passport
The Cambodian passport (Khmer: លិខិតឆ្លងដែនកម្ពុជា) is issued to citizens of Cambodia for international travel.
Since 17 July 2014, the Cambodian government introduced the new biometric passport, which is now valid for 10 years.
Fees
The application fee for a Cambodian passport is the highest among all Asian countries and one of the highest in the world. Since the launch of the new biometric passport in 2014, the application fee has been lowered to US$100 for a 10-year passport, and $80 for a 5-year passport (only issued to children aged 5 and below).
Previously, the machine readable passport cost $135 with a validity of only three years (extendable twice for every two years), and the processing time ranged from 55 days to more than two months. In comparison, a Vietnamese passport with 10-year validity costs only VNĐ100,000 (US$4.32) and the processing time is at least 8 working days. The current processing fee for the 10-year passport, however, has decreased 65 percent compared to the old machine-readable passport.

The linked authority identifier is Q3438438. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014.
