Cambodia allows naturalisation by qualifying investment or donation under its Law on Nationality. Filipino nationals can apply on the same basis as other foreign investors. The thresholds were reportedly revised, so this page sets out the current position and routes you to confirm the figures.
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.
Filipinos are eligible. There is no reported nationality bar, so a Filipino applicant is assessed on the qualifying investment or donation and the background checks rather than on citizenship.
For investor applicants, the usual naturalisation conditions such as a residency period and Khmer language knowledge are reported to be waived. Confirm the live eligibility rules and any conditions with the Ministry of Interior.
Two broad paths exist under the law. One is a qualifying investment in the country. The other is a personal cash donation to the national budget for socio economic development. Reporting in 2026 indicates both thresholds were raised. Older guides cite much lower figures that may no longer apply.
Because the amounts were reportedly revised, do not rely on a fixed number from secondary sources. Confirm the current investment and donation thresholds directly with the Ministry of Interior before committing any money.
Applications are processed by the Department of Immigration, which verifies documents and conducts background checks, with final approval by Royal Decree. Reporting describes an evaluation that can take around six months, though timing varies. Confirm the current processing time with the Ministry of Interior.
The thresholds were reportedly increased, so figures from older sources may be out of date. We do not restate a fixed amount here. Confirm the current investment and donation levels, plus government and professional fees, with the Ministry of Interior and a licensed professional.
