The Cambodia Citizenship by Investment Programme An investment of 313,000 USD is enough to obtain the citizenship of the Kingdom of Cambodia through investment. This solution allows foreigners to live, start a business and buy land in Cambodia. Did you know that Angelina Jolie has a Cambodian passport? She got it for her humanitarian work among others. The main advantage of the Cambodian passport is the visa-free travel in several Asian countries, and the right to live and work in Cambodia. Also you can enter in 58 states without a visa with your Cambodian passport. Most of the investors, who obtained the Cambodian citizenship are Chinese and South Korean businesspeople, but there are several Australian, Japenese and Vietnamese applicants as well. Only Cambodian nationals can buy land and apply for government licenses and concessions.

Cambodia citizenship by investment option

Foreigners, who invest more than 1.25 billion riels (app. 313,000 USD) can obtain the Cambodian citizenship. The standard seven years residence requirement is waived for investors.

Cambodia citizenship by donation

Applicants can also get the Cambodian passport through donating one billion riels (app. 250,000 USD) to the national budget. It's important to note that language fluency is still a requirement. The process' cost can reach even the 75,000 USD limit. "Special achievements" (like in the case of Angelina Jolie) also qualify for the citizenship of Cambodia. Meanwhile, the process by the Interior Ministrytakes only two or three months. Foreigners may obtain the Cambodian citizenship through naturalisation, but the primary requisite is residing in the country for seven years. Fluency in the Khmer language is also a must (writing too). Another good advantage is that the investors' children will also become Cambodian citizens, independently from the state, where they were born.
