I applied for the DTV online and received the email attached the next day. I’m currently in Greece with family when I decided to apply for the DTV.
I attached a letter stating where I was staying and the stamp of entry to the application as proof of location outside of Thailand.
My understanding is you can apply from anywhere but their email states that I need to show I’m a resident there.
Any advice on this?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user applied for a Thai DTV visa while in Greece but is not a resident there. Various comments clarify that many embassies, especially in the EU and America, typically require applicants to be residents of the country where they apply to prevent 'embassy shopping.' Several participants emphasized that applications from non-residents are often rejected, as indicated by the embassy's email. There are specific exceptions noted for some ASEAN countries where residency may not be mandated.
