If you have money to buy over half a million plot, you probably have the money to buy the passport too. Also there are other ways to own the land.

Agreed if you are doing it just to be a regular citizen. However if you are doing property deals where the usual fee for a nominee is 3% of sales price you dont have to do many deals to make it pay (at old prices) for itself and to eliminate the potential fraud issues alluded to earlier.
Another reason (when it was much cheaper) would be to ensure a secure future in KOW without having to worry about future changes to requirements that could affect your right to remain.
If the government suddenly mirrored the Thai requirements there may be several people who could no longer prove their eligibility to remain, although in all honesty they probably couldnt have afforded $20k for a passport ever mind higher prices.
The final and surely most compelling reason is you get to pay the Khmer rate for your cintri garbage collection instead of the inflated foreigner one. That alone would pay for a $20k Cambodian passport in about 90 years

No matter what- if the pictures show the land for sale it's simply gorgeous! I wish I had the funds to invest. What would that be worth in 20 years? I believe 4x or 5x easily after the huge Chinese project is finished.
Still here, in country...

Re: Beachfront Land for Sale in Koh Rong Main Beach 1000 sqm
I know many westeners who have bought one. Some reasons being; they plan to stay in country for rest of their life, they own pretty big business here, and/or they have bought land for investment reasons (these guys own thousands of hectares). And I wouldn't call any of these guys stupid. And none of these guys are with empty pockets.WildA wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 11:09 amAnybody who would even pay 20 large for a cambo passport is either Chinese, North Korean, red noticed or just plain stupid.Element6 wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 9:44 amThat boat has all but sailed on getting a passport now.

Rich and smart until some strongman takes it away. No thanks. If I was going to invest a mill somewhere, it wouldn't be here. YMMV.rogerrabbit wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 4:28 pmI know many westeners who have bought one.

If you have good connections with the guys with the guns things are different. Having connections with the right people aka generals gives you a better investment safety as owning a land through a 20 dolla company with an rightless cambodian no name citizen on board.rogerrabbit wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 4:28 pmI know many westeners who have bought one.

Nominee fee is $100-1000 one time payment. However better is to go through the leagl way and setup a company. 100% safe. Foreign companies invest 100s of millions, even billions to Cambodia. If you don't be lazy and do everything legally, then you won't have a problem concerning safety of property. Buy hard title land in the name of your company and sign at the land department.Element6 wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 3:01 pmAgreed if you are doing it just to be a regular citizen.

It is not a workaround, it is the legal way to own a property as stated in Cambodian law.Dunderhead wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 2:13 pm Thanks for the info and although be I could be wrong that workaround suggested by the OP is illegal according to the letter can of the law.
