Why Cambodia Attracts Investors

Cambodia operates one of the world's fastest citizenship-by-investment routes. Eligible applicants obtain a Cambodian passport in approximately 4 to 5 months through a one-time donation to the Royal Government of Cambodia, with no residency requirement, full dual citizenship rights, and remote processing via DHL Express delivery. The donation-based structure has been administered by the Royal Government since the 1996 Law on Cambodian Nationality, making it one of the longest-running citizenship-by-investment programs in Asia.

Cambodia anchors a fast-growing Southeast Asian corridor with a USD-pegged currency, territorial tax framework, and strategic ASEAN positioning.
