What is the application process for the Digital Nomad Visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh?

UPDATE: I’ve been approved!

Probably a bit late to post this but hopefully this can help anyone who wants to apply DTV at Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I submitted my documents and paid a $400 visa fee on 23rd of September. But due to multiple public holidays and embassy closure date in between, the pick up date is on the 4th of October, which is almost 2 weeks; cutting real close on the 2 weeks visa exemption that I get in Cambodia. As of writing this, I’m waiting to collect the passport. (UPDATE: Approved and collected)

The category for my application is Digital Nomad/Workcation. I’ve submitted the following documents.

1. 3.5 months bank statement with 650k THB only on the closing amount of the final month.

2. My professional portfolio (3D artist)

3. Remote work contracts and certificate (Dubai company)

4. Freelance short term contracts, Freelance NDA contracts

5. Proof of stay in Bangkok (Contract and TM30)

6. Application form with my passport photo

7. Copy of my passport page

There was no need of getting an appointment in Phnom Penh Embassy. I just walked in, took a token number and waited until they called my number. The officer just skimmed through the documents quick, asked what type of visa I’m applying and told me to pick up on the 4th of September. Everyone else who applied on the same day as I did was also told to pick up on the 4th.

My tip is to check for holidays of the embassy you wish to apply at before you plan your trip. I have spent almost 2 weeks in Cambodia which was quite boring especially in Phnom Penh. Since they have taken my passport, I couldn’t visit any other city or move hotels.

Hopefully everything goes well and I get accepted. I’ll keep you guys posted in the comments after I pick it up. Good luck to everyone else who’s applying for the visa.

Cheers!
