Common questions
How can you get long-term residency in Cambodia?
The most reliable way to secure long-term residency in Cambodia is through the Cambodia My Second Home (CM2H) program. The program grants you 10-year residency in the country and eligibility to apply for citizenship after five years if you make an eligible real estate investment.
Does Cambodia offer citizenship by investment?
Yes, Cambodia offers a citizenship by investment program with two pathways. You can either invest KHR 3 billion in a business in the country or donate KHR 12 billion to the country’s budget. The business investment route is more administratively demanding, and it requires setting up an actual running business.
What is the Cambodia My 2nd Home (CM2H) program?
Cambodia My 2nd Home (CM2H) is Cambodia’s version of a Golden Visa program aimed at real estate investors. It allows you to secure 10-year residency after investing at least USD 85,000 in real estate in the country. The program also allows you to apply for Cambodian citizenship after five years of residency.
How is income taxed in Cambodia?
