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).[2]
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.[3]
Required documentsedit
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:
Valid Cambodian identity card.
Proof of residency (any one of below): a. Family Record Book, or b. Resident Book, or c. Proof of residency letter.
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.
Appearanceedit
The Cambodian government began issuing new biometric passports in 2014.[1] The design of the passports has received some changes. The passport has a brown cover with the coat of arms of Cambodia on the front. Above the coat of arms is the inscription "KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA" in Khmer, English and French. Below the coat of arms is the inscription "PASSPORT" in three languages.
The passport is printed in three languages: Khmer, English and French.
