TLDR : Answer Summary

The Softpower (Muay Thai) visa application can generally be submitted online, meaning you do not need to visit the embassy unless an interview is requested. However, practices can vary by embassy; some might require an in-person interview regardless of online application. It's important to note that applicants must be located within the jurisdiction of the consulate they intend to use.

While you now apply online you still have to be in the location served by the consulate you plan to use

Vietnam. Jakarta are very popular and there are lots of posts to help with your application. Laos is good but can take 3-4 weeks.

Some embassies might approve everything online, some might require an interview in person cuz they have doubts, some seem requiring an interview to anyone who applies. I got asked for an interview when I applied so I had to physically go to the embassy.

Yes, submit everything online. No need to visit the embassy unless asked for an interview.
