ORIGINAL POSTER

I applied in Cambodia 18 days ago and it is awaiting approval, but I still haven't received the results.

Is this normal in Cambodia?

Is there anyone else waiting the same way?

It is typically 11 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) for most nationalities, but it seems like lately it is taking them longer lately. What is your nationality?
