Cambodia eVisa Entry Points: Cham Yeam and Poi Pet eVisa Entry Suspended

Cambodia eVisa planning often goes wrong at one small field: Port of Entry. A traveler may have a valid passport, flight or bus plan, accommodation, and payment card ready, but the route still may not match the eVisa entry point shown in the official form.

Checked on July 17, 2026: the official Cambodia eVisa port list marks Cham Yeam and Poi Pet as "Temporarily closed for e-Visa entry until further notice." Both ports show No for eVisa entry and Yes for exit. This is an eVisa-entry restriction; it does not mean the border crossing is fully closed.

TL;DR: If your Cambodia eVisa route depends on Cham Yeam / Koh Kong or Poi Pet / Banteay Meanchey, do not plan to enter there with an eVisa while the official notice remains in effect. Use an entry point that currently accepts eVisa entry, check official visa options for the intended crossing, or change the itinerary before paying for non-refundable transport.

What The Official Port List Shows

The official eVisa port list currently shows:

The important distinction is between eVisa entry support and the border's overall operation. The official list says eVisa entry is temporarily closed at Cham Yeam and Poi Pet, while eVisa exit remains supported.

Why This Matters For Land Routes

Poi Pet is the route many travelers think of when they search for Bangkok to Siem Reap by bus. Cham Yeam / Koh Kong is common for Thailand to southwest Cambodia routes. Those names appearing in older articles or maps do not mean they currently accept eVisa entry.

For an eVisa, the port selected in the application should match the entry plan. If your bus route crosses at a port that does not currently accept eVisa entry, stop before payment and confirm the visa option and route with official sources. Do not rely on a bus operator's generic "Cambodia visa" wording unless it clearly explains which visa type and entry point it means.

Three Practical Choices

1. Use an eVisa entry point marked Yes. For travelers who want to keep the eVisa path, the cleanest option is to enter through a port that the official list currently marks Yes for eVisa entry: KTI, SAI, Bavet, Tropaeng Kreal, or Sihanoukville International Airport.

2. Rework the Thailand-Cambodia itinerary. If the route was Bangkok to Siem Reap or Thailand to Koh Kong, compare the cost and timing of flying to Cambodia with changing to a different land plan. For same-week travel, check the broader Thailand-Cambodia border status guide before locking transport.

3. Check whether another visa route fits. If you cannot use an eVisa entry point that the official list marks Yes, look at the official visa options for that crossing before you travel. eVisa entry support and the actual border operation are separate checks.

eVisa Entry Point Is Not The Same As Border Status

A port marked Yes for eVisa entry means the official list currently supports eVisa entry there. It does not prove the road is operating normally on your exact travel date.

For land travel, check all three layers:

• eVisa layer: does the official port list currently support eVisa entry there?
• border layer: is this crossing operating for foreign travelers today?
• transport layer: is the bus, private car, or flight route actually running?

This distinction matters most near Thailand-Cambodia border routes because travel advisories, local restrictions, and bus schedules can change faster than a general travel blog page.

e-Arrival Is A Separate Step

Cambodia eVisa and Cambodia e-Arrival are separate tasks. The eVisa is the visa application. e-Arrival is the pre-arrival digital declaration for traveler, immigration, health, and customs details.

All travelers are required to complete Cambodia e-Arrival. The free declaration can be submitted within seven days before arrival or on arrival. Treat it as a separate step from the eVisa entry-point decision whether you travel by air or land. For the declaration and QR process, use the Cambodia e-Arrival QR code guide.

Reducing Repeated Data Entry

Land-border planning often changes late, and each change means rechecking passport, date, accommodation, transport, and contact fields. After you confirm the official port list and the entry point you can use, a form-filling tool such as eVisaFlow Southeast Asia can help reuse saved traveler, trip, stay, and contact details. It does not replace the port, fee, payment, or submission checks on the official page.

Use the official page for the actual port choice, fee, payment, and submission.
