Real Client Success Stories: How We Helped 50+ Expats Register Companies, Buy Property & Secure Residency in Cambodia
Numbers are one thing. Real stories are another. Every client who comes to us faces a unique situation — a different nationality, different goals, different timelines, and different obstacles. Below are five detailed accounts from clients who trusted our licensed legal partners to navigate Cambodia's legal landscape on their behalf. Names are anonymized; outcomes are real.
Start Your StoryJohn D.
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.

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.

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.
Thomas B.
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.
Chen W.
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.
