ORIGINAL POSTERHello, I'm about to apply for the DTV in Phnom Penh. I just have a doubt for the place of issue. I know there's been a lot of talk about it but to apply in Cambodia, should I write down exactly what's written in the Authority section in the passport or should I write France? I have a french passport but it was issued in Tbilissi, Georgia ...
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on how to fill out the 'place of issue' section for a DTV application in Phnom Penh, given that their French passport was issued in Tbilissi, Georgia. Comments suggest writing exactly what is stated in the authority section of the passport, but some users share experiences of successfully writing their home country instead, indicating that practices may vary by embassy.

I had a similar situation and added my country instead of what was written under the authority section ( other country) and it worked for me.
I did this because I saw some people getting rejected ( even tho they wrote what was written on their passport). It could depend on the embassy you are applying from.

I wrote "EMBASSY OF FRANCE IN XXXX" in the place-of-issue field.

Yes, I did. I was not sure but since I filled out the form in English, there was no reason to write it in French, I thought.Reply to
