Do I need to stay in Phnom Penh for a visa interview, or can I travel while waiting for approval in Cambodia?
Hey lovely DTV people!
Just a quick question to people who applied in Cambodia:
Do you need to stay in Phnom Phen for an interview on short notice? Or have you been able to travel in Cambodia while waiting for your approval?

Answer summary
You do not need to stay in Phnom Penh for the visa interview; you can travel around Cambodia while waiting for approval. However, make sure to return quickly if you are notified of an interview on short notice.

I was surprised how quick it was.i paid the fee and 3-4 days later I was called for an interview. Went really quick and they just want to see your current finances and that was it. He did mention that I spoke thai fairly well and asked how long I had studied. All good though

There is a chance to get an interview, but it's also possible to travel around Cambodia. Just make sure you can return quickly for the interview.
