Hi, can I assume your employee who got the DTV from Manila is a Filipino? Has he flown to Thailand yet, would like to ask if he was asked for an OEC before leaving by Immigration.
Same question for your girlfriend. Thanks.

ORIGINAL POSTERIf you need special help, please comment with “help” and I will write to you as soon as I have time. I don't have the time to answer all questions in detail. Otherwise I would be sitting here from morning till night answering questions. I actually wanted to show with my post that it is possible to get the DTV visa in Phnom Penh, also in Manila, and friends of mine report that they have done it in Laos.

Can I ask about the requirements your employee submit in Manila?

Your Filipino employee was not allowed to apply in PP?

Why should I fly my Filipino employee to Phnom Penh to apply for a visa there? It doesn't make sense, does it?Daniel *****
Anonymous participant No, that's why I was guessing they were not allowed to apply in PP. But, it seems strange they accept some foreign, non-resident applicants but not Filipinos...
Daniel *****
I am looking for an option for my Filipina partner because she doesn't have the 3 months @ 500k+ bank statements Manila is asking for.
Anonymous *************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Daniel ****
500k is what every message demands. The only question is whether they have to be on the account for 3 or 6 months. You need help like we have, then it will be a success.Hannah ***********
Anonymous participant can you share about this “help” you are talking about

My girlfriend is also Filipino, and she was accepted, so your statement is not correct.Joyce ************
Anonymous participant hi there! Do you mind if I ask if your filipina girlfriend have residency there in Cambodia, or is she under tourist visa but was able to apply in Phnom Penh?

Yes, but my wife speaks the national language, Tagalog, and spoke to the consulate there on the phone a lot for our employee.Ko *******
Anonymer Teilnehmer i live in Cebu and think about to apply for the DTV…not sure,I’ll try it here or in my home country.

@Ko ******
I contacted the Embassy in Manila. You need to be a citizen or legal resident of the Philippines to apply in Manila.Kaprel *************
@Daniel ****
Hi Daniel, as I understand that there is not any chance to apply with "walk in" to Royal Thai embassy Manila if you are not citizen of Philippines or maybe you did asked about E-visas?Daniel *****
@Kaprel ************
As of a couple weeks ago they did not have an eVisa optionKaprel *************
@Daniel ****
ohhhh, I just was a in one stеp to buy a tickets on the beginning of October.Daniel *****
@Kaprel ************
I have heard nothing about the Manila embassy going to eVisa. Honestly, they have never been helpful to non-residents on my experience.Kaprel *************
@Daniel ****
I checked this information with the Thai embassy in Manila. Everything is fine, they accept documents from non-residents. Please do not mislead people.Sam **********
@Kaprel ************
Still true? I have emailed them twice but I'm not receiving an answer. Did you have success obtaining DTV from Manila even though you're not a resident there?Kaprel *************
@Sam *********
Yes, everything is the same, many non-residents have received visas there. But keep in mind that the consulate in Manila may switch to E-visas. In this case, you will need to clarify this issue directly again.Ko *******
@Daniel ****
also nicht wie in Taiwan,Vietnam etc….hätte mich ja auch mal gewundert,wenn hier mal irgendwas easy wäre 😵💫danke,dann muss ich gar nicht erst weiter drüber nachdenken.Anonymous *************

Ja, ein Versuch ist es wert..!Ko *******
Anonymer Teilnehmer wenn dann versuche ich es direkt in Cebu oder nach Weihnachten zu Hause 🥺

Für meine Mitarbeiter haben wir es in Manila bekommen. Wie gesagt, zich mal hin und her telefonieren war da angesagt..Ko *******
Anonymer Teilnehmer wäre mir zu stressig extra nach Manila zu fliegen,Unterkunft dort und Stress in der Botschaft…wenn in Cebu was geht,wäre es ok,ansonsten zu Hause in kürze.

There is no longer a Thai consulate in Cebu and even when their was he didn't seem to issue any visas.Reply to

Was there any tricky parts with the application thru Phnom Penh (other than the 5 days processing) ? Did you have to show proof of funds for 6 months, 3 months or just the day you apply?

ORIGINAL POSTER@Tod ********
It took 14 days because I had to submit a few more letters because I am not married to my wife (girlfriend), and I had to make a declaration that I was liable for her. Phnom Penh is very particular about the documents.Hannah ***********
Anonymous participant ff is she your dependent?
John **********
Anonymous participant she had to get the visa in her own right and not based on you I assume?
John *******
Anonymous participant - That is amazing that they allowed your GF the visa, even though you are not married.
