Has anyone applied with a British or Irish passport recently from a SE Asian country and been approved ? 

I have been away from from the Uk for two years and was advised by an agent to apply from my home country due to my passports.

Answer summary

The discussion covers the experiences of individuals applying for a Thai visa with British and Irish passports from Southeast Asian countries. Participants share that it is possible to be approved for a visa while staying in a SE Asian country, and multiple approvals have been reported recently. Advice from an agent was challenged, emphasizing that applicants can manage the process independently.

Anonymous participant You just need to show you are staying in the SE Asian country at time of application. Plenty of non resident UKers obtained their DTV in that region.

Plenty have been approved with UK passports from countries close by. Sure I saw one today from Hanoi.

thanks, I was told that I would need residency in the country I was applying from. I didn’t think that was the case but things are changing quickly and I can’t keep up 🙈

Anonymous participant Some places require residency or long term visas bit not places like Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos for UK passport holders.
