Cambodia is a beautiful, exotic country that has much to offer investors—a stable economy, a low cost of living, and friendly people. This year, the Cambodian government has made it easier for foreigners to invest in the country by creating the Cambodia My 2nd Home (CM2H) program. Under this program, foreign investors can buy property in Cambodia and get visas that let them and their families live there permanently. If you’re thinking about investing in Cambodia, here’s everything you need to know about the CM2H program.
What is Cambodia My 2nd Home (CM2H) Program
Cambodia My 2nd Home (CM2H) was started by the Khmer Home Charity Association (KHCA), which is the only group that the Kingdom of Cambodia officially recognizes. CM2H aims to show the world the beauty of Cambodia. People from all over the world can sign up for CM2H membership to get a wide range of services and advice in areas like immigration, business, education, families, etc.
The purpose of this law was to make it possible for foreigners to live in Cambodia for a long time and to attract foreign investors to invest there.
How the CM2H program works
Under the CM2H program, foreigners are granted a Cambodia visa that allows them to stay in the country for up to 10 years. The right to buy a home and the right to health care and education are other benefits that immigrants can get. The program has been successful at getting investors from all over the world, and its efforts to help the Cambodian economy have been praised.
