I’ve got a question🙋🏻‍♀️ since DTV is now applying online, if I go to Hong Kong and apply it online on the first day, then I go back to Thailand for say 7 days and I go back to Hong Kong on the 8th days and collect the visa (or it’s just by email??) and go back on the 9th? Or I can already get the visa approve online between the 2-8th days when I’m in Thailand ??
Answer summary
The conversation centers on the process of applying for a Thai DTV visa online from Hong Kong. Users advise that one should remain in Hong Kong after applying, as the Thai authorities may require further documentation or might request an interview. It's generally advised not to return to Thailand until the visa is approved to avoid complications or losing the application fee.

You are supposed to stay where you are. Look at some other posts today where the embassy is asking to prove this ie Taipei. Be a pity to be asked and lose your fee and have to start all over again

Are your current legal residence in the Hong Kong SAR or the Macao SAR? If not, you can not apply in Hong Kong...

That being said - No, once you apply you should remain in Hong Kong until the visa is approved.

You should stay where you apply and don't come to Thailand until getting approved. They may request for additional documents, proves of location or interview.
