ORIGINAL POSTER

If your country (Canada) supports evisa, can you apply for DTV there while not being there currently but still outside Thailand? I am a resident there where all my utility bills etc go to my address there. Would that be enough? Or is it better to apply at a nearby Asian country?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You cannot apply for a Thai DTV visa from Canada if you are not physically in Canada. While Canada supports eVisa applications, the rules stipulate that you must be in the country where you are applying for the visa. If you are outside Thailand, you will need to go to a nearby Asian country with a Thai embassy to submit your application there.

No, you cannot apply evisa in Canada if you are not in Canada. Evisa only changed the method of submitting the application, it did not change the rules of applying for a visa. So your question basically says "Can I go to the embassy in Canada and submit my application but I'm not there?" That would be impossible. And the rules are the same as that scenario. If you are in Thailand then you need to leave Thailand and go to another country and apply for the visa at the Thai embassy in that country.

Can I apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) at a Thai embassy in another country if I work remotely for a company in New Zealand?
