TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can apply for a DTV visa from Bali, although the processing is handled online by the embassy in Jakarta. Recent experiences indicate that the application must be completed online as walk-in services have been suspended. While applicants may not need to travel to Jakarta for initial submissions, an interview may be required at the royal Thai embassy if requested. Successful applicants have reported quick processing times without interviews, and it is advisable to print out the confirmation email as proof of your visa for travel.

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Yes you can apply from Bali however it's processed online by the embassy in Jakarta. Online is the only option anywhere because they stopped offering walk in service for DTV. I just went through this and my papers are being processed.
