Can changing countries while waiting for a visa approval lead to revocation of the visa?

The discussion highlights concerns about the potential risks of changing countries while waiting for a Thai DTV visa approval. Several community members advise against it, citing rumors of visa revocations if applicants are found outside the country of application. Although no confirmed cases of visa revocation were provided, participants suggest that visa applications could be rejected or canceled if the applicant is not in the country during the processing period. It's recommended to stay in the country where the visa application is submitted until it is granted to avoid financial loss.
