Can I apply for a Thai visa at a consulate in Taiwan if my application is pending in the US?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello friends,

I applied for DTV as remote worker at LA consulate mid March and around 10 days later got a request for more documentation. It’s been more than 30+ days now after submission with no update. I emailed them already 3 weeks post re-submission and still no update on the application. Still says ‘pending document check.’ If I get accepted, great. But, if I get rejected, can I walk into a consulate in Taiwan and apply there as a US citizen? It’s unfortunate that the LA consulate has taken as long as it has because I’ve heard from others that the Thai consulates in other parts of the US are processing at a much faster rate. Any advice will be appreciated.

Literally happened to me too girl I also applied to the LA consulate and I waited almost 4 weeks for them to get back to me after I uploaded the documents they requested and now they are asking for 3 of the same documents I already uploaded. Feel free to message me if you want to connect happy to chat and figure it out together

You cannot walk into any Thai embassy and apply. ALL Thai visas are processed online through the e-visa system, regardless of which Thai embassy.

Message the LA consulate through Facebook and ask them for an update.
