Re: Latest blog/details Westerner entering cambodia ?
Apparently the Cambodian embassy in Australia is the only one to do it.
Re: Latest blog/details Westerner entering cambodia ?
We will be heading in via the Korean embassy next week so will let you chaos know what, if any, guidance we are given on this matter. Great thread though, very good to have this clear information. Thank you.

Thanks info exactly what I looking for ! Sounds like less than 10 days total process receive visa (if already have employment letter) from when you sent your passport ? Good to hear communication good from DC embassy I'll post process from beginning to end including motel/visa/ect soon Cash only good option deposit wise thanks all tips appreciated If you arriving phnom penh from USA/other recently please post tips experiences other thread good , 2 can't hurtBklynBoy wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 7:17 amI just got my visa approved. you have to fill out a prescreening thing then they email you. The embassy in DC is pretty good at getting back to you. initially filled out prescreening thing and they wanted me to get more information added to the employment letter. After resubmitting employment letter it took 1 or 2 more days.PSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 7:21 pmIs that it?
1. Can't comment on time frame as never applied from USA. You need to apply via the Embassy in DC's website and go through the pre-screening before submitting application.
2. Cash is king! You wouldn't believe the amount of people who have been denied entry due to problems encountered trying to pay by card, also worth noting that if you pay by CC it is processed as a cash advance, not a payment. Also, some airlines demand to see the cash ie. Asiana.
The embassy called me on the 2nd day asking me to check my email and confirm i got it.
I was good to go! Then took a few more days to get passport returned
The embassy in DC seems more on top of the process but it's not difficult
Last summer when at the airport in JFK-- Eva airlines asked to see my cash. The airline seemed pretty thorough. They reviewed my health certificate as well
Re: Latest blog/details Westerner entering cambodia ?
10 days or so yea. Remember your sending the package and waiting for return of package. That's already a few days right there. Once they have the initial package it doesn't just sit.

Re: Latest blog/details Westerner entering cambodia ?
The food i had last summer wasn't so bad and i don't remember any microwave being available. It's possible every hotel was different. I forget name of my hotel but was Chinese. I was only there 1 night last summer tho

I have had so many problem with the Cambodian embassy here in Australia. They seem to be operating under another song sheet.

Leave it on the balcony in direct sunlight for an hour. You'll soon have it at 40°.
In your AC room that will feel hot enough.
