Cambodian passport

The Cambodian passport (លិខិតឆ្លងដែនកម្ពុជា) is issued to citizens of Cambodia for international travel.

Since 17 July 2014, the Cambodian government introduced the new biometric passport, which is now valid for 10 years.

Fees
The application fee for a Cambodian passport is the highest among all Asian countries and one of the highest in the world. Since the launch of the new biometric passport in 2014, the application fee has been lowered to US$100 for a 10-year passport, and $80 for a 5-year passport (only issued to children aged 5 and below).

Previously, the machine readable passport cost $135 with a validity of only three years (extendable twice for every two years), and the processing time ranged from 55 days to more than two months. In comparison, a Vietnamese passport with 10-year validity costs only $15 and the processing time is only two weeks. The current processing fee for the 10-year passport, however, has decreased 65 percent compared to the old machine-readable passport.

Required documents
Processing a Cambodian passport requires the applicant to produce 2 other documents as a proof of citizenship as well as residency.

Below are the 2 requirements: As a side note, the proof of residency letter can be produced by district officers around the applicant's area as long as they are able to provide enough evidence of their residency.
