QIP applications: forms and checklist
Access English and Khmer application forms and the bilingual checklist.
When applying for QIP status, use the checklist to prepare documents for the relevant service of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) or the Municipal-Provincial Investment Sub-Committee (MPIS).
English and Khmer application forms and a bilingual checklist are available below. The forms can be downloaded in DOCX format.
Preparing your application
- Confirm eligibility and submission requirements with the relevant CDC or MPIS service.
- Download the form in the required language and prepare documents against the bilingual checklist.
- Submit according to the responsible authority’s instructions and follow its requests for additional or updated documents.
What QIP means and where to submit
QIP means Qualified Investment Project. Confirm the receiving channel, project category and supporting documents with the one-stop services of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) or the Municipal-Provincial Investment Sub-Committee (MPIS), as applicable. Business registration, sector permissions and investment-project status do not replace one another.
Organise information using the supplied form
The English form separates company names, registered address, shareholders and directors from project information. Project fields include activities and sector, total investment and funding, location, construction and production dates, products and HS codes, annual capacity, domestic and export markets, staffing, energy and water. Keep registered capital distinct from total investment, and initial capacity distinct from full capacity, using the stated currencies and units.
Use the annexes with the checklist
The form includes annexes for equipment, production inputs, process flow and key input consumption. The checklist also covers company statutes, shareholder and director identification, documents relating to foreign members, site tenure or lease evidence, and building, factory, infrastructure and machinery plans. The two checklist pages are not identical: the Khmer corporate-shareholder section also lists a request to convert an ordinary company to QIP, which is not separately listed on the English page. Confirm applicability for the actual case.
Forms, checklists and handbook versions
The Khmer and English application files are DOCX exports of Google documents. The export date identifies the copy, not an official new edition or acceptance confirmation. The checklist does not state an original publication date. The 2023 handbook remains useful background, while forms, receiving authorities, fees, incentives and filing requirements need checking before submission. The investment-law briefing is not the full law.
