I received a reply for my dtv application

Please provide the latest copy of your full passport, including all pages (even the empty ones). If you have a Temporary Resident Card (TRC), kindly submit it along with the passport. The photos must show the current date and time they were taken.

How do u advise to ad date and time ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is inquiring about how to add a date and time to their passport photos for a DTV application, as required by the consulate. Community members suggested various methods such as taking screenshots of the photo details from the phone gallery, using a timestamp app, taking a photo with a recent receipt, and checking camera app settings for watermark options.

Just a receipt from a grocerystore next to the passport is fine

Check the settings on your camera app. There's probably a setting for adding date and time to the image. The setting might be hiding under the "watermark" settings.

This seems to be at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City

Perhaps buy something nearby (convenience store, mini mart, supermarket, etc.) and have the receipt of your purchase with a date and time timestamp showing with each passport page???

Down load an app call timestamp

I had to do the same thing - it is a brilliant app

Plus take a phot of yourself holding your passport at your hotel with the hotel name

Go to your gallery, open the picture, scroll for the bottom to the top and you have the date and hour, then take a screenshot.

On your phone you can add a watermark to your photos. I did it with everything I sent.
