Your circumstances first

Local advice for the position you are in today.

Living in Phnom Penh can make it easier to arrange a discussion, but residence, work permission and citizenship remain different questions. Your length of stay, family circumstances and documents need to be considered in the context of the particular issue you want to resolve.

SK Law Office is based in the Kim Hap Building on Mao Tse Tung Boulevard. Contact the team to request an appointment and describe whether you need a citizenship assessment, help understanding passport eligibility, or advice about a separate immigration matter. Mention any expiry date or deadline at the outset.

A focused assessment

Questions that matter for Phnom Penh enquiries.

Already living in Cambodia

Prepare a brief timeline of your stay and describe the documents you currently hold. Explain any changes in family circumstances, work or business activity relevant to the enquiry, without assuming that time spent in Cambodia establishes nationality.

Questions about family and nationality

If your concern involves family connections or civil-status records, describe the relationship and the records available. A lawyer can identify the questions and evidence that need review before advising on a proposed next step.

Passport assistance after eligibility

Regular Cambodian passport registration concerns Cambodian citizens. If you need passport help, first establish the nationality position and the nature of the document issue. The office can discuss whether the requested support is within an appropriate engagement.

Prepare for your consultation

Make an office appointment useful from the start.

Call +855 23 900 477 or email info@sk-laws.com to request a consultation. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 08:00–17:00, Cambodia time. Confirm an appointment and the documents requested before visiting; an online enquiry is not confirmation that the firm has agreed to act.

Citizenship first. Passport eligibility next.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Phnom Penh office?

SK Law Office is at Kim Hap Building, 2nd Floor, Mao Tse Tung Blvd, Sangkat Tuol Svay Prey 2, Khan Boeng Keng Kang, Phnom Penh. Contact the team to confirm an appointment before visiting.

Does living in Cambodia for several years automatically qualify me?

Do not treat residence alone as an eligibility decision. The relevant nationality route, personal circumstances and supporting records require assessment. Ask about citizenship separately from any permission to stay or work.

Can I ask about a visa or work document at the same meeting?

Yes, explain all the issues and deadlines when arranging the appointment. The team can discuss whether immigration, employment or other advice needs to be included in the proposed scope.

What if a document is about to expire?

Contact the office promptly and state the exact date. Sending an enquiry does not extend a permission or preserve a deadline. The lawyer must review the relevant facts before advising on action.
