Can I apply for a Thai DTV visa through the Manila embassy while staying in Cebu?

Yes — what matters is where you are physically located, not which city you prefer.

DTV is applied through the Thai e-Visa system, and applications from the Philippines are handled by the Thai Embassy in Manila.

You can stay in Cebu and apply online, but you’ll need to show proof that you are currently in the Philippines (entry stamp + accommodation).

I applied via manila from cebu and the surrounding area, but it’s worth knowing that sometimes they request an interview and you’ll need to be prepared to get to manila quickly

Yes, you can apply via Manilla while in Cebu
