ORIGINAL POSTER

Another DTV visa question for you guys. I'm a French passport holder, currently in Thailand; I'm wondering if I need to go all the way back to France to apply for this visa as I just tried online on the evisa website, and it won't let me apply unless i specify France as my current location. Does anyone have any other info about applying at neighbouring embassies like Vietnam or Malaysia?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A French passport holder currently in Thailand is uncertain about the DTV visa application process, specifically if they must return to France to apply or if they can use embassies in neighboring countries like Vietnam or Malaysia. Comments suggest checking updates on local embassy websites for available options, as not all nearby embassies may process the DTV visa yet.

I’m in the same boat. It seems Vientiane will be the easiest option.

check the website of the Thai embassy, where you wan’t to apply, in a week or 2, when they have updated their websites.

Much more factual inforformation will also be available then.

It's up to them if they choose to sell this Visa and, if they do, who can apply. None of the nearby ones have committed yet as far as I know.

Vietnam and Laos have posted information about DTV. Cambodia and Malaysia so far have not.
