If you are looking at land for sale in Kandal Province then it is a good idea to first take a look at our page on Land for Sale in Cambodia for a general introduction.
Foreigners are not allowed to purchase land in Cambodia, although they can acquire title in a condo (see Condo for Sale in Cambodia). However, there are ways around this such as using a nominee structure or registering a holding company to purchase the property. The holding company route can be appropriate for large commercial purposes.
If you are considering exploiting this loophole, we really do recommend that you seek legal advice first.
