How long does it typically take to get a DTV visa approved at the embassy in Phnom Penh?

Approved in Phnom Penh, Cambodia after ~22 business days.

Applied on Oct 6. Embassy requested more docs on Oct 7. Pending approval since Oct 8 or 9. And then approved on Nov 7.

Took way longer than expected. I called one time to ask for an update, and they said they would look into it. A week later, nothing. Called again today, and they approved it within an hour.

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
