Hello! My visa was approved 🎉 I applied to the LA consulate on February 23rd, submitted additional documents on the 24th, & was approved this morning on the 25th. It was a very smooth process! I officially leave next week to start this new journey.

Thank you to everyone in this group. It was all so very helpful. 😊

Visa finally approved in Manila.

I initially got denied in HCMC Vietnam. Was going to give up but whilst in Philippines I had a chance of heart.

Both times was workcation.

This time though, as I got rejected last time which I think was due to not having proof of tax (I’ve been travelling for two years living off savings) and applied before my first paycheck, I used a family member as a sponsor alongside my own 500k. This time I had been paid a couple times too which was also in my favour.

I had 3 rounds of additional documents. Proof of correspondence with clients and then the rest was mostly about my sponsor.

Was quite annoying, as everything they asked me, they could have asked in one go but hey, we got there in the end.

- Applied on the 8th Jan, pending approval multiple times and then back to pending document check > document requests.

- Then final pending approval on 22nd Jan

- Approved today 26th Jan

😊 see you in Thailand

Wow 2 days to get my DTV Visa approved.

I could not believe it was that easy and fast .

Did it through the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Los Angeles.

Perfect since I am here for work

Am waiting in Phnom Penh for my visa application result. It’s been sat at ‘processed, pending approval’ for 2 days, and my flight back is tomorrow. Before I book an alternative flight, does anyone know if the approvals only happen Mon to Friday, or do they also process at all on the weekend ??

Thanks

Approved from Cambodia. 4 weeks

Can I expect to get approval email on weekends and government holidays?

Hey guys,

Is there anyone who has received approval from Phnom Penh after 10 business days? Today is my 10th day and I still haven't heard anything. I've had no requests for extra documents and it went to Pending Approval on the same day.

Just want to say: thanks to the group & all who contribute to this. It’s all we want - to have a better life in a wonderful country.

My application has been APPROVED at the twelfth hour!! Whoop whoop! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Can't believe it applied for my visa Monday evening it was approved in 21 hours

I just had my Thai visa approved by the Thai Consulate in NYC after just one day! I'm thinking ahead to the RT PCR COVID test that I will need 72 hours before departure. My options I think are Quest Diagnostics, Walgreens or CVS. I live an hour north of New York City. Can anyone give me a recommendation as to what worked well for them with respect to the required pre departure COVID test?
