Can I apply for a 60-day tourist visa at the Thai consulate in Kuala Lumpur after April 1st?

Just my 5 cents:

Nowhere the E-visa says that you have to actually be in your home country to apply for the TR visa. All it says is that you should use the Thai Embassy of your home country when applying.

I would have rather thought that the E-visa system simplifies these matters.

You can get a TR Visa issued FROM your home country, then fly, let’s assume, to India for a 2 weeks holiday. From there you fly to Hongkong for another week. And from there to Thailand.

Or you fly to Hongkong, from there you plan to commence your itinerary to Australia. Whilst staying in Hongkong, you change your mind and decide to fly to Thailand instead.

You apply for a TR visa at your home country’s Thai embassy and get it issued

In both cases, there is nothing wrong with obtaining the Thai Tourist Visa

So in the first situation described, over three weeks after being issued a TR visa through the E-visa system from the Thai embassy of your home country, you enter Phuket HKT via a flight from Hongkong.

Given the second situation, I would assume I could rightfully use this visa.

Why would it be a problem?

I'm going to say Tod is correct on this matter on the e-visa site it clearly asks for your current location stating you are in the UK when you're not is IMO giving false information and it wouldn't be difficult to ascertain your travel history from your passport

Easy to check the stamps in your passport and the visa issuing date for IO if they want.

And those who want to "say" they were in their home country to apply for the eVisa to Thailand more likely apply for one during their stay in Thailand, that IO can check much easier than comparison with the stamps.

@Tod ********

why would that be a problem? He could have flown from the UK to Bangkok, stayed in transit and flew on to Cambodia. And enter with the TR visa issued in the UK, a week later, coming from Cambodia . . . the TR visa is valid for use for 3 months, regardless in which country you might stop over in between the issue date and the entry

I went to Thai embassy twice to get TR visa. They are VERY picky about the requirements. I got turned away because I am staying with family in Bangkok and need a bunch of documents. They even ask birth cert. of my daughter... Must have return ticket also. I have MM2H visa in Malaysia. my understanding is that they do not provide TR visa unless you are resident in Malaysia. In any case they are not cooperative at all...
