TLDR : Answer Summary
A Myanmar citizen recently shared their experience getting a DTV visa approved in Phnom Penh. They outlined the general timeline for processing (including a 5-day wait) and discussed fees, which typically vary between $400 and 10,000 THB. Others in the comments sought clarification on bank statement requirements, especially the distinction between personal and official bank statements, as well as the necessary duration for holding the required 500,000 Baht in a bank account. Concerns over documentation for immigration and feedback on visa recognition at the border were also highlighted.

Do they get in touch with your company? Or do they require something specific apart from

Your contract, bank statements?

company profile, company registration, payslip etc anything that can help prove that you work for a legitimate business

They didn’t contact my company. I provided them with my managers email as well.

Update just entered Thailand through the land border:

Immigration officers didn’t recognize the DTV visa. Took awhile for them to figure out the validity etc.

Can I ask, were you a visitor in Phnom Penh Or a resident?

I want to know if you can apply for DTV from a closer country than my home country

Hey do you how many months of bank statements they require?
Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
@Garry *****
I provided 1 month official bank statement. And 6 months personal bank statement.

I probably only had the 500k in my acc 1 week prior to applying
Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
It was quite hard to get the official statement for me as my bank required me in person or a document with my hand written signature.

For the personal statement I was able to get it online, watermarked personal statement.
Garry ******
@Devu *******
nice to know. What’s the difference between personal and official though

The Thai Consulate in Phnom Penh has the processing clearly posted on their website

ALL visa types is 5 working days not including the day you apply

AND

if there's any question about documentation, etc or you're from a country that takes "special processing" it can really drag out

Why 400 and not 10,000 baht 295?
Andi ***********
@Eric ******
Embassies apply their own special exchange rates..Prices vary I read Norway is cheapest at 9700 THB ..New Zealand the most expensive around 800+ USD.
Eric *******
@Andi **********
idk

If that makes sense bc even that is the worst exchange rate on the planet

then can just take Thai baht.
Andi ***********
@Eric ******
Yep the worst exchange rate and they know we have no choice but to pay.
JC ***************************
So it cost you 400 USD to get this visa at the embassy?
Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
@JC **************************
yup the pamphlet circling around says 10k thb but most places charge $400. You should clarify at the embassy you will apply at, I’m not sure it’s the same everywhere
JC ***************************
@Devu *******
it clearly says For Visa Fee USD 400
Eric *******
@JC **************************
says only 10,000 baht which is 295 so I’m wondering why extra money
Andi ***********
Congrats
Tom *****
We ask for the visa today in Phnom Penh

The first check staff say.. all ok with the paper. But we have to wait 5 days for the last officer. He check

@Tom ****
yes they were quite rude about it, which I thought was due to me being a Myanmar citizen. Yeah I had to resubmit my application with company registration documents. All in all took me about 15 days to get it 😪
Paul *******
@Devu *******
What did you submit the first time? And why did it take 15 days?
Inkyin *****
@Devu *******
Hello, could you please clarify what company registration documents mean? Do they want to see the registration of the company, like the company license?
Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
@Inkyin ****
yeah I provided a company extract from the Dutch chamber of commerce where the company was registered
Inkyin *****
@Devu *******
thank you. How much money did you show in MMK as an equivalence of 500k THB?
Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
@Inkyin ****
I showed a little bit more. I think best to calculate with most updated mmk conversion and show a little more since you never know what rate they will consider
Inkyin *****
@Devu *******
Did you calculate the exchange rate per the bank website or per you know, on-ground rate? 😅
Tom *****
@Devu *******
I have bring this in copy already now for the first time.
Tom *****
@Devu *******

Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
Yes that’s correct. 5 working days is minimum here
Tom *****
@Devu *******

Jack *****
@Tom ****
I waited for 17 days, please don't complain?
Tom *****
@Jack ****

Jack *****
@Tom ****
Yes, it was a very frustrating experience for me.

Well done!

Can I ask you a few questions in dm? I’m also trying to apply 😊
Devu ********

@Hsaung ***********
sure sure it was pretty straight forward for me. I have a work contract from a Dutch company. I had to resubmit my application with Dutch company registration documents. Other than that I submitted docs for 500k thb in Myanmar bank acc, 400$ application fee, job contract & proof of stay in Thailand (rent contract)
Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
I’m not sure that is a requirement. I have a tm30 and 1 year rental contract since I have already been living in Thailand with a TR visa, so I showed that.
Alecia *****
@Devu *******
hi there. About proof of stay would you know if a booking would work? Or does it have to be a rental contract? Thanks!
Andi ***********
Alecia Meh booking is ok
Devu ********

Devu ********

@Hsaung ***********

Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
I had it in my bank acc probably 1 week before applying
Andrion ******
@Devu *******
So, dont you have to hold 500K for a month in account? Do you just have to provide 1 month statement with ending balance of 500K?
Devu ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
Yeah that’s ok as long as it’s in an acc with ur name
Esther ******
@Devu *******
