How long does it take to process a DTV application at the Thai consulate in Phnom Penh?

@Tomasz *******

Walk-ins at Phnom Penh were 5 days prior to the switching to the e-visa system.

@Tomasz *******

the notice says starting Oct 22nd, the turnaround time is 10 days, implying this was not the policy prior to today. It also says those who submitted from the 15th onward might experience a delay (from the original turnaround time). Also sharing you the notice from Vietnam’s website saying their r-visa process is 5 days, which debunks your statement

@Tod ********

Yes,, Yangon is close to Jakarta within 3 days seems like but simple interview required.

@Tod ********

The Yangon appointment system was being abused by agents, hence why they shortened it to 14 days and removed the possibility of canceling until after the appointment date has passed.

The appointment system was being abused, hence why they reduced it down to 14 days from the previous 30 days.

The appointment thingy has never been an issue in Vietnam, but both in Laos (both consulates) and Yangon it's something that applicants and agents have been tinkering with, in some cases multiple slots were hoarded and then sold to folks. This has now largely been fixed, to the point that it's relatively straightforward to get an appointment now, at least in Laos.

You're right about Yangon also being swamped by local applicants, but I understand the primary reason for reducing the appointment forward bookings down to 14 days was due to the way the system was being abused. This is mentioned on the booking page of the Yangon embassy.
