Cambodia, similar to many of its neighboring countries in the Indochina region, has legal restrictions on land ownership.

Cambodia recognizes the concept of private land ownership; however, under the Constitution and the Land Law, only those ‘persons with Cambodian nationality’ are permitted to own land.  A person with Cambodian nationality includes not only an individual with Cambodian citizenship but also an entity incorporated in Cambodia which Cambodian national(s) hold at least 51% of its voting shares as stipulated in the Law on Commercial Enterprises.
