good afternoon, I applied 21 June in Phnom penh, sent on 22 June the letter of support from my company they were asking for ,  and since that moment wait patiently for the eventual approval 

On 17th July my family comes from Europe to Thailand for their (and my) holidays , i will stay till mid september with them then I  return to Cambodia.

If i do not have the visa before 17th July,  should I then go Thailand without ( vis exempt ) visa with my EU pasport, to meet my family and use the DTV in september when I will travel again from cambodia to Thailand 

thanks for your advises

Answer summary

The user has applied for a DTV visa and is awaiting approval. They are concerned about traveling to Thailand to meet their family on July 17 without having received their visa yet. The comments suggest staying in Cambodia until the visa decision is made to avoid risking rejection and losing the visa fee.

If you leave Cambodia you risk to get the application rejected and loose the visa fee.

It is your decision taking this risk.

Nope... stay in Cambodia UNTIL you have the decision from the Thai Embassy on your DTV Visa Application.
