Hi all!

For walk in embassies, anybody has seen a rejection after they accepted your documents, checked them and collected your passport as well as your fee payment?

Thanks!

Can you save your work? Before I begin the online DTV application process, I'd like to know if I can stop and save my work at any step in the application process, and then sign back in and pick up where I left off. I can see where there might be steps where they ask for documentation that I haven't prepared, and I will need to stop and get that documentation before proceeding. Thanks.

Hi, I recived this message, can I just send a picture of my entery stamp and my apartment contract? In Vietnam

The Royal Thai Consulate-General would like to request for additional documents as follows:

Document indicating current location: Please update your current location and kindly note that visa processing time is 5 working day. The time is reset once additional document is submitted.

Got approved for DTV Visa finally! After 2 weeks in Phnom Penh 😅. Wanted to share my experience and what documents I submitted because I never found any clear advice on this for my situation.

For reference, I make my money online through my social media so everything was kind of vague because I don’t work for a company and don’t really have any contracts or anything.

1. Business Portfolio

I created a document that gave a breakdown of my business (social media and digital marketing), I gave them my EIN Tax ID, and a copy of a letter that I got from IRS with my EIN on it. I don’t have an LLC. Described my products and services with screenshots of my social media and website. Showed screenshots of my sales reports from my payment processors. Lastly, a letter from US Embassy in Bangkok that shows they are not able to verify my income while I’m abroad.

2. Bank Statements

They don’t specifically give any timeline for bank statements or how far back you need to go. So I submitted 6 months of bank statements. I took a screenshot of my current balance. Then the first month (September) had the full statement, the other 4 months had just the cover page showing my balances.

3. Proof of location

Cambodia gives you a sticker in your passport when you arrive that has your name, and tourist visa information. I took a picture of that, and also included my hotel reservation and flight booking into the country.

Summary from my experience. The e-visa system makes things really unclear and you’re not able to get any validation before submitting documents. So my advice is to just overkill the paperwork. Especially if you’re like me and your work is not so cut and dry. I know I went way overboard but I hope that’s what got me approved. I know the turnaround times are different for every county but Phnom Penh took exactly 10 business days which is 2 weeks. Wayyyyy too long. They updated this waiting period after I booked my flight and hotel lol. Had I known, I definitely would have spent the extra money to go somewhere quicker.

UPDATE: APPROVED!

Yesterday I submitted application for workation DTV at HCMC. The form by default does not have an upload section for all the docs rumored to be needed (letter of permission, business registration), so rather than combining lots docs into one, I just submitted only what was asked for and hopefully they reach out for the additional ones.

- bank statement

- portfolio

- proof of current location (I took a photo of entry stamp at Danang)

- photo

Crossing fingers!!!

I'm applying for my 90 day Non O visa, to start my marriage visa application.

Using the E-visa system is proving annoying, to say the least. It seems to allow only a single document per section, which is fine for most sections. However, the financial section also only allows one document, but asks you for many to prove your income.

So, I got the inevitable, more documents required email. I sign back in only to find that it only allows a single upload out of the six that I want to present. Talk about 'ministry of crap design' !

I merged all of the pdf files into a single file, uploaded it, and now hope for the best. How does everyone else manage this little problem ?

Hi everyone, I’m applying DTV as a content creator in Phnom Penh and I applied on 5th Nov.

I have sent them requested documents and have no got a reply yet. In your experience, how long do they usually take and is it also possible that they reject or take longer time even though they don’t send you any emails?

Hello, has anybody submitted bank account history in a language other than English ? My bank only allow me to download statements in Polish.

I remember several years ago the Thai embassy requested a bank statement in English when I applied for a tourist visa. Do I need to translate balance and transaction history ?

Hi hope everyone is well. I'm applying my DTV visa from London, UK. Submitted all my documents on Monday. Got an email regarding 'Request for Further document' -Photograph taken within the last six months.: - Please use your mobile phone to take a selfie photo in plain white background and close up your head and top of your shoulders.(Your face must be clear and in focus and take up 70–80% of the photo.).

orginally I had uploaded passport photo I had taken 3 months ago. Not sure why this was not acceptable. Anyhow, I'm having issues submitting the the uploaded photo. It says I've submitted but when I refresh, the application seems to be stuck on processing with message "There is an application that requires your attention. Please click the icon with a red dot."

Anyone else experience this, at one point I did see a "The team is fixing and updating the system." message, when I refreshed.

Thanks,

Can you only submit one page per document when applying online? I am trying to submit a file with multiple pages but only the first page shows up when I click preview .
