TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a Thai DTV visa at any Thai embassy that accepts applications from non-residents. Popular choices include embassies in Vietnam and Laos. However, when applying online, you must provide proof of your current location, typically an entry stamp from the country you're currently in.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
