- I feel like there have been people who have responded both ways on this one.

Anonymous participant - so that doesn’t count as one of the submission days. The embassy in Phnom Penh states it takes 11 business days and they almost always stick to that. Today would be the 11th day (submission on 29th) (usually updates come in evening), but I believe today is a holiday, so might be tomorrow.

What time did you apply on the 28th?

Anonymous participant none of your response makes any sense. If it was an in person drop off, you could have told your company that they were using the wrong passport. Why would you apply via an embassy outside of Thailand versus one in Bangkok and why not check how long it takes? Two weeks isn’t that long. That said, I don’t think you will have much luck entering without the passport associated with the DTV on hand, but if only entering for 2 weeks, probably can enter visa exempt

Anonymous participant: That is the point! Do you think they are going to let you enter on a visa linked to another passport that you can’t present? I have had visas linked to other passports (expired, out of pages, etc.), but I am able to present it with my current passport. Why did you leave that passport at embassy and not your other one? When will it be ready to pick up?

Same time

Anonymous participant but your DTV is attached to the other passport number. When entering on the passport attached to the DTV, there is no need to include your other passport. Very different.

@Jack *******

HCMC is known to ask this for applicants applying for soft power DTV

@Anna ********

- some embassies are asking for proof of monthly income as well

If they are asking for it, then it is needed. Can you tell how did you originally show that you had 500k? What type of account, etc.?
