Be careful what you wish for, I said it before but will repeat it, some countries do NOT allow dual citizenship and you might risk losing your original passport. Even if the Cambodian Royal Government gave me a passport for free PLUS 25K USD I would not accept....
And about visa free travel in the Asean, it's simply not true - the Cambodian passport will allow relatively short stays to some- and not for all Asean countries.

For instance, for Thailand only 14 days (28 for most Western passports), Hong Kong still requires a visa (3 months exemption for most Western passports), etc.

Why not just give us the contacts to the agency then? I typically don't pay for my visa but might have to soon. As for citizenship, I would have been interested ten years ago but now no longer see it as beneficial to me. Would still be interested in knowing which place supposedly does it. Especially since HE said a few months back that they'd clamp down on those purchasing citizenship.Miguelito wrote:The agency that quoted me was the same agency brought up elsewhere on the forum that can get 1 year visas for $190, which I obtained without hassle, despite the naysayers here doubting it.LexusSchmexus wrote:I highly doubt the $25 000 claim.

I contacted an agency referenced in a detailed thread on this site for the year extension visa, received that visa, and furthermore received their quote and explanation on K visa and Citizen services. Any astute reader would already know which agency this is, and for those that don't, feel free to PM me. I don't think it's my position to publish their private email to me regarding this subject, especially given your last sentence.LexusSchmexus wrote:Why not just give us the contacts to the agency then?

This is not true, there's language test. They said it's not hard when you're married but it's still there and your wife can't help.Miguelito wrote:There is not always a language requirement; for example, if you get citizenship through marriage, there is no language requirement.
Pardon my engrish, thanks you.

5yrs ago i go to MoFA ask about this and they said same as you. Two years ago i find correct office to ask about citizenship and they tell different than MoFA.Miguelito wrote:Legally you are mistaken.raendi wrote:This is not true, there's language test.

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again...
Not one single person has ever attained citizenship by the supposedly legal routes of having lived in the kingdom for the required time, speaking the language etc. It's just pure myth.
I know several people with KC. Not a single one paid a single dollar for it.
The last friend of mine who got KC in 2015 was close to Hun Manet and was told..effectively...he was about the last foreigner that was going to get a KC.
Marry someone connected, do something amazing for the country and the people or, in the case of Ms Chopstick Head, prostrate yourself and beg the big boy like a bitch.

Rated R for Ricecakes
cheapest I have heard is 30k, from a very reliable source, if you know the right people then there are no requirements. Just the monay!
