7) a cover letter indicating the submitted list of documents and the transfer of money from rubles to baht and us dollars at the Google exchange rate on the day of submission.

Hi ! Do I must to translate my documents into English ? If yes, where did you done that ?
Darrell ********
My opinion only..get the DTV while you can..I'm sure it will change..for us long stay with marriage visa and retirement visa is more difficult to get..I may change to the DTV visa..I've had marriage visa for 15 years..less hassle with the DTV..everyone can get..

Well, Phnom Penh is switching to the e-visa system soon, so processing times may increase further. Therefore, you're right get it soon. Partly for this reason.Reply to

I thought the documentation of presence in the country or residence is irrelevant when applying in person? My understanding was that is only required for e-Visa applications?
John *******
@James ********
- That is probably the case, but I too, took something, just in case, since it technically says it on the list of documents, and that is the same list the embasy in Cambodia references, even though they don’t have an e-visaReply to

Can I please ask, in PP would the 500k need to be in my account for the duration of the 1 months, and is it a risk to only take 1 months statement?

ORIGINAL POSTER@Dave ****************
A statement of the movement of funds for any period is not required. You need to show the existing money in a deposit or card accountReply to

Pretty sure you don't need to pay in hundreds. Any denominations that are new and/or in excellent condition, though I wouldn't pay in $1 notes of course.
