Asking for my partner who is an Australian currently living in Germany (he still has an official residence in aus). He would like to apply for a working holiday visa for Thailand. After contacting the Thai Consulate in Sydney they said we have to contact the German Embassy (tho he isn’t a German citizen).
Do you know more about this issue? Can he apply for a working holiday visa and if yes, which embassy does he need to contact?
Thankful for any help! Hannah
TLDR : Answer Summary
The question revolves around whether an Australian citizen living in Germany can apply for a working holiday visa for Thailand. Confusion arose when the Thai Consulate in Sydney referred him to the German Embassy, although he is not a German citizen. Several comments highlighted that he should instead contact the Thai Embassy in Canberra for accurate information regarding the working holiday visa. However, there were also clarifications that Thailand does not officially recognize a working holiday visa category. To work legally in Thailand, one must apply for a work permit along with their visa application.
