Dubai & UAE · Cambodian citizenship & passport assistance
Cambodian legal guidance for people based in Dubai and across the UAE who are considering citizenship, passport eligibility or a future move to Cambodia.
Dubai brings together people with many different nationalities and residence arrangements. When enquiring about Cambodia, distinguish your country of citizenship from your UAE residence and from any family or business connections to Cambodia. These facts help identify the questions that need to be assessed.
Your plans may involve maintaining a UAE base while developing Cambodian interests, moving with family or exploring nationality for the longer term. Explain the intended activities and timing so that citizenship, residence, work and business issues can be considered in an organised way.
Tell the team which passport or passports you currently hold and where you are resident. Do not assume that UAE residence changes the Cambodian nationality assessment or that a programme associated with one country applies in another.
If your enquiry includes a Cambodian company, investment or business role, describe that separately from your personal citizenship objective. The lawyer can discuss whether corporate, employment or immigration advice needs to be coordinated.
For a family enquiry, outline who may relocate, where each person lives and which documents are available. Schooling, travel and personal schedules can affect practical preparation even when the legal questions are assessed individually.
An initial remote discussion can help organise the next steps. Ask the team to confirm the professional scope, relevant local advisers and document requirements before committing to travel, translations or a transaction.
A regular Cambodian passport is available to Cambodian citizens. If your nationality position has not been established, begin with the relevant eligibility questions before discussing passport registration.
For a fuller explanation of the distinction, documents, process and expectations, read our Cambodian citizenship and passport guide. If your immediate objective is permission to live or work in Cambodia, visit immigration and residency services.

Meet Samantha Yem →It addresses people based in Dubai and the UAE. Nationality and residence are different, so provide both in your enquiry. The advice and the firm’s ability to assist depend on the individual matter.
You can request an initial remote consultation. Whether later steps require attendance in Cambodia or other arrangements must be confirmed for the applicable route and documents.
An investment or business plan should not be treated as proof of nationality or passport eligibility. Explain the commercial objective and request a separate assessment of any citizenship question before relying on a proposed outcome.
The firm’s contact point for this service is its Phnom Penh office. This page supports enquiries from Dubai and the UAE; it does not describe a UAE office or imply a local licence there.
