ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! I am planning to apply for DTV visa in Cambodia. Does anyone have any experience with the embassy there? I have not seen many people talking about applying in Cambodia, mostly Indonesia, Laos or Vietnam. Thank you for any reply in advance 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

This thread discusses the experiences of individuals applying for the DTV visa at the Cambodian embassy. Key points include relatively successful applications taking place recently, the longer processing time of five business days, and financial requirements that apply across different embassies. Some users express skepticism about the ease of obtaining the visa due to potential requirements for notarization and scrutiny of financial documents. Additionally, the conversation touches on the transition to e-visa applications expected in Cambodia soon.

We have done 4 at PP now ( muay thai gym) at first, when DTV began they were refusing the applications outright but seem to be ok now.

This visa is so cheap and so flexible and so easy that it seems like it's too good to be true w three years of solid changes (much longer) I'm a skeptic 🤔

But running out to get it next week!!!

People don't use Phnom Penh mostly because of the FIVE BUSINESS day processing time not including the day you apply, <- which means you're in Cambodia a week minimum, and if they ask for more documents then the processing time goes longer.

It's not that it's a tough consulate to apply at, it's most people don't want to hang in Cambodia a week or more

Thanks man, I think the people are easy but no English and all is thru a window on a busy noisy road with nothing around for blocks

I should probably start working on my Vietnam Visa and do it there, my buddy said 2-3 days and 12k baht???????

In October the e-visa process in Cambodia is supposed to start. Can't find it on their website anymore, bit there was an announcement a few weeks ago.

Yes, it will probably be posted on both their website and FB page shortly before it starts.

For Ho Chi Minh, they begin on October 5th from what it appears, but for Phnom Penh it might not take place until later in the month.

Hi ! I'm a tourist (not from Cambodia). Can I submit in Cambodia for the DTV ? and must the documents be in English ? I have all the necessary documents but not in English...

Roy Gertel - yes, if in Cambodia, you can apply for the DTV, even as a tourist. Yes, your documents need to be in English or Thai (maybe Khmer). Do you really expect a Thai embassy in Cambodia to accept paperwork in a random language?

A little bit extra isn't always a bad thing but when they start asking for your embassy to notarize or endorse documents and scrutinize Financials, requiring funds to be deposited for lengthy periods yet nothing is mentioned on their website it becomes super frustrating and can be an expensive trip if you're not aware of these things from the beginning.

Ron Matsko A lot of success posts with Laos, Cambodia, Jakarta, Vietnam. Increasing posts from Taipei.

@Andi **********

Success with Laos is predicated on 3 months of funds parked there or the use of an agent.

Phnom Penh is easy. Ho Chi Minh too. Both moving to e-visas soon.

Jakarta - relatively straightforward, but 2 months of funds parked needed.

Thanks.. Laos is 3mths of 500K or just the final balance of 500k is, ok? Jakarta needs 2 mths of 500k?

Laos needs 500K across the entire 3 months. Verified just days ago. It would appear Jakarta needs 2 months of the same (though the person who showed me the reply in their email showed a reply which seemed to hint that they need 2 months worth of statements). It wasn't 100% clear, but Vientiane is very clear.

If Vientiane allowed funds to be recently deposited, I'd be going there within just days but now I have to go elsewhere, simply for this reason as I can't wait another 2 months.

Yes, they did. They said, closing balance on the day you apply is fine. No specific statement length, but I'd suggest to bring 6 months or more just in case.
