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

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.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is awaiting an update on their DTV visa application submitted at the LA consulate, which has been pending for over 30 days after resubmission. They seek guidance on whether they can apply for the visa at a consulate in Taiwan if their application is rejected. Community responses suggest they should check for updates via social media or call the consulate, as physical walk-ins are no longer a straightforward option. They note a standard processing timeframe for visa applications and highlight that delays may occur due to holidays.

According to their website there's a 15 working day processing time plus an additional 5 working days if additional documents are requested. There's also been at least 3 holidays in that period. Hopefully you will here shortly

Message them on Facebook and ask for an update. They are better at answering there.

And there is no such thing as "walk into a consulate" anymore. ALL Thai visas are done through the online e-visa platform.

I do not think you can walk in any embassy or consulate and apply these days - Visa. You can travel there and apply online though
