    John D.

    UK national · Technology consulting · 2025
    Company Registration (100% Foreign-Owned)
    I'd been researching how to set up my company in Cambodia for three months and kept going in circles on the CamDX portal. A colleague recommended this service and within 48 hours I had a lawyer on the phone with a clear plan. My Private Limited Company was fully registered — Ministry of Commerce certificate, Tax ID, MLVT — within 21 days. The team even helped me open my ABA corporate account with a full documentation package. I'm now operating legally and invoicing clients. The total cost came in at the lower end of the quoted range. Couldn't recommend more highly.
    Outcome
    Company registered in 21 days. Corporate bank account opened.

    Mei L.

    Singaporean national · Property investment · 2025
    Real Estate Purchase (Strata Title)
    I wanted to buy a condo in Phnom Penh as an investment and rental property but was nervous after reading horror stories about nominee arrangements. The legal team walked me through the Strata Title process thoroughly — verified the building had a proper registered strata subdivision plan, confirmed the developer held clean title, reviewed the Sale & Purchase Agreement, and negotiated two clauses I'd overlooked that could have cost me significantly. The transfer was completed cleanly with full documentation. My name is on the title. I now have a second unit under negotiation and won't use anyone else.
    Outcome
    Clean strata title transfer. Second purchase now in progress.

    David & Sarah K.

    American couple · Retirement · 2024
    CM2H Golden Visa Residency
    We'd been living in Cambodia for two years on rolling Business Visa extensions and wanted something more permanent for our retirement. The CM2H program was exactly what we needed — a 10-year renewable visa. Our lawyer assessed our situation, recommended an approved project that also gave us excellent rental yield, and prepared every document for the CIC application. We were approved in just under 4 months. Now we have the security to plan long-term — we've just enrolled our grandson in a local international school using our residency documents. This changed our lives.
    Outcome
    10-year CM2H Golden Visa approved in 4 months. Full family included.

    Thomas B.

    German national · Hospitality management · 2025
    Work Permit & Sponsorship
    I was hired as General Manager of a boutique hotel in Siem Reap. The hotel had employed foreigners before but had never properly handled the work permit process — previous managers had just worked on tourist visa extensions, which is both illegal and genuinely risky. The legal team sorted the entire compliance situation for me and the hotel: quota request via FWCMS, health check, MLVT work permit, NSSF registration. It was complete within 3 weeks. I also needed my Business Visa converted to a 12-month EG extension, which they handled simultaneously. First time in Cambodia I've felt fully legally compliant.
    Outcome
    Full MLVT work permit issued. 12-month Business Visa extension secured.

    Chen W.

    Chinese national · Import/export trading · 2026
    Corporate Banking & Tax Setup
    I had already registered my company before coming to this service, but I had no idea about the monthly tax obligations — VAT, prepayment tax, withholding tax. My accountant back home had no idea about Cambodian tax law. The legal team connected me with a GDT-accredited tax accountant who set up my entire compliance calendar, registered me for VAT (we turned out to be above the threshold), and explained the withholding tax obligations on payments to my overseas suppliers. They also helped me open accounts at both ABA and Canadia Bank. The amount of confusion and risk they removed was enormous. Now my monthly tax filings are handled and I can focus on the business.
    Outcome
    VAT registered, monthly tax calendar established, dual bank accounts opened.

    Why Clients Trust Our Legal Partners

    Behind every success story is a team of licensed, experienced Cambodian lawyers who understand both the letter of the law and the practical reality of doing business, living, and investing in the Kingdom. Here is what consistently makes the difference:

    Deep Local Relationships

    Direct working relationships with MLVT, MoC, CIC, Immigration Department, and GDT officials built over 15+ years ensure our applications receive proper attention.

    Bilingual Documentation

    All documents are prepared in both English and Khmer. This eliminates translation disputes and ensures Cambodian authorities can process applications without delays.

    Fixed-Fee Transparency

    We provide a written scope of work and fixed fee before starting. No surprise invoices. No "hourly billing" ambiguity. Clients know exactly what they will pay.

    Proactive Communication

    Weekly status updates as standard. WhatsApp direct lines to your assigned lawyer. Never waiting for emails — always knowing where your application stands.

    Post-Completion Support

    Our relationship doesn't end when your visa, permit, or certificate is issued. Ongoing compliance advice, renewals, and support are available to all clients.
