Summary

  • Cambodia’s mixed 'planned economy with markets' framework continues to support strong urban expansion, particularly in Phnom Penh.

  • The capital’s rapidly developing skyline reflects major office, retail and residential investment, reinforcing its position as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic cities.

  • Expatriates typically choose serviced apartments with 30 to 150 sqm layouts and rental prices between USD $400 and USD $5,000, depending on location and facilities.

  • The country’s visa system offers multiple entry categories with official USD $30 to $35 fees for short-term and ordinary/business visa applications.

  • Phnom Penh’s transport system includes 17 public bus lines and growing ride-hailing usage, improving urban mobility and accessibility.

  • Cambodia’s dual-currency environment, where the Khmer Riel co-exists with the US Dollar, simplifies everyday transactions for newcomers.

  • Key expatriate areas such as Chamkarmon, BKK 1 and Daun Penh remain highly sought after due to proximity to retail hubs, international schools and dining districts.
