ORIGINAL POSTERFirst time seeing, request Cambodia visa extension. Instead of border bounce to Vietnam better to do extension when Cambodia visa is running out. Evisa website clearly states that must be in person which country u apply. Now DTV process in Cambodia so slow.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether it's more advantageous to apply for a visa extension in Cambodia or to do a border bounce to Vietnam. Some comments suggest that doing a border bounce is preferred, while others recommend applying for the E category Cambodian visa upon entry, as it offers longer extensions compared to a tourist visa.

Better apply for an E category Cambodian visa when entering the country. If you only get a tourist visa, just ONE extension is allowed, permitting a maximum of 2 months in the country. If you believe that's not enough time, go for the E visa, which can be extended for 3, 6 or 12 months.

The applicant has not been approved for the DTV Cambodian visa is running out, they need to extend their visa in Cambodia and upload it, usually people do a border run. This request above is to make sure the applicant is in Cambodia during the process.Mo ******
