Can I apply for a Thai DTV visa while temporarily in Europe without residency?
Hey loves I need your advice.
I’m thinking of moving from my work permit to a DTV Visa. I’m gonna be spending time in Europe, but it’s not my residence. Can I still apply for a visa in a country that is not my residence? because I just called the Thai embassy in Holland and they seem to need a residence card to give the visa, but I did hear that it’s not necessary.
Anyone have experience with this ?
I’ll be in Netherlands, Italy, London, Germany

Does anyone know if non-residents and citizens of the USA can apply for DTV from there?

Most euro embassys do require some kind proof of residency, coukd be as much as actual residency card (Spain) or utility bill, you would have to search though the group posts for each of those

(Edit) I was able to easily apply from a different country than my permanent residency and know many others with the same story. Thought it was universal. Glad the group is able to correct this info and note that it is particular to your citizenship where you are able to apply.

It's Embassy-specific. In some you can in many others you can't. For example, when I applied for my DTV in South Korea, only Korean citizens or non-Koreans with residence cards could apply, but no just visitors or tourists. This was in August last year. Rules might have changed since (as you see, they keep changing the rules every time).Anonymous ******************

Not true in many euro embassys, while is true in most, but not all SEA ones.

Most of the European based Thai embassies require you to be a resident. This is different than the embassies in Southeast Asia.Maksym ***********
where you hear this and why this should be more real then embassy answer? In Europe you cant apply without permanent residence.
