Can a British passport holder apply for a DTV visa from Thailand or Europe?

You have to apply from abroad, like with any other visa, I can't see why applying from Europe would be any different than applying from Laos, especially when you can apply online.

- Think Laos is okay, I am planning a trip there to apply for the DTV next month.. hopefully nothing changes by then 🙂 -

Check the Embassy/Consulate website where you want to apply to see if it is available to you as a tourist

You can also try, by way of a ‘test’ application on the official site. There is a drop-down of countries which should be all those allowed.

You may have to play around - trial by error - to see which lets you progress.

You can either save that one OR delete it, I believe.

I only presume that this way works… if it’s the similar embassy protocol & procedure as it is if applying for a 60-day METV from another country.

I can’t swear by this but I think it’s a good indication. I wouldn’t have thought it’s limited to Laos. I’ve applied from South Korea before (for the 60-day…)… and wanted to know if I could before I went there, from Thailand…

So… same principal essentially.

There is two sets of Thai consulates. Those already participating in the Thai eVisa system. For those you need to prove that you have residence within their jurisdiction. Then there is consulates in some countries that still do paper sticker visa with a personal appearance. The latter MIGHT issue you a DTV even as a non-resident. That varies from consulate to consulate and also depends on what visa you seek. For the DTV it isn’t sure / confirmed yet which (if any) consulates will do.
