ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, 

I have a question about the application process. I see a lot of people on this forum applying online & some having issues with the web portal. I’m curious if you can submit the application fully in person at the embassy / consulate still ?  Or it must be online ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The current process for applying for a Thai visa primarily requires applicants to complete their applications online. Based on community responses, it seems that in-person submissions at the embassy or consulate are no longer an option, and all applications must be submitted through the relevant online portal.
