Can I start my visa application online before reaching Da Nang for submission at the HCM consulate?

Visa Application Process Thailand Visa NON-O Visa HCM Consulate Da Nang Expats in Thailand

ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm planning to apply from Da Nang to the HCM consulate! I'm flying there soon, but wanted to get started early on getting everything together. Can I make an account, and start uploading everything, save it, and then when I get to Da Nang hit submit? Or will that cause problems and should I just wait.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about starting their visa application online while still in Da Nang, with a plan to submit it at the HCM consulate. Responses confirm that it's possible to create an account, upload documents, and save the application for submission later. However, caution is advised as the HCM consulate has been known to reject applications without clear reasons.
