What is the processing time for visa applications in Cambodia and how does it work for couples?

John *******

Cambodia has always been 11 business days. Not clear what time you submitted, but possible yours took 12 business days (or the standard 11). This has been their normal processing time for all visas since Oct 1st.

What should I do if DTV requests more documents for my visa application due to discrepancies in my name?

John *******

Anonymous participant - Actually it states to answer as it appears in your travel document. Whatever you entered will need to correspond to your travel document (e.g: passport). If it doesn’t, they will usually cancel your application and you fortify the fee (for some reason they are very strict with this).

What should I do if DTV requests more documents for my visa application due to discrepancies in my name?

John *******

Does the application ask for your full name or does it ask for your full name as presented in your passport?

How long does it typically take for the visa status to change from 'Pending Approval' and is an interview likely?

John *******

Um, yes, if they want to interview you and you are not allowing them to interview you, 100% likely you will be rejected. This is why you are supposed to stay in Laos while visa is being processed.

How can I apply for a visa for Soft Power activities at a Thai language school in Chiang Mai with an Argentinian passport?

John *******

Many embassies won’t issue you a DTV for Thai language. Suggest reaching out to the specific embassy in advance

Why was my DTV Soft Power visa application cancelled after submitting all required documents?

John *******

Where are you physically located? You state you plan to cover yourself using your savings, but the embassy will see that your bank didn’t have much savings more than the last few months. Crypto and gold won’t be sufficient evidence

How can I communicate with the embassy about my pending DTV visa application from Pakistan?

John *******

Are you Pakistani? If so, it will probably take 45+ days for review. From the few others on here who applied via Islamabad, I believe they all were rejected.

What are the pros and cons of the DTV in relation to taxation in Thailand?

John *******

Taxation has nothing to do with the visa but with how much time you spend in Thailand
