Anyone applying from Phnom Penh recently? I’ve applied since 21st, and it’s still pending. I’m getting anxious and running out of places to go visit 🤣

Just want to know if anyone else is on the same boat.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around expats in Phnom Penh awaiting updates on their Thai visa applications, particularly for the DTV category. Users have shared their timeline experiences, with some stating their applications are pending while others reported rejections or requests for additional documents. There is concern over the changes in processing periods announced by the embassy. A few users eventually received approvals after an anxious wait.

It takes 10 working days now. Shouldn't book a flight ticket with such a short window. Next time enter by land or fly back after 2 weeks. Don't rush.

I see. Hopefully you can change your ticket, but the lesson is, always plan to stay a little longer.

When I applied for my visa (in Taiwan) I had already planned on staying several days in order to travel as well.

I ended up staying 6 days and 6 nights but because I needed to submit additional documents on the second day (the day I would have otherwise received my visa) they only gave me my passport back the afternoon before my flight back (I flew out the next morning), which was the Monday following the weekend. Thus, I was without my passport for most of the trip (although that was fine; I didn't need it for hotel check-in and copies of the important pages was sufficient to rent a car).

I was pretty sure I'd be fine, but if for some reason I had to submit even more documents, I would have had to spend another 3-4 days longer, since there was also a public holiday 2 days later.
