ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone 

I have been living in Thailand for a year. I am planning to apply for a DTV in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I can stay there for 2 weeks visa free. However, as I have been reading posts in this group and found out that the processing days there can take longer than 14 days, should I apply for 1-month arrival visa at the Phnom Penh airport once I am there ? Thank you all in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is considering applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, but is concerned that processing times may exceed their 14-day visa-free stay. Commenters suggest that applying for a 30-day arrival visa at Phnom Penh airport could be a safer option to avoid any issues.

14 days would be cutting it extremely close with current processing times. Better to get 30 days and not have to worry about it
