Successful DTV, step by step guide - Hope this will help
- application from Cambodia
- Digital nomad route
Initial application submitted in the last days of December, with pdf of the entry visa stamp and the usua passport info
On Jan 8th I got a request for additional docs, namely evidence of funds and company/contract docs
I submitted the following - cover letter explaining in short bullet points the contents of supporting documents
1. Bank statement from my bank account in my home country (3 months) showing a balance on 07-01-2025 of XXXXX €
2. Conversion of that amount in $ ($XXXX) plus pdf conversion page generated by XE online exchange
3. ABA bank statement, january 2025 (cambodian bank account with more than the 500k bath, a bit of an overkill but I thought better too much than not enough)
4. Employment certificate by my company AND employment contract, both signed by me, with a link to the company website and a short explanation of the company business.
5. Company incorporation document (with my name on as the GM)
6. General Assembly report, december 24, listing the 3 shareholders including myself. I was a tad worried as doc 5 and 6 were not in English but the highlighted parts with my name were clear enough
7. Proof of salary (XXXX€/month) paid by my company to my private account for the last 6 months
Altogether a smooth and efficient process, and they do work on weekends as my status became "approved" on Sunday afternoon.
t looked like a safer long term option to me than the soft skill route (easier to get presumably) as nobody really knows what further steps or evidence might be requested in the future, if/when they decide to tighten the screws on extensions
I would like (if I may) to recommend a friendly and affordable place to stay for the couple of weeks it took. I got a comfy large appartment a couple of minutes away by tuk tuk from the lively Russian market, called La Belle Residence , they made my stay as enjoyable as it could be. Please contact the guys next to my name for more info if yo think of going to Cambodia. They'll throw in a free airport transfer which was a nice touch.
