Hi,

I'm in Thailand with a 60-day visa right now. I have found that I am well suited to the requirements of DTV. Can I apply for a DTV visa in-country?

You might have problem​ if they found you were in Thailand when the visa was approved​.

Its clearly written Embassy cannot issue visas to applicant​ who reside in Thailand​

Agreed, 5 years is a long time to be relying on a Visa obtained fraudulently

Thank you. Perhaps you know which of the nearest countries I can go to in case I want to apply for DTV?

I believe I've seen confirmed DTV from Penang and from Vietnam but I can't quite remember. It's still VERY early in the DTV
