Thanks. Already did without making any headway. Ultimately, I think it's Viking's call but so far they have refused to disclose process while docking in Cambodia on the Mekong. VOA is best for us. I'll try them again.

We are Canadians booked to cruise in February 2017 from HCM City to Cambodia entering at Phnom Penh. Viking wants us to get visa prior to leaving our home country. Only place that issues is Consulate in Washington, DC. We need to send in our original passports and wait 3 weeks. We are travelling in January and do not want to risk losing our passports. Can we wait till we are in Phnom Penh on the boat to get our visas?

We are booked on Viking's Magnificent Mekong cruise in February 2017. We board at HCM City cruising into Cambodia at Phnom Penh. Viking advised evisas for Cambodia are unacceptable. To obtain a visa prior to departure, we will have to send our passports to the Cambodian Consulate in Washington, DC and allow three weeks for processing. We are travelling in January and reluctant to take a chance of losing our passport or cutting it too short so we do not receive them back from DC. Does anyone have experience in this regard? We are spending the first two days in HCM City prior to boarding the boat. Can we wait till after we arrive Vietnam to obtain a visa for Cambodia? Viking is wanting us to get both visas for Vietnam and Cambodia prior to departure from our home country. Vietnam visas are easier since there is a Vietnam Embassy in Vancouver, BC that we can visit and not lose sight of our passports. Cambodia is another story.
