Can I apply for a tourist visa to Thailand while on a tourist stamp in Hong Kong?
Heyyy
Do you know if I can apply for a tourist visa (TR) to Thailand while I'm in Hong Kong? I'm not a Hong Kong resident, I'll be there on a tourist stamp, and I've read that to apply, I need proof of legal stay in HK, meaning at least a visa. Can anyone confirm that I can't apply on a tourist stamp?

Answer summary
The post inquires about the possibility of applying for a Thailand tourist visa (TR) while in Hong Kong, specifically addressing the concern of whether a tourist stamp allows for this application. Responses confirm that only individuals with legal residence in Hong Kong, such as permanent residents or holders of certain valid HK identity cards, can apply for the visa. The Thai embassy's guidelines emphasize that a valid permission of stay is required, which excludes applying with just a tourist stamp.

No, Hong Kong only accepts applications from individuals who hold permanent residence.
