What is the average processing time for a DTV in Cambodia?

Nov 2, 2025
2 days ago
Hi everyone,

Anyone here applying for a DTV from Cambodia? I applied on Oct 5 and was only asked for my arrival stamp on the next day and no further documents have been requested since then.

It’s been a month now with no update. I checked with the embassy this week, and they said the delay is due to a high volume of applications.

Anyone know the longest waiting time for DTV processed in Cambodia?

Thanks In advance 🙏🏼

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation focuses on the experiences of individuals applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) from Cambodia. One user inquired about the waiting time after submitting their application and shared their experience of not receiving any further document requests after one month. Other users shared their timelines, indicating variances in processing times, with one citing a 6-week wait and others not receiving updates for weeks. Concerns about the high volume of applications and communication issues with the embassy were also discussed.

We applied on October 10th and also no response. No request for documents. Just the status of “pending approval (1)” since October 13th. We sent an email this past Friday to check in on the application as now we’ve needed to change our flights and apply for another 30 days in Cambodia but actually it bounced back. What email did you reach out to the embassy to? Please let me know when you get your approval if you don’t mind 🥺

Thank you that was the same email I sent to them. Did you receive a response by email?

Anyway, I’ll send a follow-up email again. Mine was for the Soft Power program, so maybe the processing time differs for each country ?.

Thank you again for your time and help.

Same here ,I had to cancel my return tickets and extend my visa for 30 days. For now, we just have to wait patiently; as no extra documents requested yet, which is a good sign.Our application are still in line for processing.

That’s awesome! Could you please share which email address you sent your follow-up to and what you mentioned in your email to them? Is your Soft-power or digital nomad ?

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is ___________ (Passport No:_________) and I am writing to kindly inquire about the current status of my Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) application, submitted on October 10th. The online portal continues to show the status as “Pending approval (1)”, and I would be most grateful if you could please provide any update or estimated timeframe for the next steps.

My family and I wish to express our deep respect to the Thai people and the Royal Family during this period following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother. We especially admire Her Majesty’s longstanding dedication to uplifting rural communities, preserving traditional Thai arts such as silk weaving through the SUPPORT Foundation, and promoting sustainable development.

We also understand that the embassy recently observed national holidays, including Navamindra Maharaj Day and Chulalongkorn Day, and we fully respect that the offices would have been closed during those times.

Thank you very much for your time, assistance, and continued service.

I truly appreciate your help and look forward to your response.

ด้วยความเคารพอย่างสูง,

It has taken 6 weeks to get approved in Cambodia. Many around a month before current delay. You not being asked for any further docs is a good sign your docs are in order.

Thanks for your info, as of now only have to wait patiently 😮‍💨

Anonymous participant Yes, just be patient. You won't have to wait as long as you have to get your DTV, which is the good thing. Explore Cambodia while you wait, it's a nice country.
