I applied and paid on a Saturday, had the e-visa in my inbox by the Wednesday. Very quick and efficient service. Made walking off the plane and straight to passport control a very enjoyable experience.

Use only this official website https://www.evisa.gov.kh

I did mine last week, took only 48 hours. Tried already couple of weeks ago, but i think i was to early because was denied, i think they ask your date of arrival and it was +1 month at that moment. Its a little more expensive, but you cant get ripped off at the airport by giving wrong change to you (happened me twice) and you are sure you have the right visa, i ordered an ordinary-one which i can extend for looooong time !! Will arrive 5th !! Prepare the barrels of Anchorrr !!

All depends...standard processing time is 3 business days, however, if you have a passport from a country that requires you to provide supporting documentation it may take longer, especially if you don't provide the correct supporting documentation initially some people have reported waiting 2-3 weeks for their e-Visa to be approved.

Forgot to add... the e-Visa is valid to use for entry for 3 months from the date of issue, so if you apply now you'll still be able to use it for entry in October.
