Cambodia grants citizenship to foreign nationals who make a qualifying investment or donation and meet the conditions in its Nationality Law. There is no nationality bar that excludes Egyptian applicants as of June 2026, but the qualifying amounts changed recently, as described below.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
There is no nationality rule that excludes Egyptian applicants. Cambodia allows the holding of more than one citizenship, so an applicant is not generally required to renounce another nationality. Applicants must show the legal source of their funds and pass the checks the authority applies.
Approval rests with the official authority and is discretionary. Meeting the investment or donation figure does not guarantee a grant. Confirm the current eligibility and document rules with the official authority before you commit.
The two broad routes are a qualifying investment into approved sectors of the Cambodian economy and a donation to the national budget. The reported 2025 reform raised both thresholds well above the earlier levels.
Because the figures were revised recently and may still be settling, confirm which route applies and the exact current amounts with the official authority rather than relying on older published numbers.
Cambodia has historically processed these applications within several months for a complete file, with no requirement to reside in the country to qualify. The recent reform introduced a fast track framework alongside the standard process.
Timelines may shift while the new rules bed in. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
The dominant cost is the qualifying investment or the donation. Government processing fees, due diligence and professional fees are separate. Because the thresholds were revised in late 2025, use the table as a prompt to confirm each current figure with the official authority.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Investment into approved sectors | Confirm the current threshold with the official authority | Raised under the 2025 reform |
| Donation to the national budget | Confirm the current threshold with the official authority | Raised under the 2025 reform |
| Government and processing fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Separate from the investment |
| Professional costs | Varies by case | Set independently |
Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Royal Government of Cambodia, administered through the Ministry of Interior publishes the binding detail. Verify before you act.
Yes. As of June 2026 there is no nationality bar, and Cambodia recognises dual citizenship, so renouncing another nationality is not generally required. Confirm with the official authority.
Reforms reported as effective 1 December 2025 raised the qualifying thresholds for both the investment and donation routes. The exact current figures should be confirmed with the official authority rather than older sources.
Historically there has been no residence requirement to qualify. Confirm the current rules and any oath or document steps with the official authority.
