Do Thai citizens need to go to the embassy in Bangkok for a European visa, or can an agency handle it?

Thai citizens seeking a visa for a European country must generally appear in person at the embassy to provide biometrics, as noted by several commenters. However, there are specific challenges with certain countries, such as Germany, which are experiencing delays due to service providers like VFS ceasing operations. It's crucial for applicants to check the requirements of the specific country they wish to visit and to verify whether that embassy is currently open for the type of visa needed, as some visas may be processed directly at the embassy.
