Can non-European residents apply for a tourist visa at Thai embassies in Europe?

@Ron ******

Visa runs are about to be a dream.

Why spend countless hours in a bus to go to the border and sit in a shitty hotel while you wait for your new visa when I can just apply for a new tourist visa from the Washington DC embassy through Evisa while I'm sitting in my Bangkok condo. I'll have my visa email and Thailand Pass before I ever even take a short taxi or train ride to the airport. I'll take a quick flight to Singapore and see the beautiful airport then head back and stamp in with my TR visa. So easy and cheap.

Idk about that, Evisas would make visa runs easier because you don't need to spend 3 days in a country waiting for the visa application.

Garrett here is a quite from Barrows meeting yesterday with the MFA.

'I want to be quite clear here. Although the Thailand Pass is a project under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is the Ministry of Public Health who are responsible for verifying the vaccine certificates. This can quite often be done automatically. Thailand is part of a 30-member group of countries that share a PKI (public key infrastructure) for vaccination certificates. This will allow them to instantly authenticate the certificate. I haven’t seen a list of countries, but I am told that most are in Europe'

Garrett in theory, yes but in reality, unlikely.

First you need booked and paid for flights from YOUR country's passport.

You for instance, couldn't apply via London using Evisa, the same as I can't apply via the US.

These rent a tickets aren't going to last a whole lot longer.

Intelligence is now being shared.

Even Barrow has been told that 30, mostly EU countries have signed up to Thailand and sharing people's health and vaccination status.

There is a system going in place, or it may already be in place regarding passports and booked air tickets.

Basically, your being cleared to fly weeks before you even attempt it

@David ******

ah ok.
