Hello everyone, I obtained my DTV (workation) visa at the Phnom Penh embassy in Cambodia and I wanted to thank this group for all the invaluable advice they gave me.

Application submitted on December 31, visa validated on January 17 (no additional documents requested).

I provided all the documents requested, and I put together a nice portfolio to present my business in detail. In the portfolio I put :

-screenshots of my websites

-screenshot of my payment processor's dashboard proving my customers' payments

-I've clearly explained how customers make payments on my websites, and what I use to collect payment (Stripe).

It's important that they understand your business right the first time, otherwise they'll ask you for additional documents and questions to help them understand. Providing a portfolio directly with all the important details is the right strategy to get the visa right the first time without asking for additional documents. After that, I think it also depends a lot on the person in charge of your file.

Thanks again 🙏
