What Are My Chances of Getting a Tourist Visa in Phnom Penh?

Tourist Visa Visa Application Phnom Penh

ORIGINAL POSTER

So I've read much about the perils of applying for a tourist visa in Phnom Penh but I'm hoping my situation might stand up at the embassy and want your delightful opinion on whether or not I have a shot. Here are some points to my credit.

I have never applied for a tourist visa before from any place so there are none on my record. 

The last time I was in Thailand was on a visa exempt which I then extended by one month. There are sure to be more visa exempts on my record as Bangkok has been used as a transit stop for me previously but those were always short.

I already have an out flight to Taipei this summer and can conjure up proof of funds if the embassy requires that as well.

So you think I stand a chance? Thanks for the all the advice mates.

“Transit Stop”? What is that. Are you talking transfers, transfers do not get a stamp.

Transit as in I've been in Bangkok for a day or two before catching my pre-arranged flight out.

I thought it best to rethink how I was going about things so I'll be applying for a long term education visa later this year but I first need a tourist visa to keep me till the summer.

Why PP ? There are much easier Consulates to go to.

, meet the requirements there get the visa. Don't meet them don't get the visa. It's NOT known as a user friendly consulate and they give you no latitude

I'm currently living in Sieam Reap so PP is the most convenient option.

I've just read that PP is notorious for being hit or miss even at the best of circumstances.

I have no idea, as i have to visit their website first to share with you their requirements.

But if you go and have a look yourself, make sure you meet them all, I would say go and apply.
