Anyone approved in Cambodia recently? Tired of waiting now 🥲 

I submitted on the 14th & it went straight to pending approval on the 17th (after the weekend) so I'm assuming after the document check passed they won't be asking for further documents? Hopefully not anyway, it's been a week & they haven't asked. 

For anyone deciding where to go it seems Vietnam or Indonesia are taking way quicker.

It’s only been 6 business days since submission. Don’t stress, will be fine. If anything else is requested, they will update you to ask. - ps it can go back to document check after going to “pending approval” this has happened before.

Anonymous participant it could take 11 or 12 days though or even tomorrow. No one knows for sure so be flexible with your stay.

yeah that’s the most frustrating part now, not knowing how long to book. I really pray it doesn’t go to 11 days as that means I’ll be here another weekend💔
