Obtaining B Visa in Phnom Phen - Easy? Any experiences or advice to share?

[lostmebike]

Hey guys and gals. I need to change my O Visa to a B Visa and was wondering about doing it in Phonm Phen. I feel like seeing somewhere different other than Laos.

I know I need a tourist visa first which then, with the right documentation obviously, can be changed to a B visa. My reasons for posting are simple really. I would like to know from TVF posters that have recently (in the last 6 months to a year say) been through this process at the Thai consulate in Phnom Phen.

I would like to hear about the expense and ease (or lack of) obtaining your visa. Are they stricter than Vientiane or Sawannaket. Was it a lengthy process or just drop off docs one day then pick up the next? Even your experience as a whole obtaining the visa at Phnom Phen would be good to know.

Thanks.

Normal service is 3 days to get a visa in PP. Also certainly not as easy to get as other locations.

The time to process the visa doesn`t seem to be an issue. Just wondering about the getting there .. would have to fly I suppose.
