So, I wanted to post my experience in getting an ed visa done in Phnom Penh.
I got to the Thai embassy before the doors opened on Tuesday ( 24th ) . I was one of the first people there and filled out my tourist visa pretty fast and submitted my application and other pertinent paperwork. ( the place really started to get busy about 9:30 ). I also submitted my bank information , which I do not think is required but I went ahead and did it.
I had to wait around about 45 mins to an hr for the consulate to review my application. I paid the fee and got a receipt to pick it up on Thursday at 3-4pm. Went in on thursday ( 26th ) and picked it up immediately.
So, it appears if all your ducks are in a row. Then Phnom Penh is not a bad place to get it done.
Cheers, and thks to the group for answers to questions, previously before I went.
