Hello,

I applied for the DTV (worcation - freelancer) in Phnom Penh on June 22 and it was approved today. No additional documents asked. Thank you everyone for all the information I found here! It was a great help. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask...

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

we wrote Pau France (in the passport it said Préfecture des Pyrénées Atlantiques PAU). A few friends said they wrote that down so we tried that and it worked
