ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone,

My wife is about to give birth and I need to change my visa to Non B and need to apply outside.

Is it possible for me to go somewhere like Vietnam, apply online and fly back to Thailand while my visa is getting approved? Or do I need to be in Vietnam while I wait for the result?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks advice on applying for a Non-B visa from Vietnam while needing to stay in Thailand as his wife is about to give birth. A comment mentions that typically, one must remain in the country from the time of application until receiving the visa, with possibilities of embassies requesting proof of location during the process.

The requirement is that you are in the country from the time you apply until you receive the visa. They don't know where you are, but there have been recent reports of embassies asking for proof of your location again a few days after the application was submitted. So far I've only seen that reported for the DTV visa, but it could potentially happen for any visa.
