of Immigration. iVisa charges a fee to file the e-Arrival on your behalf. The e-Arrival itself is free.

The actual official URL
arrival.gov.kh
§ If you already paid iVisa

One of three things happened.

Case 1 Most common

A middleman filed the real arrival declaration and charged you.

Your QR can still be valid. You paid for a free declaration. Dispute the service markup.

Case 2 Watch for

You paid for a visa bundle and still need the e-Arrival QR.

Cambodia visa and e-Arrival records are related but not identical. Check that you have the arrival QR before flying.

Case 3 Rare

Nothing was filed.

File directly at arrival.gov.kh. Use the official .gov.kh domain and keep the confirmation.

§ Recognize any imitator

Five questions that beat any list.

Pattern recognition beats memorizing domains. Bad sites change names; their tells don't.

01

Does the domain end in .gov.kh?

If no, it is not the Cambodia government. Period. .gov.kh is restricted by registry.

02

Does it ask for payment?

The e-Arrival declaration is free. Cambodia visa fees are separate and real when you need a visa. A fee just to file the arrival declaration is middleman markup.

03

Does it ask for a photo of your passport?

The official e-Arrival does not. It accepts typed text only — no upload field exists.

04

Does the URL contain "apply", "official", or "gov" but not .gov.kh?

Those words are bait. The real domain is boring: arrival.gov.kh.

05

Does the page have trust badges, testimonials, or countdown timers?

Government forms have none of these. They are ugly and functional. That is the tell.

Short answer

iVisa is not Cambodia’s immigration department. The official e-Arrival portal is arrival.gov.kh.

Visa fees can be real. A service fee for a free arrival declaration is different. Keep those two ideas separate when you compare prices.

How to check

  1. The arrival portal must end in .gov.kh.
  2. Arrival declaration is not the same as visa approval.
  3. Save both documents if your trip needs both.
