Fees
The application fee for 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 is 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 costed $135 with a validity of only three years (but can be extendable twice for every two years), and the processing time ranged from 55 days to more than two months (although expedited services were available, and the fee could raise to $300 for three-day processing). 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 for over 65 percent comparing to the old machine-readable passport.[3]
Visa requirements
In 2016, Cambodian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 50 countries and territories, ranking the Cambodian passport 87th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.
