The statement mentioned multiple-citizenship, which is open to interpretation. I know 2 is a multiple but maybe they mean more than that. A ban on dual citizenship would see a lot of annoying elements revoking their Cambodian citizenship, but would be a pain in the ass for other families who benefit from that status.

Bun Neang stressed that the investment requirement was also raised from at least 1.25 billion riel (about $312,000) in a government-approved project, to nearly $1 million.

Well I guess citizenship is not on the cards for myself then, even the 1,25 billion Riel price is way more than I have handy.

Preap Kol, executive director of Transparency International Cambodia, wrote on his Facebook page on Friday that the draft law should determine the amount of money that is proportional to the current market price,

and that foreigners who apply for Cambodian citizenship should not be able to hold multiple passports

.

I wonder what they mean by "multiple passports"? If they mean more than two that's understandable, but if they are trying to say they aren't encouraging dual citizenship that's worrying. I doubt there are too many people with $1 million who want to revoke their other citizenship, other than outlaws and crims.

so seems like he is saying u cant hold dual citizenship

ya count me in, I'll put up a million $$ and give up my US citizenship to be Khmer...

JUST for comparison. ( I am NOT saying Thailand is better)

to hold Thai citizenship

In all cases you will also have to fulfill the following conditions to apply for Thai citizenship:

You must have lived in Thailand continuously, for at least five years before applying.
Be a permanent resident.
Be 18 years old or older and have reached legal majority in your country of origin.
Be well behaved and have a good background (criminal record; political background; involvement with illegal drugs and, in the case of Vietnamese applicants, personal behaviour will be checked).
Know the Thai language, including speaking, listening and understanding.
Be able to sing the National Anthem Sanserm Phra Baramee and pass an interview in Thai conducted by government officers.

Citizen of western countries (i.e. US, UK, Canada, Australia, France) can have dual citizenship in most cases (e.g. Thai citizenship and their original nationality).

You must have a minimum income of 80,000 THB each month, although if you are married to a Thai citizen or have had a child born in Thailand then this is reduced to 30,000 each month.
In addition to the financial information already presented you will need to present information on your bank accounts, which should contain a minimum of 80,000 THB.
Among the others requirements, you will be expected to swear an oath and appear at your local police station dressed well and holding a candle, flowers and incense. You will have to swear allegiance to the King and to the country of Thailand

Easier to become a resident thou

Ewwww no thanks. Given a choice, I would unhesitatingly choose Cambodian or Russian citizenship to a US one, even if the latter came with a hypothetical bonus of a million USD.

Absolutely repelled by the idea of that blue passport option via any amount of money.
