TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about potential solutions for their visa application that is still pending approval while their allowed stay in Cambodia will expire soon. Comments suggest that Cambodia's visa processing typically takes 11 business days and mention the importance of entering Cambodia on a tourist visa that permits a 30-day stay.

Anonymous participant I extended my stay in Cambodia just in case this happens, but I know someone who had the same problem, she left to Vietnam border and came back in with a new stamp.

Cambodia takes 11 business days. You needed to enter Cambodia on a tourist visa, which is good for 30 days.

Can we just cross the border to get 14 more days or overstay for 1-2 days until the visa is approved ?

One more question please, can we enter Thailand and wait for the approval here ?

Anonymous participant No, as you may need to go for an interview/provide more documents. Entry Stamps check is also possible at that moment unfortunately. Would suggest to visit a third country quickly and back to application country if you don't have the chance to remain any longer.

We have submitted the additional documents and the current status is pending for approval.
