Guia Expatriação: Camboja 2026

Cambodia is one of Southeast Asia's most accessible expat destinations — ultra-low cost of living, a fully dollarised economy (USD used everywhere), relatively straightforward residency via business or ordinary visa, and Phnom Penh and Siem Reap offer surprisingly vibrant expat communities.

🛂 Visa & Opções de Residência

Tipo de VistoDetalhes
E-Visa (T class / Tourist)Available online at evisa.gov.kh. 30 days, single entry, extendable once for 30 days. Custo: $30 + $6 processing fee.
Ordinary Visa (E class)Available on arrival or online. 30 days, can be extended multiple times. The 'E' visa is the basis for most long-term stays. Extensions: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year (multiple entry possible on 1-year extension).
Business Visa (EB class)For those conducting business. Extendable for 1 year multiple entry. Popular with expat business owners and remote workers.
Retirement ExtensionNo specific retirement visa, but those 55+ can apply for a 1-year 'retirement' extension of their ordinary visa. Requires proof of $1,500/month income or $50,000 in bank.
CAMKIDS Visa (for families)Specific category for foreign family members of Cambodian nationals.

Processo Passo a Passo

  1. Apply for E-Visa online before travel OR obtain visa on arrival at Phnom Penh / Siem Reap airports
  2. For long-term stay: extend your E-class visa at an immigration agent or the Department of Immigration
  3. Most expats use an immigration agent (~$200–350/year for 1-year multiple-entry EB extension)
  4. Register your address at the local sangkat (commune) office
  5. Obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) at the General Department of Taxation if working
💡 Dica Pro: Cambodia's visa system is very foreigner-friendly. A 1-year multiple-entry business extension (~$300 via an agent) is the de facto 'digital nomad visa'. No minimum stay requirement, no income proof needed at most immigration offices.

🏥 Saúde em Camboja

Saúde Pública

Cambodia's public healthcare system is very limited. Most public hospitals lack basic equipment and medicines. Expats should use private hospitals for all care beyond minor issues.

Saúde Privada

Private hospitals in Phnom Penh (Royal Rattanak Hospital, Sen Sok International University Hospital, Naga Clinic, Sunrise Japan Hospital) provide adequate to good care. Siem Reap has Royal Angkor International Hospital. For serious conditions, Bangkok is the standard evacuation destination (~1 hour by plane).

Typical Custos

ServiçoCusto
Private Consulta clínico geral$25–60
Consulta especialista$50–100
Emergency room (private Phnom Penh)$100–500
Hospitalisation (private, per night)$200–600
Limpeza dentária$25–50
Medical evacuation to Bangkok$5,000–20,000 (without insurance)
ℹ️ Recomendado: As with Laos, medical evacuation insurance is essential in Cambodia. For anything beyond routine care, Bangkok's Bumrungrad or Samitivej hospitals are the standard destination.

🛡️ Seguro de Saúde in Cambodia

International health insurance is not required for any visa category in Cambodia but is essential for safety. The combination of limited local facilities and proximity to excellent Thai hospitals makes evacuation coverage critical.

🏦 Abrir uma Conta Bancária in Cambodia

Cambodia's fully dollarised economy makes banking straightforward — USD accounts are the norm. Account opening is relatively easy for foreigners, even on tourist visa at some banks.

Documentos Necessários

  • Passaporte válido
  • Cambodian visa (tourist may be accepted at ABA Bank)
  • Comprovante de endereço (guesthouse or rental contract)
  • Cambodian phone number (for app)
  • Depósito inicial ($100–500 for most account types)

Processo Passo a Passo

  2. Present passport and visa
  3. Complete account opening form
  4. Account opened same day in most cases
  5. Download ABA Mobile app — one of the best banking apps in Southeast Asia

🏠 Comprar Imóvel in Cambodia

Foreigners CANNOT own land in Cambodia, but the law was amended in 2010 to allow foreigners to own condominium units on the 2nd floor and above (not ground floor or land). Workarounds include 50-year long-term leases and Cambodian company structures.

Options for Foreigners

Condominium Ownership (freehold)
Foreign ownership permitted from the 2nd floor upward in approved condominium buildings. Growing inventory in Phnom Penh. Sihanoukville and Siem Reap also have options.
Long-term Lease (50 years, renewable)
Land and houses can be leased for 50 years, renewable for another 50. Common for villas and townhouses.
Cambodian Company (99% practical)
Many foreigners form a Cambodian company (with a Cambodian nominee director holding 51% of shares on paper). Legal but carries risk if done improperly.
LMAP-Titled Land via Cambodian spouse
Land held in a Cambodian spouse's name. Common but risky without legal protections.

Processo de Compra

  1. Hire a reputable Cambodian real estate lawyer
  2. Verify the title (LMAP Title — the most secure type; avoid Soft Title)
  3. For condos: check building is registered with MLMUPC as foreigner-eligible
  4. Sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and pay deposit
  5. Lawyer conducts due diligence: title, permits, developer reputation
  6. Sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA)
  7. Transfer at the relevant authority and receive your ownership certificate

Typical Custos

ItemCusto
Transfer tax (registration fee)4% of property value
Imposto de selo0.1% of registered value
Notarisation~$200–500
Honorários do advogado$1,000–3,000
Annual property tax0.1% of assessed value above $25,000
Annual rental income tax (if renting out)14% withholding tax
💡 Dica Pro: Only buy condos in Cambodia — they are the only truly secure form of foreign property ownership under Cambodian law. Leasehold villas and company-held land carry significant legal risk. In Phnom Penh, Boeung Keng Kang (BKK1) and Tonle Bassac are the most expat-friendly neighbourhoods.
