I'm from the Maldives and there's no Thai consulate here. So I've to apply for the DTV thru the one in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Does this mean I've to be in Sri Lanka to apply for it or can I do it online while in the Maldives?

Summary so far

The question pertains to the application process for the Thai Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) for a resident of the Maldives, where no Thai consulate exists. They inquire about whether they must physically be in Sri Lanka to apply through its consulate or if the application can be done online from the Maldives. The comments, however, stray off-topic, discussing unrelated issues such as banking and visa extension challenges.
