What is the application process and experience for the DTV visa from Cambodia?

Question

🥳 DTV Approved: Phnom Penh Embassy

Thought I'd share exactly what I did since these posts really saved me when applying myself!

Submitted: Jan 8th (2am)
Approved: Jan 23rd (5pm)
Type: Workation (freelancer)
Total time: 16 days (11 working days, not including date submitted)
Nationality: UK

Pending Approval: 8th Jan
- no extra documents requested.

Here's everything I submitted.

Proof of funds:
* 6 months bank statements. 
* Final balance of B500K+ 
* Final transferred from other personal account
* I did not have B500K+ for every month

Proof of location:
* Hotel receipt in Siem Reap
* Photo of entry stamp into Cambodia

Work Portfolio:
* Motivation Letter 
- this stated exactly what I do for work and why I wanted to stay in Thailand to work remotely. I also mentioned what they'll find in the next few pages.
* Screenshot of my LinkedIn profile
* Screenshots of my website with work examples
* 2 x signed contracts (with sensitive information redacted)
* Letter from a client confirming when we started working together and the ability to conduct work from anywhere

Honestly, it was a long wait in Cambodia. But I'm so glad to finally have it and get back to Thailand!

Now hoping for a smooth immigration process 🤞 (touch wood)

Hey [mention redacted] im in the same situation

But im in a bit of a sticky situation while waiting,I been moving around to find a place to stay that has stable and good internet connection. Seem like an impossible challenge here.

The place I'm at, It was 40 Mbps when I test it. Now it drop to 5 Mbps. Is it really common to have bad internet in Phnom Penh?

This is my 3rd hotel in 5 days.

Also I'm using Smart Sim 4G. It also on and off, so I'm switching between wifi and data

For entry into Thailand, unless you've got a car or motorcycle and are the driver of said vehicle, do NOT use Aranyaprathet-Poipet to enter Thailand.

We just had someone tell us he was refused entry there on a DTV despite having been outside of Thailand for a month.

You don't need to fly back, any other land border works (I can assure you of that as I've entered Thailand on a DTV from Cambodia several times already but NOT at Aranyaprathet). I did exit there, but I haven't re-entered there.

I love to hear that, I'm waiting now in Cambodia, applied for soft power on the 21st, I can only show 500k for the last bank statement, which is why I applied here, even tho the wait is long. How did you pass the time?
