Living in Cambodia (though with a German passport) I know the situation 
well, when Cambodian friends plan to travel abroad.

Of course the attitude of local embassy staff can make a positive or 
negative difference, but the MAIN problem is that the organizers of 
conferences do not see the problem, or do not act on it VERY EARLY and 
AT THE TOP.

There may be cases where - in spite of all steps take - some individual 
cases may have run into problems. But whenever the organizer of a 
conference has very early negotiated the procedure to issue visas to 
conference participants, and the relevant information was shared in a 
timely manner, and the travelers have properly responded to such 
information, most people, or the vast majority, received their visas - 
as far as I know.

I really think the problem and the solution rests with the organizers' 
actions or lack thereof.
