With the e-visa now rolling out in many countries, am I correct in thinking that if I am a resident of Australia that normally does his non-o (marriage)  there if I were to go to South Africa (work) would i still be able to apply for a non-o there and come back to Thailand even though I'm not a resident of South Africa?

Cheers

Answer summary

You can apply for a Thai non-O visa while in South Africa, but it depends on the specific requirements of the Thai embassy there. Typically, you need to apply for a visa through the embassy in the country you are physically located in, and some embassies may require you to have legal residency in that country.

Basically, that is correct. As a rule, you have to apply for a visa through the eVisa system through the embassy of the country you are physically staying in.

But it depends on the embassy and type of visa (requirements) if you really can apply for a visa there or not. Some embassy requires you to have legal residency in that country for selected visas. It hugely varies by the Thai embassy/consulate which types of visas require legal residency. You need to check them.
