ORIGINAL POSTER

Currently in Thailand and new company I will be working for is based in Australia.

I do not want to go all the way back to Australia (I'm an Australian passport) to apply for this DTV.

Can I go to Vietnam (or any other neighbouring countries) to apply for this visa?

So much information to sift through it's confusing af.

Any input/thoughts will be greatly welcomed!

Do I have to be based near the embassy or just only in the country?

only in country. However, some countries have two consulates, so need to apply via the one that covers the part of the country you are in.
