Thank You Very Much for you lr report on your experience with getting a DTV E–Visa at the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh (Cambodia)
No excuses for the consular/visa staff processing Thai E–Visa applications at the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, but they have more pressing issues to deal with nowadays, and, fortunately for many, there are other Thai Embassies/Thai Consulates to choose from to apply for a DTV E–Visa or any other type of Thai E–Visa within the immediate region with faster DTV E–Visa processing times

Did it just sit on "Pending Approval" until it was finally approved? I applied on June 3rd in phnom penh, still waiting as well. First they asked for proof of location (Visa stamp) then they asked for the business license for the business that I'm working for. Submitted that and the next day changed to "Pending Approval". Nothing changed since June 6th. Guessing it just needs more time.

Hello, we are going to Cambodia this week to do the dtv. I just have a question, for the place of issue, did you put exactly what it says in your passport or something else?
