I’m applying for the non-immigrant ED visa for my son while in Hong Kong. Does anyone know if he enters a country (in this case, HK) on one passport (HKID) can we get the visa affixed to his other (nationality) passport? Or does it have to be with the passport he entered the county with? Tried calling the consulate in HK with my question but no one answers. TIA!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about applying for a Thai non-immigrant ED visa for their son while in Hong Kong, specifically whether the visa can be affixed to a nationality passport if the son entered Hong Kong on a HKID passport. A commenter explains that the Thai embassy in Hong Kong uses an evisa system, meaning visas are not affixed to passports and must be applied for online. The commenter advises checking the embassy's policies regarding visa applications from non-Hong Kong residents, as it may require entering Thailand on the same passport used for the application.

Brandon ************

The Thai embassy in Hong Kong uses the evisa system. There won't be any visa affixed in his passport. You'll need to apply online through the evisa website.

****************************

You need to check the embassy website to find out if they only issue visas to Hong Kong residents. If that's the case then you would need to apply with his HK passport and you would have to enter Thailand using that passport. But if they allow foreigners to apply you can use the other passport for the application.
