Is it possible to apply Thai visa in Jakarta without residency permit?

Hello,

I will apply for a volunteer visa with invitation letters from government agencies.

Can I apply in KL or Jakarta without having residency permit in those countries?

People in here might have experience about it.

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a Thai volunteer visa at the Thai embassies in both Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur even if you do not have a residency permit in those countries, as long as you provide proof of your current location.
