Official Government Framework & Program Overview
Cambodia My 2nd Home (CM2H) is an official long-term residency and investment program approved and administered by the Ministry of Interior of the Kingdom of Cambodia, in coordination with the General Department of Immigration.
The program was established to provide a structured, transparent, and compliant pathway for qualified foreign nationals seeking long-term residence, business access, and asset planning in Cambodia.
Government Endorsement & Oversight
CM2H operates under the authority and oversight of Cambodian government institutions, including:
- Ministry of Interior (MOI)
- General Department of Immigration (GDI)
All program procedures, eligibility reviews, and approvals are conducted in accordance with applicable Cambodian laws, regulations, and administrative practices.
CM2H is not a private residency scheme, nor a discretionary visa arrangement.
It is a formal government-recognized program with defined requirements, processes, and compliance standards.
Policy Objectives of the CM2H Program
The CM2H program was developed to support Cambodia’s long-term national objectives, including:
- Attracting long-term foreign residents with stable financial standing
- Encouraging foreign direct investment and business establishment
- Supporting economic diversification and job creation
- Enhancing Cambodia’s position as a regional business and lifestyle hub
CM2H aligns with Cambodia’s broader economic development strategies, including infrastructure development, private sector growth, and international economic integration.
Who the Program Is Designed For
CM2H is designed for foreign nationals who:
- Intend to establish a long-term presence in Cambodia

The program is not intended for short-term visitors or individuals seeking informal arrangements.
