How to contact Phnom Penh? I submitted and paid on 30oct2025, additional documents on 7nov. Since then, Pending Approval. I emailed them 5 days ago, no reply. I called several times, ringing, then hangs up. I can stay in Cambodia until 27nov and now getting concerned if I get the visa in time.

With current tightening of visa rules, I might get problems to enter Thailand on another visa exempt. What do IOs think about people who enter Thailand while their visa is processing? Fortunately I'm flexible in space and time, can extend my stay in Cambodia or go to Lao and wait until I get the visa. But I don't like the idea of traveling around without an idea if and when I get my DTV.

I just got invited for an interview to embassy in Nepal! Is that a good sign? And what might they ask? I did soft power DTV.. it’s a one year course. Anyone got rejected from interview? What gets asked? Anyone did in Nepal?

Want to scan with QR to pay? There’s a solution! TrueMoney Wallet supports PromptPay… as long as you upgrade to an Advanced Account!

It took me a while to figure out how to upgrade because it always seemed to fail, plus it took a handful of chats with customer service to get good answers. I finally got it working! So I thought I would share the solution, and the reason!

FYI, this worked for a DTV visa with an American passport. I don’t know every solution for every visa or country, so I can’t promise this will work for everyone. But, this will probably help for a bunch of situations!

First, of course, create a True Money Wallet account. Next, when upgrading, pick the document that applies, for me it was Non-Immigrant Visa.

For work, put “freelancer,” and/or for location, put “home.”

Next, you will submit two photos for proof:

⁠1. A photo of your e-visa (printout or a picture of your computer screen displaying the visa)

2. A picture of your visa stamp passport page (such as the DTV stamp) NEXT TO YOUR FACE!!!!! That part is very important and this missing bit of info required to complete the step.

Why do you have to take a picture of the stamp page next to your face? According to the support agent that helped me, it’s because American passports, for example, do not show the passport number on that page. Because that information is missing, they require a second bit of information in the photo, such as your face.

Please do not ask me to explain the logic here, because I absolutely will not be able to. But, I can tell you for a fact that this worked for me!

Good luck, I hope it helps those in need!

Hello group. I have a question. I’m in the US, retiring soon. How difficult is it to secure a retirement visa and insurance if I’ve had a kidney transplant? TIA

I applied in Nepal embassy monday 17th.. application status went to “processing, pending approval” same day..

it is now 20th Thursday.

I have my fingers crossed- I see for some people it’s taken a few days and for others it’s been a few weeks..

Soft power application - I hope it all goes well 😮‍💨

For someone on the DTV and having a spouse and children covered under the same visa, did each person have to have the income requirement in the bank

In our case that would be 4 times the amount

I am a good candidate returning to thailand after 5 days from Vietnam to be caught up in this crackdown on visa exemptions and the 7 day exit stamp.

I tried to get TV in nam but my phone conflicted on payment page and thus failed..

Anyway, I heard on here of agents fast tracking people through immigration for a fee of 4000 bhat, question, how are they contacted and how are they on that side of immigration.

Please save the get the correct visa, changes aimed at me etc, I should have done it in UK but didn't, however earlier in year I got caught up in the banking fiasco, bought property, obtained drivers licences, but couldn't get bank account nor then visa.....cheers

Does "pending approval" mean that all documents have been accepted?

Hola everyone. This group helped me so much with their very helpful informations. I wanna thank for it.

My question is:

I applied DTV with my visa agency in Phnom Penh.

I'm Turkish citizen and it's been 55 days.

I only have request and reference number from screenshot that agency sent me. (thaievisa.go.th)

Is there anything I should do that maybe speeds up the process?

This thing chasing me on night for weeks.

Thank you all...

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Normally in Vientiane you would apply for the DTV online and then pay in cash at the embassy.

Has anyone paid in advance and then submitted the documents in the afternoon or the next day?
