As an American, I’ve lived here in Cambodia for 2 years on the “ER retirement visa” which is good for 1 year at a time and renewable forever from within the country. No need to ever leave if you don’t want to. It’s a multiple-entry visa and there are no requirements or even questions asked other than you age. 55 and older qualifies you 100%. Cost is $180 at immigration or $290 at any travel agency. English is spoken and the US dollar is used!
I love Cambodia, it's utterly lawless but as a British citizen I wouldn't get a Cambodian passport until I got a second tier 1 passport as I don't trust British gov to not cancel my British passport for wrong think.
Your country treated me well (I'm Canadian). Seems like the CANZUK countries are headed to hell. EU isn't looking so great either. imo, a 2nd world country's passport probably is best at this point. Argentina has a great one. Combined with an EU residence permit and your UK passport, I'd say you're golden. Good luck. What a disgrace the state of our nations.
@@nomadcapitalist I'm not sure why you're blocking my comments. The information in this video is factually inaccurate. I can only assume that cm2h reached out to you and offered you the 10 percent commission for every cm2h program you help sell. But people rely on you for accurate information and in my opinion its not worth misleading g your subscribers. There is absolutely no passport or citizenship benefits with cm2h program. This program is being misrepresented as a pathway to citizenship. It is not. If you purchase this program and then "apply" for your passport after 5 years you still need a 250 to 300k donation to the government.
This is something I would definitely jump on! It allows me to travel around southeast Asia, emerging market, a back pocket citizenship....fits the bill
Cambodia has always allowed naturalization by investment It's in their constitution But believe it was 250k Angelina Jolie has Cambodia citizenship 100k is very reasonable
I rolled my eyes when Andrew first said Cambodia, but by the end, it sounded reasonable and made some sense. Cambodia is part of ASEAN, the world's 4th largest economic block (behind #1 RCEP, #2 USMCA, #3 EU). Plus ASEAN is also part of RCEP, by far the world's biggest trade block. RCEP has been actually ratified by 16 countries, and it comprises a total of almost 40% of the real global economy & population (RCEP is the China-based successor to the US-based TPP bloc that was aborted 6 years ago). India could join RCEP next, as could some BRICS nations including the new BRICS wannabes of Saudi Arabia and UAE that applied to BRICS this month after Biden's miserable meeting with Saudi's Crown Prince MBS... The future is East!!
Yeah I'm pretty sure India doesn't want anything to do with China considering they are basically perpetually invading them and salami slicing off territory...
@@rodiculous9464 Wrong. India has already joined the China-centric BRICS and China-based SCO Shanghai Cooperative Organization. Hard to ignore the world's largest real economy, that now does 3X as much business globally as the faltering #2 US.
@@rodiculous9464 Those are just occasional border flare-ups along an undefined border; skirmishes that are relatively minor compared to the massive bloody wars that the West is repeatedly engaged in. Pretty certain that India and nobody wants anything to do with with the US quagmire that's been at war for all but a handful of years during its entire existence. India warmly welcomed the top Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi earlier this year and arranged a Modi-Xi summit for later. Read the senior Indian ambassador's blog "Indian Punchline" to get a different perspective on Indian geopolitics, as the western MSM dishes up only lies and propaganda lol.

It's posh! No queuing at immigration of course, we have our own lanes and counters, I laugh while I watch pilots queuing for longer than me!
The local traditional food in Cambodia is by far the best (at least I think so). You need to speak the language and you won't find much of it in restaurants. It's almost as if they are shy about it because it has a lot of prahok in it (Cambodian fish paste). I honestly have never found better food than home cooked Cambodian food.
No no no , the food is trash I prefer Vietnam and China but Cambodia has a lot of market and business potential if you own a restaurant there for locals and tourists
Get a grip. Go there and then tell me how it's 'the next Singapore'. I can't think of a country in the region less likely to become like Singapore, except maybe Burma. You understand right that there are still thousands of landmines in Cambodia and some disturbing % of the population are on crutches with 1 leg? You understand right that to become smart you have to have smart parents and they murdered anyone with a book? Get a grip, really.
Well, I never even got a response to my inquiry on the Cambodian website - as a comparison, when I got the Thai Elite Visa a few years ago, everything went very smoothly from start to finish. Telling.
This is because there is no Passport or citizenship with this program. It was all misleading information . The government in Cambodia is trying to clean up its image and Im sure will be cracking down on this program and yt channels promoting false information.
From initial email to paying for my Thailand Elite was something like 12 days. I flew in a few days later and they affixed my visa in 10 mins and I was done. Thailand Elite is underrated by people who can't afford it and the commision is not enough for Andrew to speak about Thailand in a fair way.
Unrelated to the topic, Andrew, as a noted fan of Serbia, what do you think about all the undocumented migrants in the country and their effect on public safety?
i'll wait for the real estate route before applying for a cambodia citizenship. what is cambodia's tax system? I hope they don't have capital gain tax, estate tax, wealth tax too like in st.kitts. 😉👍
I checked the website and registration form of cambodian my 2nd home. The registration fee is 30000 dollars. I suspect this is added to the investment of 100.000 dollars.
@@natashaevanoff7111 If i marry a local I would pay at the most 10000 for the wedding and perhaps 5000 for all paperwork involved. Then 3 years later if i have lived legally in Cambodia I can become a citizen and enjoy all the rights and privileges allotted to Cambodians such as voting for Hun Sen in elections and the ability to own farmland in Ratanakiri or Mondulkiri.
i have lived in Cambodia for almost 7 years. although it aint perfect( No country is) it is still a place that I can call home. It has great weather if you like hot and humid, the most beautiful girls in the world(I love brown-eyed, black-haired, and swarthy women with wonderful personalities) and where obesity is not a huge problem( Cant get fat off eating rice and fish). When you buy meat, eggs, vegetables, and fruit you know it is farm-raised. The only negative about Cambodia is that if you teach English here you will not earn as much as you might if you lived in Vietnam, China, or Turkey but this is fine because it is in the middle of a great market for teaching as one can easily work in the mentioned countries and then come to Cambodia to relax and apply for visas when the contracts are finished.

Nothing like being greeted at night by the sound of Tokay lizards, crickets, and farm animals instead of the street crime, vulgar language, and ambulance sirens one is accustomed to in developed countries.
Or you can just flat out pay for citizenship in Cambodia with about 50 grand over the table. Why would you waste so much money on only a 10 year non-citizenship option?
Nope not correct at all. 250k will buy your citizenship here, not 50k. And unfortunately the information in the video is also not totally accurate. There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the cm2h program and gaining naturalised citizenship. There is no passport offered with this cm2h program. In the video he states that "after 5 years you are eligible for citizenship". This is incorrect, after 5 years you are eligible to APPLY for a passport. The fee for gaining a passport in cambodia is still a 245,000-300,000 usd donation to the government, whether you paid 100k for cm2h program or not.
I’m following the news about this program, but I don’t see the added value in it. It was already possible to get Cambodian citizenship by naturalization after living there legally for 5 years, as far as I know, so what is the difference? Getting EB visa extension for 5 years is no longer as easy as it was 10 years ago, but still it’s easier than paying 100k. There were rumours that the difference is about the requirement of learning the language, which applies in case of normal naturalisation. If that was the case, that would be the only added value, and personally I don’t think it’s worth paying 100k as learning Khmer is useful for getting around there anyway.
How is it not easy? You simply go to a travel agent and give him 300USD and a week later you have a 12-month visa. This is how I avoid having to return to the USA when I want to get visas to go to China or Russia. Cambodia is 1000x more pleasant to live in than the USA, Canada, Australia, or any Western European country but less so than China , Vietnam or Russia. I love working in China and i also like the governments of China, Vietnam and Russia.i also like that if i become a citizen of these countries I can join their communist parties and work my way up the ranks to General Secretary if i so choose. Then I can go into the Security Council and shake my fist while banging my shoe on the table and tell the USA there will be no more sanctions on Iran and how we must crush the West.
I'd love to know the current numbers on MM2H compared to the old program? Just how many new applicants are there? One agency said they had a single applicant since the new program started??
Found this on a Google search, for what it's worth: "In response to questions raised in Parliament, Minister of Home Affairs Hamzah Zainudin recently admitted that they had received just 267 applications for the MM2H visa since the new requirements were imposed. - 6 Aug 2022"
@@dwtn164 not accepting new applications - visa agencies are being re-vetted. The whole program is in a state of flux. Since the initial rollout in December - requirements have changed and likely to change again before it fully starts again. It’s almost like the government doesn’t really want mm2H holders anymore.
@@tinglestingles..yep the problem with Malaysia govt..is they keep changing their minds, changing rules and give the impression they want the western money but not the ppl to go with it. I also think thr govt is very mindful of the Malay vote .... Likely why the previous scheme was changed to require 40k+ RM per month..which was utterly crazy
Andrew, the key driver in Cambodia is China. I was there in 2015 and the Chinese were building everywhere. The same in Laos and Burma, they are the big elephant. That is good as they will continue to invest in Cambodia. So you have an indirect China play.
Can you please do a video on what you would recommend the average American do if he were to hit the Mega millions jackpots 4 / one billion dollars. Where would we want to start? I'm not asking for specifics as to what you would invest in, but maybe what portion would you invest versus diversifying amongst bank accounts or or other options?
“Parts of Phnom Penh remind me of Singapore.” 🤣🤣🤣 Yeahhhh bro.. that’s kinda what happens when Singapore based its city planning off of PP. the French built it back in the day
I have US and Filipino citizenship. Do you think there are any benefits that stand out? I know Philippines passport is quite limiting when it comes to visa free travel.
I’m a dual American and Filipino citizen also. In terms of travel, as a Filipino citizen you can easily travel to certain countries that may require American citizens a visa or in some cases prohibit Americans, such as Vietnam, Cuba, and Iran. In terms of property ownership, my Filipino citizenship allows me to own land in the Philippines.
Just how many Americans are moving overseas? I've talked to clients in jobs that I've had, and I've come across people who live mostly in Europe, Oceania, or South America. I look at statistics like the Census showing an 8 percent drop in the white population from 2010 to 2020. I don't think all of it is from people dying off. Then there is the FOX News story I saw about tens of thousands of Californians living in Portugal, and they didn't want them there. All of these things give the impression there is a flood of Americans leaving.
@@tommyd.7642 I am a US citizen. Never had a Vietnamese, Indian, or anything else. There are people of Indian background who are American and US citizens by birth. My heritage may be India, but I sure ain't Indian!!! My wife is the naturalized US citizen...get a life!!! I have never been harassed for being an American...the only place that harasses me for being American is India!!! My US passport says Illinois for place of birth!! BTW...I never had an Indian passport. India prohibits dual citizenship. For me, there is absolutely no value to have an Indian passport...no benefit.
Did you purchase the cm2h program? Do you live in Cambodia? Are you aware there is no passport or citizenship offered with cm2h passport? After 5 years when you 'apply' for your passport you still need to pay 250k usd regardless if you paid 100k for cm2h or not.
I think Cambodia is going to likely become my second citizenship mainly because I have a Cambodian girlfriend and we are likely going to live her after we are married. I will likely work in China for at least 10 years and invest my savings into Russian Treasury Bonds which are at 9% now and then when I am ready to retire I will do so in Cambodia where the climate in warm and the girls are pretty.

I am not trying to be a stoner etc. If I wanted that I could be doing that here in the U.S. I'm not trying to YOLO party. I sincerely value it for medical properties. Wondering about possible joint venture or smaller scale investment or small business idea. I image the more partnership with locals, the less possible animosity. Frankly I'm way more focused at the moment at being medically retired. However I see my health honestly improving and feel that they future could look different that how things have been going for the past several years. It VERY difficult giving my age and the fact that I don't have a huge lump sum to deposit into a lot of these countries. I wonder which countries would view my retirement pension as assent given that I have a permanent medical retirement (for all intents and purposes) no chance that change unless I become a high net earner again..even with that it might still remain depending on the circumstances.. anyways thanks 🙏.

There were rumours that the difference is about the requirement of learning the language, which applies in case of normal naturalisation. If that was the case, that would be the only added value, and personally I don’t think it’s worth paying 100k as learning Khmer is useful for getting around there anyway.
How is it not easy? You simply go to a travel agent and give him 300USD and a week later you have a 12-month visa. This is how I avoid having to return to the USA when I want to get visas to go to China or Russia. Cambodia is 1000x more pleasant to live in than the USA, Canada, Australia, or any Western European country but less so than China , Vietnam or Russia. I love working in China and i also like the governments of China, Vietnam and Russia.i also like that if i become a citizen of these countries I can join their communist parties and work my way up the ranks to General Secretary if i so choose. Then I can go into the Security Council and shake my fist while banging my shoe on the table and tell the USA there will be no more sanctions on Iran and how we must crush the West.
I'd love to know the current numbers on MM2H compared to the old program? Just how many new applicants are there? One agency said they had a single applicant since the new program started??
Found this on a Google search, for what it's worth: "In response to questions raised in Parliament, Minister of Home Affairs Hamzah Zainudin recently admitted that they had received just 267 applications for the MM2H visa since the new requirements were imposed. - 6 Aug 2022"
Applications dropped by over 90 %. Latest 2024 MM2H is better.. apparently
@@dwtn164 not accepting new applications - visa agencies are being re-vetted. The whole program is in a state of flux. Since the initial rollout in December - requirements have changed and likely to change again before it fully starts again. It’s almost like the government doesn’t really want mm2H holders anymore.
@@tinglestingles..yep the problem with Malaysia govt..is they keep changing their minds, changing rules and give the impression they want the western money but not the ppl to go with it. I also think thr govt is very mindful of the Malay vote .... Likely why the previous scheme was changed to require 40k+ RM per month..which was utterly crazy
Andrew, the key driver in Cambodia is China. I was there in 2015 and the Chinese were building everywhere. The same in Laos and Burma, they are the big elephant. That is good as they will continue to invest in Cambodia. So you have an indirect China play.
So then can you cancel your US citizenship and avoid US taxes while living in another?
The ability to buy real estate as an investment, (as a citizen) could be a big deal in coming years.
This video needs updating as the information provided on CM2H is not very accurate.
Can you please do a video on what you would recommend the average American do if he were to hit the Mega millions jackpots 4 / one billion dollars. Where would we want to start? I'm not asking for specifics as to what you would invest in, but maybe what portion would you invest versus diversifying amongst bank accounts or or other options?
The average American who won a billion dollars would be broke 5 years later probably
I already bought 2 hight end condos in Cambodia and I also speak Khmer ave English
Under your own name? Or using a Nominee?
What about wedding contract in Cambodgia? Is it exist? Because of you get married with a cambodgia women you can get the citizenship.
“Parts of Phnom Penh remind me of Singapore.” 🤣🤣🤣
Yeahhhh bro.. that’s kinda what happens when Singapore based its city planning off of PP. the French built it back in the day
Huh fun fact
Singapore based itself off London
I have US and Filipino citizenship. Do you think there are any benefits that stand out? I know Philippines passport is quite limiting when it comes to visa free travel.
I’m a dual American and Filipino citizen also. In terms of travel, as a Filipino citizen you can easily travel to certain countries that may require American citizens a visa or in some cases prohibit Americans, such as Vietnam, Cuba, and Iran. In terms of property ownership, my Filipino citizenship allows me to own land in the Philippines.
too much Chineese influence, kinda overwhelming..!
A Nice BUG loadout haven't been but soon will be patch is : Hong Kong + USA ...... Hopefully the next update of Earth Online didn't patch this bug.
What are the requirements for the Malaysian programme?
Check East Malaysia's Sarawak MM2H ....more affordable.
Hi. Which countries does it have visa-free access to? 🙂
You can look that up yourself
Russia is one and it would be enough to attract me.
Holiday in Cambodia
Just how many Americans are moving overseas? I've talked to clients in jobs that I've had, and I've come across people who live mostly in Europe, Oceania, or South America. I look at statistics like the Census showing an 8 percent drop in the white population from 2010 to 2020. I don't think all of it is from people dying off. Then there is the FOX News story I saw about tens of thousands of Californians living in Portugal, and they didn't want them there. All of these things give the impression there is a flood of Americans leaving.
Does anybody know how to get Brazilian Passport?
Marry a Brazilian

If only Vietnam ever did something like this....I'd get that 2nd passport. I am an American male married to a dual Vietnam/US wife.
@Rahul Iyer Rahul did you naturalize did the authorities take Indian citizenship form you
@@tommyd.7642 I am a US citizen. Never had a Vietnamese, Indian, or anything else. There are people of Indian background who are American and US citizens by birth. My heritage may be India, but I sure ain't Indian!!!
My wife is the naturalized US citizen...get a life!!!
I have never been harassed for being an American...the only place that harasses me for being American is India!!! My US passport says Illinois for place of birth!!
BTW...I never had an Indian passport. India prohibits dual citizenship.
For me, there is absolutely no value to have an Indian passport...no benefit.
@@tommyd.7642 Born American
Well, I just need to save 20 times what i have in the bank I guess......
A Plan C in my opinion or Plan D
It's almost like a donation. I was the first customer cm2h. You will get a 6sqm box only
Did you purchase the cm2h program? Do you live in Cambodia? Are you aware there is no passport or citizenship offered with cm2h passport? After 5 years when you 'apply' for your passport you still need to pay 250k usd regardless if you paid 100k for cm2h or not.
I think Cambodia is going to likely become my second citizenship mainly because I have a Cambodian girlfriend and we are likely going to live her after we are married. I will likely work in China for at least 10 years and invest my savings into Russian Treasury Bonds which are at 9% now and then when I am ready to retire I will do so in Cambodia where the climate in warm and the girls are pretty.
good luck with ruble inflation 🙃
What do you think about Hainan, China?
Cambodia country for sale really
Malaysian policy always change due to defferent goverment take over malaysia in short time some just 22 months thats why malaysia not more attractive for foriegn to stay as MH2.
Well done! If you know any any women in Thailand or Malaysia looking for a sincere marriage please let me know. Wishful thinking. Wondering how risky or feasible it would be for a foreigner to get involved in the cannabis industry in Thailand given the new laws. I am not trying to be a stoner etc. If I wanted that I could be doing that here in the U.S. I'm not trying to YOLO party. I sincerely value it for medical properties. Wondering about possible joint venture or smaller scale investment or small business idea. I image the more partnership with locals, the less possible animosity. Frankly I'm way more focused at the moment at being medically retired. However I see my health honestly improving and feel that they future could look different that how things have been going for the past several years. It VERY difficult giving my age and the fact that I don't have a huge lump sum to deposit into a lot of these countries. I wonder which countries would view my retirement pension as assent given that I have a permanent medical retirement (for all intents and purposes) no chance that change unless I become a high net earner again..even with that it might still remain depending on the circumstances.. anyways thanks 🙏. What happened to you TEA. Get some fair trade organic tea next time.
No enough information to make a decision.
Cambodia has very weak passport
first
Sorry Andrew: your replacement on video of investment in Romania is total let down for your channel.
Great stream, as always. I appreciate the level-headed approach you take to the news and the markets. A lot has changed and that's on everything but the truth is I don't even care much about bullish or bearish market anymore because Mr Richard got me cover as I am comfortably making 1.5B T C monthly.....
Honest question, I'm not making fun, but why do you say "bow-tique" instead of "boo-tique"?
