ORIGINAL POSTER

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.

They arrived early, completed their paperwork quickly, and only waited about 45 minutes to an hour for processing. After payment, they returned two days later to collect their visa without issues. Comments from others raise questions about the type of visa applied for and discuss potential delays in processing.

I was prompted to fill out a tourist visa from the officer after showing him my paperwork.. Which is why I stated this. They gave me back other paperwork that was not needed from my school. They kept the tourist visa application. During an edvisa, you extend every 3 or 2 months.

2 or 3 days def not a problem for me. i treat these situations as a mini relax vacation. It is quite nice to get away from bkk for a couple of days.
