Hi Experts and DTV Holders, can I ask did anyone recently applied their DTV Visa from Phnom Penh? I submitted my application on the 3rd of August and it went pending approval the same day and till today 26th of August (14 Working Days) I have yet to receive an update regarding my Visa, I have also sent multiple emails with no response, I am very lost on what to do.
Answer summary
A user inquired about the approval time for a DTV Visa in Phnom Penh after waiting 14 working days without updates. Several commenters shared their experiences, suggesting that processing can take anywhere from 17 to 40 days. Some mentioned contacting the embassy for updates, while others recommended applying from home countries where processing times may be shorter. Eventually, the user received approval after following up directly with the embassy, highlighting the importance of persistence during the application process.

UPDATE: I went to the Embassy in the afternoon today and got turned away, after that I called them on the hotline number and they ask me for my information and I gave it to them. FINALLY! I GOT APPROVED! Thank you all kind fellow DTV-ERS !

The e-visa system is horrible. Back in the good old days, Phnom Penh took 4 business days to process a visa, which was considered long. Why do they need 40 days to process a DTV (or any visa for that matter)? What an absolute joke.

Better just apply in your home country. I hear Australia takes just a few days and some European countries are taking just a week or so, which is acceptable.

WonderfulLychee5730 12 working days. There was a Thai public holiday while I was there. I used an agent and his recent submissions took 4 and 7 working days. I’m sure yours is just around the corner.

I was unknowingly told that it only took 7 working days to process and for that I went for it, but unfortunately I am still waiting on it right now.
