Anyone tried in Kuala Lumpur? What do they mean by "authenticated by the embassy" - i have an LLC in the US, and contracts with clients in the US. How do i get them authenticated?

it's a FIVE working day processing time not counting the day you apply so you're in Phnom Penh a week minimum, AND they are not the most user friendly consulate around plus they're 400USD for the visa where HCMC is only 340 USD 😮

Why are you so hell bent on applying at possibly the HARDEST thai consulate in S/E Asia to get a DTV from?

Why not go to at thai consulate in HCMC Vietnam, Jakarta Indonesia, Taipei Taiwan or even Vientiane or Savannakhet Lao?

What is the "I need to go to KL for this DTV" fixation? 😉

each consulate is free to set their own requirements (within reason) it's just so variable and reports from KL are they are TOUGH on that "embassy stamp" for documents on the "work-cation" category

you would go to your embassy in Malaysia with your documents and pay to have them stamp them just like everyone else who uses the KL thai consulate does to get their documents "certified"

they mean you have to GO to your embassy in Malaysia and get the documents stamped FROM them

It's the reason people are going to Jakarta Indonesia rather than using Kuala Lumpur or Penang for the DTV

I'm currently in BKK. So you mean i can swing by the US embassy here and bring copies of my US LLC formation documents and my freelance contract with my US client and they'll stamp it?

Anonymous participant you aren't gonna "swing by" but you can make an appt to get documents stamped by the embassy, it's 50 USD a stamp per page

I think you'll actually have better luck with the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur because you're not the first person who needed those stamps for their documentation there

I’m interested in point 5. And I also plan to apply in KL. Did you have to provide this evidence? Seems strange to provide this proof before the visa is even accepted 🤔
